Review: Snug fit but very well constructed and effective for my needs. - I’ve been diagnosed with a torn meniscus, but am trying to hold off on having surgery. I am an avid pickleball player (3-4 sessions a week for a total of 9-11 hours of playing time) and at the onset of the problem I was lucky if I could play one session for a couple of hours a week. While I am not pain-free, this brace has enabled me to mostly get back to the level of activity I was at before the pain began. I had tried a number of drug store braces with minimal success and found the lifespan of those braces tended to be fairly limited before they started coming apart. This brace is built much sturdier and sure seems likely to last much longer than those less expensive braces. I like the Drytex as it is lighter and cooler than the neoprene of other braces I had used. The sizing does run on the small size. According to the sizing guide I was a clear Medium. The braces (I’m wearing one on each knee) are very, very snug. They do seem to stretch out a bit with use, but remain snug. Not uncomfortably snug, but enough so that it takes some work putting them on and especially taking them off when I’ve been sweating. Personally, I feel like the tightness of fit gives me an extra feeling of stability for the knee, but I’m sure some people would find the fit bothersome. If you think you would be so inclined then you may want to order a size larger than the sizing chart indicates. Review: Comfortable, quality product, having superior design, strength, and performance. - Quality product, which restored my mobility with comfortable support, and will now promote healing. The higher price (than other brands) is definitely justified, and is recommended if you are serious about your health. An exceptional product. A high-value purchase. Materials and construction look like product will last a long time. Product quickly slips on your leg, and is secured easily and simply. Received product in only 2 days, and it was 3 days early. Note that, with this slip-on tubular design, ordering the correct size is very important, since range of fit is limited for each size by the amount it can stretch. For older/weakened knees, recommend purchasing one for each knee to avoid injuries during high-risk activities. With this streamlined design, most pants will easily fit over the product. If already injured, don't leave home without it. ## Features - 54.7% Polyester, 18.7% Nylon, 9.6% Silicone, 6.7% Spandex, 5% Neoprene, 2.3% EVA, 2% TPU, 1% Rubber - Patented Drytex Material: Breathable, moisture-wicking material for cool and comfortable wear.

Doing great but increased lateral slipping (hopefully transient). Large was WAY too tight and XL has a lot of extra material. I got a "new in used box" for way cheap so I think I'll keep it, but for the fun amount it would be going back. I came in right down the middle of the L in both thigh and knee measurements and right in middle of XL for calf. The L was tight EVERYWHERE. In fact I only managed to get it on once, and only for a couple minutes. (im new to this type of brace and should have realized right away). Returned and got XL at 1/4 the price "like new in broken box". It was indeed brand new. It fits much better but there is extra material everywhere. Patella pocket lifts up when extended and the whole things looks like a diver in a wet suit 3 sizes too big. HOWEVER the hinges stay tight to my knee, lateral slipping has decreased greatly, and it's comfortable. I really feel like they need a size inbtween L and XL.
