5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Patella/Quadricep Tendon Injuries
Something popped out of place in knee suddenly when squatting one day and sharp pain ensued. Needed something quick. I got this knowing nothing about my injury or anything in the knee region. It looked like it could alleviate pain so I gave it a try & purchased before I could get to a knee person /physical therapist.By coincidence this brace was perfect for what I had. Once I got to the appt to see a PT, I showed the brace and my PT told me it was a patella brace which was in line with my injury.How did it work? From day one it kept my patella in place and I notice right away I wasn’t repeatedly injuring it as much as it kept the area secure so that it could be allowed to heal. I’ve been wearing it for two weeks and even slept in it the first night. I believe it has sped up my healing. Now I don’t need it as much as the inflammation is down and range of motion is slowly returning. I purchased other braces such as a Mueller, 3M, etc, but those hurt and did not protect or keep my quadricep tendons in place like this did. Many pulled down the tendon which made use more painful. If you have patella or tendon issues around the knee this may work. My issue is probably not as bad as it could be. PT told me with massage therapy I could be healed pretty quickly. My injury was one that caused tendon inflammation and misplacement of the tendon which is still very painful! Find out what part of your knee is causing problems and if it’s the patella or quad tendons in this region I can vouch for this as a potentially good brace.Out of the pkg, It fits a little large for me but I was able to adjust as tight as I needed for a fit that worked perfectly. I like that it’s an open wrap around closure vs the ones you need to slide on. For me anything with slide on was painful & did not work. The Velcro is strong and I have no complaints on this product.UPD: October 2023Had another run in with the knee. This time not as bad but, Pulled out my brace and only needed it for a couple days. It restricts motion so you can stop injuring it without realizing thru daily activities. I really like this brace. It’s proven to be a life saver. Extra star added.

I've purchased 3 of these. One was given as a gift and is used frequently. One was lent to someone but never returned (I see her wearing it often.). I have the 3rd one and use it periodically as needed. It gives the proper support and is comfortable to wear.
4.0 out of 5 stars Better brace than others
It helps my knee to be supported - easy to put on (and off) - need to take it off after several hours for comfort
3.0 out of 5 stars Fits well
Just as item described. Not bulky wears great under regular pant ( leggings, tight jeans).
5.0 out of 5 stars Very stretchy and flexible
My old knee brace lost its ability to grip. The Velcro gave out so I shopped for a new one. I like this one in particular because it’s similar to my old one with the extra third Velcro in the knee pit area. Other knee brace has two Velcro under the knee and one above the knee leaving no firm support to the actual knee area. I needed the tightness due to how my broken leg healed crooked so I needed this extra grip. It works wonderfully supporting the knee cap. It’s light and airy allowing my leg to sweat and not build up heat and sweat underneath. The Velcro is strong and could stretch a little longer for extra firmness. It stays in place all day through out my activity. It’s for mild to moderate knee support. Not for the people who need extra support this brace is not for you.

