    Chose this brace after complete ACL reconstruction surgery. Super comfy, barely notice it's on, and provides enough stability for snowboarding. Haven't used it for soccer yet, but think it will work well!

    I have this in both the Medium Sleeve, and the Large Wrap. My measurements put me right on the line for sizes, so it was hard to know which to select, based on the different design. I love this brace. It does exactly what I need it to for a torn ACL and pre-op support.
    Cons: The sleeve version is very supportive, but with the knee donut it's very hard to have any mobility. The wrap version is the opposite. Much better mobility but not much support in the kneecap. So it depends on what you need from it.

    great for MCL strain recovery

    Reviewed by:
    Verified Purchase
    Am using this brace to stabilize a knee that suffered a Grade 3 MCL strain 5 weeks ago. My PT and the ortho doc's PA both recommended this specific brace. I initially tried the sleeve style but found the wraparound style was the better choice to accommodate the swelling in the knee. I wore it directly on the skin for the first three weeks. Had one point of mild skin irritation with a seam on the lateral side after wearing it all day. Now I am wearing it over thin pants. The brace is very adjustable, allows for strengthening and ROM exercises while providing the lateral/medial support my knee needs as the tissue heals. Highly recommend. It is worth every penny.
    Pros: see above
    Cons: see above

    Poor fit

    Reviewed by:
    Verified Purchase
    I ordered my brace per the sizing chart. Found that the brace does not fit well. It constantly slips down. The metal supports dig into my calf leaving a bruise. The back of the brace pinches my skin and is very uncomfortable. Will have to contact rep for proper sizing since this does give excellent support I will reorder.
    Pros: Good support and light weight. Easy to pull on and the Velcro holds very well. It comes with an extra Velcro replacement strap and stops.
    Cons: Improper fit. Slips down. Difficult to remove especially if you have a problem bending your knee.

    I tore my LCL while playing rugby and after 1.5 months, I purchased this brace with the help of my physical therapist. This brace was recommended for the hinges on both the left and right side of the knee. I was able to go back onto the pitch for rugby practice with the help of this brace! It gave me the confidence I needed to continue catch, run, step and tackle. This brace definitely helped my leg regain its strength and motion throughout my recovery.
    Pros: Helps with regaining confidence Very supportive
    Cons: It's huge, but well worth it

    Great brace allowed me to continue hiking in the mountains!

    Reviewed by:
    I live in the high country up in the mountains of Colorado and like to hike. I started having really bad pain whenever I was hiking downhill. At first I tried some less expensive braces with no help. I decided after talking with customer service to give this brace a try and it worked. I am now able to hike up and down steep inclines with no trouble. Also, the brace has caused me no discomfort having used on many hikes 6-8 miles each. next year I plan on conquering some 14ners with the help of this brace!

    I have owned several braces that were specially made for me. I have never had a brace in this price range that works and is as comfortable as this brace. This brace stays in place and gives very good support.

    strong knee support and light weight

    Reviewed by:

    i have this brace. it is a great brace. I am currently using it on my left knee while awaiting an MRI on that knee for a possible ACL tear.. I have used it on my right knee after 2 procedures on that knee which has left it unstable when lifting heavier weights.

    The brace provides a high degree of support for my knees. Without it on and only using crutches to move around my left knee will shift laterally in a bad way.

    The spacer material is the proper way to go for material. It breathes well and is more compliant than neoprene. I do highly recommend getting the sleeve to go under it. Extended wear time was irritating to the skin on my leg.

    The only down side and it is not even a big thing is the size of it. It is HUGE. Without actually measuring it, I would estimate 18" long. It takes getting used to but after a few times wearing it I was used to it.

    For something short of a custom built brace this is the best thing I have used and I have had a brace of some type on my knee for 15 years and counting. You really get what you paid for on this one.
