LP 272Z Leg Compression Sleeve for Knee, Thigh, and Calf Support - For Men, Women, and Youth - Ideal for Running, Arthritis, Basketball, Daily activities (Black, 1pcs)

Comfy and works well

My Xtra large was way too small. Make sure you order large enough.

I bought this for my girlfriend who has a bad ankle and knee from a motorcycle accident years ago and it sure did help her she loves I can't praise it enough

Offers good level of compression without feeling overly constrictive. I wear it on long hikes and find it helpful with contours to conform to leg anatomy and muscles and extra give on knee (picture after one wear showing loser at top and tighter on bottom). Was the right length for my 5’7” frame (slightly long torso) from ankle to mid-way on thigh. Other cheaper pairs cut off at the top of my inner thigh and made like straight uniform sleeves which i find very uncomfortable. Deducted one star for $30 price for one sleeve which I think is on expensive side—made in Taiwan.

Ordered a small got sent an XXL. Ordered another small and got sent a L. Will no longer be ordering from this brand.

Use for basketball. Keeps the knee warm and compressed

I wore this full leg compression sleeve for a 5K, aiming to support a recovering meniscus tear and show up like a legitimate contender—not just someone there for the free bananas. Unfortunately, the sleeve had other ideas. Before I even made it out of the warm-up area, the top started rolling down like it was tapping out early. By the time I reached the starting line, it had bunched up just above my knee and seemed perfectly content pretending it was never meant to cover my thigh in the first place. That said, once it settled into its new job as an oversized knee brace, the compression was actually fantastic. Supportive, snug, and comfortable—but only in that one area. I didn’t bother adjusting it mid-race. I had miles to run and podiums to chase, not time to babysit a rebellious piece of gear. Bottom line: If you only need knee support, this sleeve might accidentally do the trick. But if you're expecting full-leg compression that stays put when it matters most, this one may come up short—literally.

This sleeve works great - it does go from mid thigh to mid calf, and it is very tight - with plenty of rubber strips at the top and bottom to prevent it from slipping down. My knee landed right in the spot where the material is molded to accept the patella, and it felt good in the limited testing I did. I'm looking to use this thing on some long hikes where my loose right knee gets wobbly on the way down, and based on how it was working just walking around my house, it really seems like it's going to help.
