Physix Gear Knee Compression Sleeve for Men & Women - Best Compression Knee Brace for Walking, Running, Gym, Basketball, Weightlifting,Workout, Sports - Knee sleeves Support Compression & Stability

I run a long distance and have recently developed a severe "runner's knee" on both sides of my knees. I already have Osgood-Schlatter disease on my left knee which I also fractured (and has healed) last year, so realized that I'd need a good knee support if I run more than 10 miles. I have tried THREE (3) knee support braces/compression sleeves including "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" for that purpose, and wanted to list them for comparison. (1). Breg "FreeRunner". Formerly prescribed for the fracture and designed for an athlete/runner to help with their rehab. It did a great job staying in place during my 13-mile run. But it did NOT completely keep my knee pain-free as it normally would with stairs and biking. I started to feel the same discomfort --> disturbing pain around 10 miles. The brace is bulky so occasionally rubbed against the other thigh - which is a big NO-NO. (2). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace (this product): this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did an amazing job in protecting my right knee which was suffering runner's knee. It fits like your favorite compression knee-high sock with no limit in movement and is definitely a more comfortable wear than PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (#3). But the anti-slip grips of this knee sleeve at the top is tighter than PowerLix's and may feel a bit too tight. It is however never uncomfortable and the sleeve stayed on without rolling or chafing for an entire full marathon! I ran my first full marathon race in this sleeve with peace of mind and ease of knee :-) It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race. (3) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve: This is a BRACE that is in a form of a compression sleeve. It holds my kneecap in place, protects my Osgood-Schlatter bump (bone protrusion), prevents abnormal gait due to the uneven pulls by the thigh muscles, keeps the optimal temperature inside, allows FULL range of motion. I can flex my knee all the way. It is nice and tight but never uncomfortable. I wore this on my problem left knee and ran the full marathon race this past weekend. It stayed on without ever sliding/rolling down or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles and I did not have to worry or think about it. Most importantly - Absolutely NO PAIN during and post race. I was SO amazed. [OVERALL] Both "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" & "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace" (this product) did an amazing job and are highly recommended for long-distance runners. They stabilize the knee joint and prevent pain/inflammation by right support and compression but ut never restrict the movement or stop the blood flow - even for hours! *Sizing: I took the measurements 4 & 5 inches above the top of the BENT KNEE in a sitting position. They fell between 15.3 -15.7 inch. So according to the sizing chart provided by the company, I got a MEDIUM for "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" and a SMALL for "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". They fit perfectly. *Length: According to the product specification, "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" is a bit longer than "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". But due to the very firm fabric of PoweLix and very stretchy fabric of Physix, Physix knee sleeve ends up slightly taller than PoweLix when I wore them. *Color: Grey/Black for Physix looks stylish, and the grey circle at the kneecap helps adjust the sleeve in the right position. Grey/Black for PowerLix (this product) is almost entirely black (see photo - upper right). It doesn't look like the product photo on this webpage and thought I got a wrong product! Not sure about Blue which I didn't get. I hope they both last long!!! Thank you for reading my long review :-)

Excellent product. Fitment, quality, compression level and support are all spot-on. I wear it around the house and in bed for a chronic knee issue and it helps a LOT. 100% recommended!

I measured per instructions. Medium. It is tighter than expected, but it is new. It certainly gave me the support I need; I didn't feel like I wanted to scream ever time I took a step. . I like how it fits the back of my knee (doesn't bunch up) and how the area that covers my kneecap is larger than the UFlex I have been using. It is also longer than the UFlex, which I particularly like. I think it will be great when I get used to it.

I was hesitant when I ordered this sleeve because I have tried several different ones, they were all so uncomfortable. I love walking at an incline on my treadmill, but I struggle with arthritis and old knee injuries. I haven’t been able to walk much without a brace because my knee hurts so much after walking. This one is so comfortable and has been perfect, I ordered a small and am back to walking! I walk between 3-5 miles with a 4 percent incline at a 3.2 speed with any issues during or after my walk. I’m going to order a couple more. Once I find something I like that works for me I like to keep extra for travel and in between washings. I would recommend handwashing or using a laundry bag and washing on cold as well as air drying for extended use.

It's comfortable and supportive

My leg measures 18” so I ordered the medium. They are soft and comfortable. Unfortunately, the sizing is off and the sleeves fit somewhat loose, so anything above a brisk walk causes the sleeves to slip down and bunch up. There is very little compression and even less knee stabilization. They feel soft and keep my legs warm, but that’s really it.

I tried this knee sleeve for an undetermined cause pain at night. The sleeve, so far, has worked. It seems to render a needed stability to my knee.

Excellent knee sleeve for compression of a sore knee. This sleeve does not slip, roll, or crease when bending the knee. I followed the size guide and for a perfect fit. I highly recommend. I wore it all day and was not aware it was even on. It makes my knee pain practically nonexistent.

I bought the knee support for a knee requiring help after surgery. I found it so comfortable and supportive I have bought another for my other knee which requires help as I get my fitness back when walking. Hills and stairs in particular have become much easier to navigate. It is very comfortable and does not rub or roll down. The delivery was fast. I would have no problem in recommending this product/company to others

Just tried... comfortable. Hopefully helps to reduce pain & swelling 👍

UPDATE 14th October 2019 I have been using this daily for about a week and find it far more comfortable than the more expensive one I mention in my review. I have therefore purchased another identical one as a spare. I purchased this, as it was £5 less expensive than a similar product that I got via Amazon a short while ago. This knee support arrived promptly, adequately packaged with clear instructions, it appears to be very well designed and manufactured After careful measurement I ordered a medium size as my leg measurement 4 inches above my thigh was just over 16 inches. As with my other knee support, Initially it felt too tight, especially on my upper leg and I thought I should have got the next size up, but as I got more used to wearing it it felt more comfortable. I wore it for eight hours before going to bed and think it really helped my arthritic right knee and hope I can get used to the slight discomfort due to tightness. I have it on now and it feels OK, but still a bit tight. I will wear it every day for the next week or so before coming back and updating this review.

Es una rodillera muy buena. Aprieta de forma uniforme y, lo mejor de todo: las bandas de silicona hacen que no se mueva del sitio. La recomiendo.

Ottimo prodotto, le misure corrispondono perfettamente. Buon supporto al ginocchio, riesco a portarla tutto il giorno senza che si muova minimamente. Molto soddisfatto. La ricomprerei
