CAMBIVO Knee Brace for Men & Women, 2 Pack Knee Compression Sleeve for Knee Pain Relief, Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers & Patella Pad for Meniscus Tear, Gym Running Working Out（Medium, STS-Black）

I am an aging ex tennis player that has recently picked the sport up again recreationally as well as pickleball. Maybe getting back into it a little too fast has caused some issues physically, including my knees (feet & elbow too ha).After a month or so of playing 3/4 times a week I felt a slight pop then a slight crunch underneath the lower part of my left knee cap. Might be bone fragments floating or could just be bone on bone rubbing from the patella moving which happens as joints age. I'm not one to go to doctors unless absolutely necessary and didn't want to for this as I suspected what the issue was.Then I also have some significant swelling in my right knee as well. I initially purchased a knee band type brace which worked well to keep the knee cap in place, but felt I needed a bit more support.This brace is comfortable to wear and does provide support without being bulky and inhibiting movement. It does have an area for the knee cap so it is easy to center.As for size, I measured per the instructions and I was at about 18 inches. This is on the low end of large and high end of medium. I opted for the large as the range from the medium was 14 to 18 inches and based on other reviews I felt it would be too tight.The brace doesn't really slip down, I maybe had to adjust it twice or so during 90 minutes of playing pickleball.Says hand wash only -- I washed it in a front loading washer on gentle and it looked fine. I did air dry it though.Overall for the money a good value. It appears well made and I expect it to last for some time. Comfortable to wear and it provides good support without adding bulk.

Go with the size chart. I have an injury to one leg as a result one measures 17 and the other 18. Using the chart I ordered medium. They fit perfectly and provide excellent support. This is the first brace of any sort I have ordered that actually fit as advertised. I think they are excellent at any price but at this price they are exceptional.

You should like the quality. It is strong material. It stretches in all directions so compression is even all over with lots of compression/support. I like the patella gel pad. It stabilizes the patella the way I hoped it would. Don't know about the side bars but they are not restrictive in any way and may provide additional support. I bought the correct size and tested my size by re-measuring for fit after it was on and the 5" point came to the center of top band. I do find these might run small, in my opinion. My largest legs is 20.25 and my Large supports are suppose to handle 18.1" to 22". I cant imagine this being comfortable at 22" It already cramps my semitendinosus part of the hamstring that runs down the center back of thigh and turn inward when it gets a couple inches toward the knee. You can feel it as the muscle thins into tendon and stick out more that any other part of the hamstring when standing up straight with a little flex. I was going to size up but I will only be using these a half hour to an hour at a time and plan to lose more fat than gain in muscle as far as inches. The compression is impressive while not blocking blood flow. These are my first compression supports but in my opinion these run small since my measurements are at the low end of the Larges fit and is uncomfortable (continuous cramping feeling) on the hamstring. Minus 1 star for sizing in my opinion.

Good support and holds up well after washing.

My son uses these during football practice and games. He was constantly spraining his knees and these helped stabilize things and prevent injury. Zero problems with his knees when wearing these consistently when playing sports. He actually wears them during basketball too! We love these so much that when he outgrew the small, we purchased the medium! Great product! My only negative note is that you have to hand wash and hang to dry, which can be tough to do daily in time for practice/games.

This brace is very tight. It fits, but I can't wear it for too long. When I take it off, my knee hurts more than when I first put it on.

I ordered a pair of extra large braces and even though they fit, I knew by the end of the day, they would be too tight. I contacted customer service and within two hours they had sent me a new pair one size up. The person on the other end was absolutely marvelous and helpful, and I have never in my 62 years of life. I’ve had such an amazing customer service representative and service. I’m wearing my new ones now which are a perfect fit feel amazing and highly recommend owning a pair. Chances are I will order a second pair as a spare. my suggestion would be if you measure correctly and you’re too close to the end number, order a size up (for example mine was 25 inches around my thigh so I ordered an extra large, which was way too tight throughout the day. I should have ordered the extra extra large.)

The support bars are made of plastic, the glue not stitches holding one in came undone, and one broke with in a week of constant use. However they fit like a dream and support some without the bars, the gel knee pad is also a nice touch that helps a lot of your bending down alot. I have to pull them up occasionally but not too often and they don't rub my legs raw like some do. If it weren't for the support bars being plastic ide give it 5stars
