Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support - Knee Brace for Pain Relief and Stabilization - Patellar Knee Pad for Enhanced

Love this brace for peace of mind and comfort when playing active sports post an ACL surgery a few years ago. Comfortable with support for ligaments. Read more

I upgraded from neoprene drug store knee braces to this. It’s a bit more work to get in place but the support is phenomenal. I’m running longer with zero pain. I followed the size guide on the product page and am happy with the fit. It’s a couple sizes smaller than I wore in neoprene. Amazon claims this product is often returned due to fit so check your size carefully. Good breathability too. W Orth the price Read more

I got this brace about a month ago. I've had knee problems most of my life. I've gone thru more braces than I would like to admit. The past few years I've settled in with bauerfeind and zamst being the main brands for my braces. I own 2 of the genutrain knee braces. The genutrain was the best knee brace I had ever used. I've never had surgery on my knee so mine is a stability issue with a floating knee cap. The genutrain did a great job for what I needed... Kept me stable and kept my knee cap where it should be. Enter this sport brace. Love it. I wish the sizing was a little more like the genutrain but I'm still good with it. It fits more snug than the genutrain but it's still Uber comfy. I wore it for a round of golf and forgot it had it on. That says something. I'm debating on getting another one. Owning 2 genutrains is what's Making me hesitate. Those are still good. Just this might be better for sports and being active. Update: I wore this brace on a bike ride today and then left it on while I ran around town. This was the longest I had the brace on... About 7 hours. By the time I got home and got it off, something was feeling weird on my skin. Turns out it was this stickier stuff that's on the inside of the brace. It's there to help keep the brace from slipping but at this time, I'd have to say that I don't like that material. My skin is red and irritated from it. It's like it gripped and stretched my skin. I think women who wear strapless bras might know what I'm talking about. It's the same stuff I've seen on my wife's strapless bras. She complains about it too. When taking it off its literally like peeling it off Ur skin. I won't modify my rating just yet. But as it stands, this basically told me not to order another just yet. Sure it doesn't slip but I'm not too fond of the reaction I'm having to the sticky stuff. Read more

I wear these to ski because I have bad knees and they help keep my knees stabilized so I can ski longer and harder. After maybe the 4th or 5th use, I started to develop a rash on my upper thigh where the rubberized grip strip contour around my thigh. It's not a deal breaker and they aren't uncomfortable while in use, but having itchy blisters after the fact is pretty annoying. I thought maybe it was because they were dirty but even after washing them I still got the blisters. I'll try out some chamois cream next time I wear them to see if that might help. The isolation of the knee and the compression fit is worth the rash at the end of the day, and maybe I'll just need to put some tape or something around my leg before putting them on, or wear them over my base layers. All around seems like a great product to help with joint issues. Worn them maybe 15 times to ski and a little on some hikes and I definitely notice a difference in knee pain the next day. Just gotta figure out the rash thing. Read more

This is an astonishingly fine knee brace. I am a 72 year old male who has played squash for 65 years. 15 years ago my right knee began to deteriorate and cause significant pain, the result of a compound fracture that happened playing soccer some 60 years ago. When I turned 50, while compensating for the "bad" right knee, my left knee began to hurt tremendously and I was compelled to stop playing altogether. Along the way I tried any number of different knee braces - alas none allowed me to return to squash at the 3.5 level. Some braces were better than others, but none really were game changers. By age 66 the pain became some overwhelming that I had no choice but to get a complete knee replacement (Stryker Triathlon system) for my right knee. After 2+ years of rehab, the "new" knee was fine (zero pain), but the left knee had by now deteriorated to the point that it was preventing me from returning to the courts. At that point, I tried a Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support for Pain Relief and Stabilization for the left knee. IT'S PERFECT, AND I NOW AM ABLE TO PLAY SQUASH PAIN FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 22 YEARS. (Btw. My doctors don't believe me when I tell them I'm playing squash 2-3x a week with a TKR!) Read more

the material is soft and stretchy and provides good support for my knee during high intensity running! Read more

My daughter experienced knee pain while playing volleyball. Her pain arose from jumping/landing and would persist throughout the next day while walking. Within a week of wearing this brace she was able to fully recover. Now she wears it under her knee pad during practices and games as a preventive measure. She loves that the brace provides support without being too bulky or ridged. It allows for quick direction changes and net approaches. They were true to the suggested size in guide. Her brace has taken a beating for over a month, and it's held up like a champ. No threading or tears. We hand wash and dry it weekly. It'll likely last throughout the season but if it doesn't, I'll buy another. Read more

Lousy fit my older versions are much better! Screwing up an excellent product isn’t the best way for customers to continue to buy from them, but they certainly managed. Read more
