Hinged Knee Brace

I have one knee that needed a replacement in 1990. They advised me to wait till I was older. Over the years I have purchased numerous knee braces for this knee with varying results. Recently, my other knee began giving me problems and I once again found myself in search of a solid knee brace. I probably own more knee braces than WalMart and CVS combined! This brace is it!! It fits, it is very sturdy and I can wear it all day. I work in the yard a lot and this brace allows me to do so without pain. I bought one for each knee and am so very pleased with the fit (does not slide) and the sturdiness. I wish I had found this brace years ago. I thought the cost was reasonable. To be honest, when you've searched as long as I have, price becomes secondary to being able to wear it and have it do what I need it to do. It is super easy to put on with just a couple of adjustments. Kuddos for design, function and fit!

This is a serious piece of equipment. A seriously good piece of equipment. My knee was very injured; I was on crutches and couldn't place any weight on it at all for a few weeks. This brace made a great deal of difference, and allowed me to walk on it once it became weight bearing without it dislocating either laterally or anteriorly/posteriorly. It fits very tight, which is necessary for it to provide support. That being said, it gets uncomfortable after a short while and it's necessary to slide it off the knee to relieve the pressure. I'm able to do some pretty physical work on my feet with brace on, and wouldn't have the confidence to do so without it. BTW, I'm right at the edge of the sizing chart for medium and large. I ordered a medium, and it was too tight to use. Then again, my knee was in a lot of pain and was still very swollen. I ordered a large, and it's much better. You can tighten this thing down quite a bit with the cross straps, so even if you order up a little bit on size you can nonetheless create stability. The cross straps completely rock. BTW, I thought it was either an MCL or LCL, but it seems more like the ACL. This brace will help with all of them. Good luck!

Titles says it all. I ordered a handful of different knee braces from amazon, and this one is by far the highest quality, slim, and offers the greatest support. Not super inclusive for plus sized people with thicker thighs. I wear a size 12/14 in jeans, ordered a XX-large based on my measurements (largest size offered on Amazon) and it’s snug like a hug - a big ol bear hug. I am hoping that it “wears in” with time and becomes a little less suffocating for my thunderous thighs.. only time will tell.

I am pleased to say that I’ve been wearing one of these on each knee every day for the past three years and they are still keeping me going. I am 6’-2” tall and weigh 297lbs and I have had surgeries on both knees for meniscus tears, ACL tears, broken bone/cartilage removal (loose bodies), and arthritis. I could not function or do my job without wearing these everyday. One Velcro strap is losing its hold, but I wrap it with electrical tape to keep it in place. The design, quality, and longevity of these braces is astonishing. It relieves my pain and allows me to climb ladders and scaffolding to do my job. One amazing design feature is they stay put all day long. They have never slid down my leg, regardless of my activity. Running, cycling, crawling, it doesn’t matter- these braces stay in place. One of the best investments to improve my mobility that I’ve ever made and at a great price point.

We do a lot of hiking, these are great for keeping stability. The rods are removable for washing when a sweat is worked up.

This is a sturdy, well-made knee brace that does its job. But if you want one and if you're anywhere close to the larger size get the larger size. I got a 1X and I should have gotten the 2X. I ended up with some rash issues, whether due to the fit or not I don't know. You should probably wash every knee brace after you use it, but I never have before. So I wash and dry this one first, spray Tinactin on the inside of it and put chafing powder on the coverage area of my leg and I can wear it all day. The company recommends you remove the hinges when you wash it. Well, that's easier said than done, especially putting them back in. The hinges certainly look like they can take a little moisture, so they'll be getting dunked with the rest of the brace from now on but won't be going in the washer. Maybe they'll need some lube, but I won't be dealing with taking them out and in every day.

Very comfortable and supportive.

Torn meniscus walking around at 280lbs. I’m 5’11” and decent amount of muscle. I’m overweight but active and I do trade work so I’m on my feet all day lifting heavy tools, equipment and supplies. Brace is extremely comfortable and the support feels invincible. It’s a little bulky but it really feels like a very agile exoskeleton with the ability to fully bend the knee without no pain or discomfort. Super durable. Dragging myself across rooftops and installing floor tiles and still looks 90% after 4 months of very frequent usage. Probably 3x/week on average.
