Physix Gear Knee Compression Sleeve for Men & Women - Best Compression Knee Brace for Walking, Running, Gym, Basketball, Weightlifting,Workout, Sports - Knee sleeves Support Compression & Stability

Excellent! I tried various support sleeves and knee braces. This one is my favorite. Sturdy, strong, fits well. Seems very durable. Sizing was a little tricky for me. A pink one at Medium fit a bit too tight, but a black one at medium was just right. No problem with returns, so can exchange size if it’s not quite right. The overall take on this is that it’s a great product, made drable to kast, and it provides just enough support to help stabilize my knee. I also have a Doufurt knee braces which I love for times when my knee needs more sturdy/strong support.

I needed support after knee replacement surgery. I was doing great with Physical Therapy, but the swelling was affecting my ability to progress to improve bending my knee to 120 degrees. I shopped and read reviews and decided on this brace. It fits well and is as comfortable as a brace can be.

not bad

I run a long distance and have recently developed a severe "runner's knee" on both sides of my knees. I already have Osgood-Schlatter disease on my left knee which I also fractured (and has healed) last year, so realized that I'd need a good knee support if I run more than 10 miles.I have tried THREE (3) knee support braces/compression sleeves including "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" for that purpose, and wanted to list them for comparison.(1). Breg "FreeRunner". Formerly prescribed for the fracture and designed for an athlete/runner to help with their rehab. It did a great job staying in place during my 13-mile run. But it did NOT completely keep my knee pain-free as it normally would with stairs and biking. I started to feel the same discomfort --> disturbing pain around 10 miles. The brace is bulky so occasionally rubbed against the other thigh - which is a big NO-NO.(2). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace (this product): this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did an amazing job in protecting my right knee which was suffering runner's knee. It fits like your favorite compression knee-high sock with no limit in movement and is definitely a more comfortable wear than PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (#3). But the anti-slip grips of this knee sleeve at the top is tighter than PowerLix's and may feel a bit too tight. It is however never uncomfortable and the sleeve stayed on without rolling or chafing for an entire full marathon!I ran my first full marathon race in this sleeve with peace of mind and ease of knee :-) It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race.(3) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve: This is a BRACE that is in a form of a compression sleeve. It holds my kneecap in place, protects my Osgood-Schlatter bump (bone protrusion), prevents abnormal gait due to the uneven pulls by the thigh muscles, keeps the optimal temperature inside, allows FULL range of motion. I can flex my knee all the way. It is nice and tight but never uncomfortable.I wore this on my problem left knee and ran the full marathon race this past weekend. It stayed on without ever sliding/rolling down or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles and I did not have to worry or think about it. Most importantly - Absolutely NO PAIN during and post race. I was SO amazed.[OVERALL]Both "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" & "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace" (this product) did an amazing job and are highly recommended for long-distance runners. They stabilize the knee joint and prevent pain/inflammation by right support and compression but ut never restrict the movement or stop the blood flow - even for hours!*Sizing: I took the measurements 4 & 5 inches above the top of the BENT KNEE in a sitting position. They fell between 15.3 -15.7 inch. So according to the sizing chart provided by the company, I got a MEDIUM for "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" and a SMALL for "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". They fit perfectly.*Length: According to the product specification, "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" is a bit longer than "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". But due to the very firm fabric of PoweLix and very stretchy fabric of Physix, Physix knee sleeve ends up slightly taller than PoweLix when I wore them.*Color:Grey/Black for Physix looks stylish, and the grey circle at the kneecap helps adjust the sleeve in the right position.Grey/Black for PowerLix (this product) is almost entirely black (see photo - upper right). It doesn't look like the product photo on this webpage and thought I got a wrong product! Not sure about Blue which I didn't get.I hope they both last long!!! Thank you for reading my long review :-)

Do not buy this if you are allergic to silicon! They do not disclose that these have strips of silicone inside. I didn't see it and had a horrible reaction!

I'm taking the time to write this review because this product does exactly what it's to advertised to do. It adds an extra layer of support when I need it which is usually playing pickle. I'm 5'4" and weigh 137 and I got a size small I do believe Medium would not be snuggled enough.

It’s exactly what I needed for walking. I have severe IT band inflammation in one leg and knee tendinitis in the other leg. So I wear one on each leg. I initially bought one to see if I liked it and immediately bought a second one. They are easy to pull on and so far, do not slide down. The joint can flex comfortably with movement.

Expensive wor what it is. Just works. The elastic that goes on the upper thigh is a bit rigid.
