Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support - Knee Brace for Pain Relief and Stabilization - Patellar Knee Pad for Enhanced Support - Targeted Compression - Lightweight & Durable

I got this brace about a month ago. I've had knee problems most of my life. I've gone thru more braces than I would like to admit. The past few years I've settled in with bauerfeind and zamst being the main brands for my braces. I own 2 of the genutrain knee braces. The genutrain was the best knee brace I had ever used. I've never had surgery on my knee so mine is a stability issue with a floating knee cap. The genutrain did a great job for what I needed... Kept me stable and kept my knee cap where it should be. Enter this sport brace. Love it. I wish the sizing was a little more like the genutrain but I'm still good with it. It fits more snug than the genutrain but it's still Uber comfy. I wore it for a round of golf and forgot it had it on. That says something. I'm debating on getting another one. Owning 2 genutrains is what's Making me hesitate. Those are still good. Just this might be better for sports and being active. Update: I wore this brace on a bike ride today and then left it on while I ran around town. This was the longest I had the brace on... About 7 hours. By the time I got home and got it off, something was feeling weird on my skin. Turns out it was this stickier stuff that's on the inside of the brace. It's there to help keep the brace from slipping but at this time, I'd have to say that I don't like that material. My skin is red and irritated from it. It's like it gripped and stretched my skin. I think women who wear strapless bras might know what I'm talking about. It's the same stuff I've seen on my wife's strapless bras. She complains about it too. When taking it off its literally like peeling it off Ur skin. I won't modify my rating just yet. But as it stands, this basically told me not to order another just yet. Sure it doesn't slip but I'm not too fond of the reaction I'm having to the sticky stuff.

the material is soft and stretchy and provides good support for my knee during high intensity running!

I purchase a pair of these back in May 2025. They are great. I'm a plumber and wear them for support and knee protection when kneeling. I do a lot of kneeling in my trade, like 5 days a week doing plumbing service. They are still in great condition. I would not hesitate buying another pair when these are worn out.

Just wanted to start out with the fact that Bauerfeind products are excellent and I have had great success with the use of their knee products (well worth the money in my opinion/experience and I recommend their products). I use their knee products to help my knees get through my college volleyball seasons and have found that they have helped me play through my knee problems (IT Bands and jumper’s knees). I have now used both the Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support product and the Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Support and want to compare the two products as both of these products are excellent, but definitely have some slight differences. 1) Size- In my experience the GenuTrain ran closer to the “true” measurements than did the Sports. The Sports Knee Support ran a little smaller than the listed measurements but still fit, just a bit of a squeeze to get them on, while the GenuTrain was pretty much spot on with their sizing. GenuTrain has sizes 0-9 while the Sport has XS-XXL, so this might allow for the closer ranges for the sizes. 2) Knit/Fabric The main difference between the two products is that the GenuTrain has a thicker knit than compared to the Sport product. The GenuTrain’s knit is a lot closer together and smaller than the Sports but this means that there is a trade off between the two. The GenuTrain keeps more heat on the knee (which I like and helps my knees when playing). The Sport keeps a little cooler due to the larger spacing of the knit allowing for some heat (and moister to escape). The other trade off is durability, thankfully I haven’t had any problems with my products but I have a friend/ teammate (who has used both products as well) that had the Sport start to rip when they didn’t have any issues with the GenuTrain (may be because the knit was larger on the Sport, or maybe just unlucky). 3) Donning Aid Personally the Donning Aid (end of the metal supports in the brace to help pull on) on the GenuTrain is more useful than the Sport. The GenuTrain has a built in loop which I find a little easier to grab and pull on than the tab type of pull built in on the Sport. 4) Weight The Sport has a lighter weight but nothing to the point that I would make my decision between the two based on the weight, both products are not heavy enough to worry about them impacting movement. 5) Ventilation The Sport defiantly has more of a breathable material (See Knit section) than the GenuTrain and has some slits in the back of the knee cap built in. Personally the heat of the GenuTrain doesn’t bother me (and I feel that heat helps my knees). Personally I would go with the GenuTrain over the Sport because of the Knit (seems more durable than the Sport). Also the price of the GenuTrain (as of now) is $15 cheaper than the Sport. The Donning Aid of the GenuTrain is also a plus over the Sport’s.

Really good! Thank you so much for the bet product ever! This is my second time buying this product and I feel so good with that! I am Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Athlete and with this knee brace I feel so confident to train! I also have a knee surgery, but with this I feel comfortable !

Favorite kneepad. I use it for wrestling. Wish it wasn’t so expensive but out of all of these type of kneepads these seem to hold there tightness and last the longest for me

Background: I am a 40 something Military Veteran and distance runner who has spent a lifetime abusing my knees and ankles. After I turned 40 I began to suffer increasingly from chronic knee pain. In early March, the day following a distance run, I experienced knee pain like I had not experienced in the Army or during long distance running events. I ordered the Bauerfiend Knee Support through Amazon and it arrived on the promised delivery date. Full disclosure: I already had a robust collection of knee braces, wraps, sleeves, gels, potions etc. and frankly wasn’t expecting much different from the Bauerfeind support than what I had experienced with other items. On the day the product arrived I had struggled to even get into the car to drive home. On the way, I visited the doctor who advised me that my knee was swelling and to look into a quality compression wrap. Fortunately, one was waiting for me at home. The sizing is legit. I followed the sizing instruction on the order form and found that the fit was quite comfortable right out of the box. Do take a moment to carefully read the sizing directions as the measurements are to be taken from the center of the knee cap. Make sure the knee ring is properly aligned over the center of the kneecap as well. The support far and away exceeded the comfort of my collection of braces and sleeves. Despite the fact that the sleeve provides constant compression, the fiber construction was not overly constrictive and was not irritating or itchy. This is not one of those knee supports that is made of that sweat-inducing wetsuit-like material. I think this is a crucial difference. The best support in the world doesn't help me if I cannot wear it for extended periods of time. Also, the sleeve fits under normal clothing, even dress slacks, so I was able to wear it all day long without looking like corporate robo cop. I have had the product for several weeks now and I am very happy with it. I am currently undergoing physical therapy and recovery for the knee and the support provides a good deal of stabiity and comfort on the road to recovery.

They are great knee braces and helps easing my osteoarthritis knees while running but the grip tapes inside are slowly coming off.
