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've been using the Physix Gear Knee Compression Sleeve for years now, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance! It provides excellent support and helps reduce knee pain, whether I'm working out, running, or just going about my day. The compression is just right . snug without being uncomfortable and it offers great stability without restricting movement.The material is durable and breathable, and the sleeve holds up perfectly even after frequent use and washing. It's made a noticeable difference in my overall knee health and comfort, and I’ve recommended it to several friends and family members. If you're looking for reliable knee support, this is the sleeve to get. Highly recommend!

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 :-)

Secure and not heavy

I have an issue with my knee hurting when hiking/walking down an incline. Especially when the terrain is uneven when hiking. I have had this for years and have used a jumpers knee strap, which didn't always work. I decided to try this compression sleeve and be proactive wearing before I start hiking. So far after two hikes around 2 miles up and down hill with uneven ground, my knee has had no pain! Quality of the material is good. I have seen some comments that the silicone non slip strip on the top and bottom have irritated peoples skin. So far I have not had any issues. I went with a large size, not sure how to describe my leg size. I am 5'5" 168 lbs. The large size compresses but doesn't cut circulation, at least for me. I have worn it for close to 3 hours at a time with no blood flow restriction. I would recommend if you are trying to find something to replace a jumpers knee strap or have issues with patella tendonitis, which I think is related to my pain.

I really like them for the softness but maybe rethink making all of them with the two rubber rings on the inside.I discovered that I am allergic to that rubber it left a print on my thigh and the rash came the day..I won’t be able to wear them unless I sew a piece of cloth around the whole top portion.

This is my fourth knee brace to try and it’s the winner. It’s super comfortable to wear all day. True to size. I have lots of knee inflammation and a bulging vein and it makes everything less painful.

I was looking for a light stabilizer for my knee and this fits the bill-I had a heavier one that just annoyed me so this compression sleeve is light feeling but keeps my knee stable for long walks. I can feel the differing amounts of compression around the knee joint so I’m happy.

Work really well. I wore them during my workout which included rowing, dumbbell exercises and running on treadmill. Very comfortable and provided the right level of support and compression. I would recommend to others