Have had these for a number of months w/use. I bought both Bracoos knees braces - the one with and with out stabilizer support. I will post my opinion on both review sites since comparisons are important.The compression knee support is a neoprene type fabric w/a soft, padded ring that circles the patella. I am not sure it matters if it's silicone or some other padding. The brace with stabilizers is the same fabric. The stabilizers are a metals strip made up of tiny 'o' ringlets combined for flexibility and CAN be removed. *note: I removed the stabilizers to help with flexibility - found the brace with stabilizers to be too restrictive with them in (for my knee condition and use)For the smaller compression only, the width (up on thigh and down on shin) is shorter.The knee brace that includes stabilizers is wider both on thigh and shin.Both appear to have the same circumferencePlease note that I wear these braces OVER my walking tights. There are amazing products for over the skin but I walk and run with tights, and we have cold winters in midwest.PROS:-Both aid in supporting the knee cap and knee when walking or running.-The velcro holds the brace in place pretty well - see cons for more comments on slippage - however, w/ adjustment, it's been fine and totally worth having the brace on-Easy to use (PS the single strap should be pointed towards inside knee / medially when wrapping)CONS:-The velcro holds but I do find that the brace slips down a bit when walking and needs to be re-adjusted during walk / running (wrapping velcro strap tighter or pulling up)Both knee braces make you SWEAT - period! I have used them both in v cold temps (15-25° temps) - you don't notice when you are using them but when u take them off, definitely sweaty / wet. Not and issue for me.-As said above, stabilizers in one product were very restrictive for me w/my knee condition , so I removed, but the wide straps (both on upper and lower), especially on lower were still restrictive to walking and jumping (home workouts)-I felt the brace w stabilizers was still a little restrictive even w stabilizers removed - see comment below for company!!! I read reviews on velcro not holding after time. Just and FYI and not criticism: you must take care of velcro. After use, velcro the straps back onto the brace. NEVER wash w/ loose velcro as lint will adhere and longevity will be greatly reduced. I would even wash in a bag with no other laundry (front loader on hand wash) or just hand wash. Again, ALL barbed side veclcro should be fastened!For Company:I find the knee brace w/'stays' to be too wide and inhibits walks, jumping, bending, etc.The smaller knee brace w/ no additional support is not as wide, but I feel if you combined both features by adding the width/height on the top / thigh portion while keeping the bottom, shin portion the same, it might aid in anti-slippage, giving more freedom in movement and bending, but still keeping the brace from slipping down.-Please label your products better so that your consumer, ie the people who buy your product, can differentiate between products-
Purchased for right knee in 2016, now left knee in 2022
I like back country hiking and camping. Unfortunately the elevation changes wreck my knees. The first time I realized that my right knee gets messed up with this was after Day 1 of a three day backpacking trip in 2014. On the morning of day 2 my knee was in agonizing pain (I think it's called runners knee) and I had to turn back, taking a day and a half to cover what had taken an afternoon the day before. I thought I was done with backcountry hiking, which is something I love. However using this brace, in conjunction with trekking poles, I can do everything I've always been able to do and not get any pain.These types of knee braces are magic.Not only do they prevent pain, if you've been negligent and didn't put it on and get knee pain, then put the brace on, the pain will be instantly reduced by so much that it's completely tolerable to hike.Case in point, I just returned from 3 day/2 night Highland backpacking trail in Algonquin (Oct 2022). This is when I found out I don't have a bad knee, I have 2 bad knees. 36km total. 16km first day. Started the hike with the brace on my bad right knee. 11km in I start to feel the familiar type of pain associated with runners knee on my left knee. This is a conundrum. 12km and it was too late. My left knee was shot. I had no choice but to take my brace from my right knee and move it to the left knee. I know I can walk about 8km before I get pain in my right knee, and camp is only 4km away. All good. Make it to camp no problem. Left knee is sore-sore, but I can hike fine with the brace on.Next morning the brace has to go on my bad, left knee. With trepidation I set off. Sure enough, 4km into the hike I start to feel a tinge of the runners knee pain in my right knee. I stop immediately, take out a pair of cheap, white, ankle socks, cut a hole in the toes of one and pull it up over my right knee like a tensor bandage and roll up the other sock and slide it up under in a circle around my knee cap. Basically creating a temp brace. Works perfect. I hike the other 8km that day without pain, and the 8km the following morning without any issues at all. Because I stuck my homemade brace on at the first sign of pain, the pain never got worse. I had to go a bit slower when descending because of my left knee, but for the most part, with the braces on my bad knees simply weren't a factor.It's the day after that trip, and I just ordered a second brace for my other bad knee.I simply cannot say enough good things about these types of braces. Maybe once or twice a day, depending on just how much my knee is bending/elevation changes, I will have to stop and readjust the brace. Takes a minute... a minute well spent. On an ordinary, flat, non backcountry hike I doubt I'd have to adjust it at all during a full day of hiking.If you get this type of runners knee where it's agonizing and feels like your knee cap is pinching or grinding and causing excruciating pain, seriously, at the very least try these braces out. I only have my own experience to speak from, but obviously I'm a believer.

Knee support which works and is not excessively cumbersome
I purchased two of these. I bought one and then after seeing its quality/price and fit bought a second.MY NEED: With the onset of age and arthritis I felt I needed some medium support for hill walking.I did not want a heavy duty support with side supports so decided to try this support.THE QUALITY: The support is well made and the inside is a soft material finish. The stitching looks sound and after several wearings did not show any sign of coming loose. Washing instructions are provided on a small label.COMFORT & USE : The support was worn during warm weather but it was not excessively hot wearing the support. Neither was it uncomfortable but I was aware of the support - a bit like being aware that you are wearing clothes or carrying a rucksack. The support did do what it claimed and helped during hill walking. It did not make the arthritis go away - its not a magic wand and does not claim that - but it did make it more comfortable.In conclusion I was satisfied enough that these helped my hill walking and will wear them whenever I go hill walkingSIZE: I found that these were just large enough but only just to fit my knee. The support fitted my knee which has a circumference of around 43/44cm measured just above the knee when my leg and thigh were at right angles and 42/43cm when the leg was straight.VALUE: These are medium/light duty supports. But being medium/light duty means that for me the compromise between getting support, cost of the support, and comfort was justified. For me these are just about reasonable value for the price (£10) I paid and the cost benefit/quality was good enough for me to purchase a second. If this changed I would re-evaluate
