Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support - Knee Brace for Pain Relief and Stabilization - Patellar Knee Pad for Enhanced Support - Targeted Compression - Lightweight & Durable

Granted, I've only worn this twice since I received it last week, but so far am very satisfied. My knee has been bothering me for 4 weeks and I was too stubborn to go to an orthopedist, get an MRI, etc., but I am self-diagnosed as having a partial medial meniscus tear or possibly arthritis (pain on the inside of my left knee that started while playing flag football). I have been healing slowly over the past few weeks, but my progress was stalled and I have not been able to jog or run (my life is all about sprinting and lateral movements involved in football)! When I received this brace, I did rehab on a stationary bike and felt comfortable really pushing it up to resistance 10, whereas I was stuck on 5 or 7 in the past week or 2. After the bike, I got on the treadmill for a light jog and was actually able to jog at 4.0 with no pain. The day before I had tried this, but was unable to even walk on the treadmill with no pain (WITHOUT the brace). The day after, I got on the field to play football and felt much more confident and mobile. I would say this is a very good investment. Be sure to measure your leg properly - I did and received the correct size (M). This is far superior to the cheap ACE brace you can get at a pharmacy (which I was wearing prior). I'd say the only caveat is that it fits really well on the skin (wearing shorts in an indoor gym), but can chafe the back of your knee a bit; and wearing it on the field (outdoors), I have to put it on over a pair of leggings, so this could stretch it out. Oh well, it can't be perfect. I still feel like over leggings it compressed my joint really well. Overall, excellent product and would recommend to all suffering from instability or joint pain or partial tear or old injury.

I’ve had knee issues for 30 years and have never felt comfortable running. However, I had a solid incentive to try and run a 5k recently and felt a knee sleeve would be helpful. Whilst training I tried using 5mm neoprene sleeves that I used for CrossFit. They helped with support but were hot and would always slip down. After a quick search I found these and decided to take a gamble, despite what felt like a fairly high price. I’m happy to report that after four 5k runs, I can comfortably say that these are the best knee sleeves I’ve ever worn and worth every penny. I love the support they provide, but also love how they stay in place and are also breathable so don’t get too hot. I am going to purchase another one for my right knee which is also grumbly from time to time, and I urge you to do the same if you have knee issues but want to continue playing sport.

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

Just wanted to start by stating I have several Bauerfeind products, and I think their applications along with design/construction meet or exceed the Consumers needs. I use their "Sport", and "Maleo" ankle braces. I have weak ankles ... it's a heredity thing, and after several motorcycle accidents I now have intermittent needs. But moving along, have fallen several times on my left knee. Whatever damage was done, I tend to swell along with some discomfort with extended use. So was looking for assistance in the short-term. Reviewed Bauerfeind products, and found out of several applications the "sports" version seems it may best suit my needs. Not sure about the other supports, but obtained my measurements and referenced the chart ... and ordered a medium size. I have a small leg for a man. My order came, unpacked from the box, slipped the brace on, and instant relief ! The compression was perfect in all the right places, comfortable, and not hot ... I went back with jeans over the brace. Wore for several hours, and probrably could have worn all day. My concern was wearing the brace, and sitting. Contacted Customer Service, and they strongly encouraged me not to wear if I would be sitting intermittently over the course of the day. The product is designed for active use, and all their products are designed with that thought in mind. So in closing, this support is lightweight, comfortable, not hot, compression is gentle, good mobility, and easy on-off. Other braces tend to roll down your leg, and won't stay in place ... but not this one. I gave the support a 4 star only because it's something you can wear all day, but not when sitting. You need to be active, otherwise you must remove so you don't have potential problems.

In my mid-50s, I'm still training jiu jitsu and muay Thai, which persistently causes swelling in my surgically repaired left knee (40% meniscus tear nine years ago). My knee is holding up fine, but it gets sore. I've now blown cash on nine different knee sleeves on Amazon, and the Bauerfeind is far and beyond the best. The cheaper ones, $15-$25 for a pair, are worthless IMHO: they are little more than a sock pulled over my knee. Of the $40-$65 variety, they generally provide decent knee support, although they tend to be 1) bulkier, and not ideal for training, playing sports, etc.; or 2) odd or less than ideal fit; or 3) both. The Bauerfeind is slightly bulkier than the ~$20 knee socks, but the fit is snug without being constricting, and it provides better support than anything else I've tried. Worth noting, too, jiu jitsu puts a lot more stress on a knee sleeve than, say, playing basketball or soccer (e.g., wrestling level changes, knee slice, scrambles, etc.). Personally, I don't find a very noticeable difference between this older version and the newer Bauerfeind; they are both excellent, durable, and easy to wash, so go with the color/pattern you prefer.

I've tried a couple cheaper brands of knee brace before, and this one blew them away in two major ways. First and foremost, efficacy. I practice martial arts (BJJ and karate) pretty regularly, and I've been developing a little bit of knee pain lately. Every other knee brace I've put on while working out before has _helped_, but not really fundamentally changed my situation. My knees would still hurt, just not as much. This thing, on the other hand, completely relieved my pain. I woke up with a little bit of soreness in my knee, put one of these braces on and then went to jiu jitsu and rolled for about an hour, and afterwards that knee felt _perfect_, like nothing had ever been wrong with it. I can't praise the results of this thing highly enough. The second big difference is comfort. The other braces I've tried have basically come in two flavors. One of them was a segmented contraption with three separate velcro attachments on the back, one below the knee, one behind it, and one above it. Which should theoretically be okay, but in practice the straps would often end up getting squished together and pinching some skin, and it wouldn't stay put very well. Then I tried one that was basically just a fabric tube you shove your leg through, which stayed in place better, but had one critical flaw: there was just as much material on the back of the knee as the front, which means when my leg bent it would bunch up behind the knee and chafe. That got extremely uncomfortable. The Bauerfeind is basically like the second type, with one crucial difference--it's actually woven with more material on the front of the knee than the back. It also has a lighter, more loosely knit fabric, which helps as well. The result of it all is that I had absolutely no discomfort after wearing it for an extended period of time. Of course the other factor is staying in place, which I'm afraid is something of a struggle with every knee brace. I had _much_ less trouble keeping this one in place than I did with any other brace, but I did still feel the need to fidget with it a couple of times in an hour. Although most of the time it turned out I really didn't need to adjust it at all, it's just that it naturally sits a little bit low on your kneecap because of the way the gel ring is contoured

Really good! Thank you so much for the bet product ever! This is my second time buying this product and I feel so good with that! I am Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Athlete and with this knee brace I feel so confident to train! I also have a knee surgery, but with this I feel comfortable !

Best knee sleeve I’ve ever tried. Feels very secure and stays in place 90% of the time. I play Futebol and do jujitsu and mma. Reliable for all of these contact sports. Someone else wrote to only pull them up or down by the plastic inserts-probably very good advice.

Gran compra!!! Muy recomendable!!

It will help protect your knee & alleviate any pain you may experience. It’s of very good quality & stay tight on your leg while exercising & doing physical workout.

This brace is the best I’ve used for my acl/mcl knee injury. It stays put and is the perfect support in all my activities. Don’t be afraid to order smaller than your measurements. I ordered a medium first based on my thigh measurement but it was too big. The small is perfect. The company was great to work with for the refund too.

Bonne taille, fait très bien son job, mais, perso, je les mets à l'envers, car le truc à l'intérieur irrite ma peau, dans l'autre sens non.

Producto 100% recomendable que para gente con problemas en la rodilla ya que apoya y da estabilidad.
