Bodyprox Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers & Patella Gel Pads for Knee Support

It's not often that I get to write a really great review. Through many knee braces with ice packs in the past that never fit right to a couple I recently tried for a different issue, this one fit the best for my knee. I got the One Size - the strap around my thigh fit well and the strap around my calf fit without gaps or bunching, which is huge. The two other straps which you place in an X are fantastic; they support each side of the knee which is exactly what I was looking for. After several trials to see what worked best, I put the brace on standing up, over my pants, first the thigh strap then the calf, then take the other straps one at a time diagonally across the knee and strap to the calf as opposed to up towards the thigh.The velcro can be aggressive but not overly so; I think it's perfect and will last a long time. The quality of the brace seems fine, I don't see any issues in the sewing or otherwise. I do not know how it would be against skin as far as comfort but the fabric feels soft enough. The gel around the knee is good, the hole is a little smaller maybe than others but I was able to put my knee on the ground with it without discomfort. I did try it on over thermals with loose straight pants on top and it was almost unnoticeable.I had no slippage, I had full support of my knee side to side, it felt comfortable to wear even over my loose pants, and I felt safer wearing it while doing something physical that involved turning my body at times. Hands down the best knee support I've ever tried and for the price, unbeatable.I would recommend this to anybody who is having difficulty finding a good fit for the thigh and the calf, as so many others fail to do, and also for the excellent support it provides.

Having several rounds of shots for my knees I began wearing these (heavier) braces during golf and yard work.My knee pain and swelling is down considerably and no shots for over a year.I think these have helped realign my knees while providing needed support.

This is a nice knee brace. It is comfortable to wear to work under your pants. I don't think it is stable enough for my needs, however. The attribute that makes it OK to wear for 8 hours at work, doesn't provide enough stability for my knee during sports. I am talking about the elastic bands that cross around behind the knee.Therefore, if the velcro bands were less elastic (stretchy) the knee brace would have provided enough stability for sports. But, that is a trade off... If the bands aren't elastic, then you can't wear it for a 9 hour stretch of time. Do you see what I am saying?I think that the quality is really good. It is made of very good quality materials. The Velcro is secure. It just didn't fit my needs as well as I had hoped.

This knee brace is wonderful! It is the most comfortable I have tried, and I love the straps for extra support around the bottom of the kneecap. I ended up buying extras so I can have one at work to walk at lunchtime and at home for walking the dogs.

The price was nice and it was delivered few hours later in the morning. However, I am not sure that I could wear it for a long period of time. I am going to go skiing next week, but last week one on y ski trip, I fell and, being intermediate/advanced skier, the settings for ski disattach was for a higher level.As last week went by, I noticed that my knee is hurting more. So I was shopping for a brace that I could wear for 6 hours straight on the slopes next week. When I got this brace this morning, I put it on and been wearing it for 2 and 1/2 hours, and I can honestly say that this bulkiness in the back is very uncomfortable, and it's squishes my skin every time I bend my knee or walk. I took it off, and I found a little blister 😕. I thought it was a thin I'm after of fabric that I had underneath to avoid 'smelling it up' with menthol medication, but it wasn't. No matter how I would wrap it, I still get this feeling that the opening in the back is just not enough, even for a person like I am: 4'11'' 90lbI will keep shopping for more options.

They don't look like they will get the job done but I had the confidence to climb a ladder and haul furniture from 2nd floor. We'll see how they hold up this summer but for now I'm pretty pleased. Bone on bone both knees.

Go by their size chart and don't do like I did and order bigger ones because I thought I needed XL-large ones. If the size chart shows a certain size say like 20 to 23 for large and 24 to 26 for XL-large order the one the same size as your thigh after you measure it. They are very accurate on measurements.

I’ve had this brace on for half a year or better and it’s a godsend. I have a meniscus tear in my left knee and if it weren’t for this brace I’d probably have to get surgery when I’m not ready.This brace has Velcro fastening, which makes putting it on a breeze.If you have any problems with getting around this brace is for you!
