DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve for Ligament Protection, Knee Instability, Sprains & Injuries - Open-Patella Design for Athletes and Active Users, Small

Full disclosure, I use these when Training BJJ, so there's more contact/friction than a lot of potential uses. The design is great, it keeps the knee really stable, allowing for a full range of movement, and it's comfortable. Problem appeared quickly which was that the stitching on the fabric which covers the metal hinge started to wear away. It finally got to the point where I felt I needed to return iot, but that was more than 30 days, so the company won't replace it. Worth noting that they said they wouldn't do that anyway for Amazon orders.

This brace provides me the stability needed before my upcoming surgery.My knee is unstable and I needed a brace as prescribed by my ortho office while waiting on surgery. This makes walking and going up and down steps much more pleasant as these activities were painful prior to placing the brace. Do not hesitate to get this item if you are on the fence. It is important to measure. If you are in between sizes and are a smaller individual size down.

I’m sure this would be a good product but it runs smaller than the shown sizes. Didn’t want to wait for another to come in the mail so we returned this one and went local.

I am a physical therapist. In Dec. 2019 while playing indoor volleyball, I had a severe bone bruise vs microfracture of my femur bone near the knee joint. When it was time to get back to beach volleyball and tennis and after a lengthy search for the most appropriate knee brace, I chose this one. I have been using it since May 2020 and it is doing the job of support, durable material, not bulky to interfere with my game and washable.

Great product, but sizes are iffy for me. I am a slight person and the S was super tight. The medium is a bit too loose. ugh. but it does seem like a quality product and comes right away.
