TechWare Pro Knee Brace Support - Knee Braces for Knee Pain. Relieves ACL, LCL, MCL, Meniscus Tear, Arthritis, Tendonitis Pain. Dual Stabilizers Non Slip Neoprene. Adjustable Bi-Directional Straps -5 Sizes

I love that this brace has only 3 simple straps that make support easy, but secure. The length is not bulky, and is so quick to put on or take off. Supportive enough for me to use without a cane, and comfortable to wear for elongated periods of time. I am so happy with this brace, I intend to purchase a few more. Seemingly well-made, and hopefully, long-lasting. I bought the black (has touches of bright red). Nice!

I've decided to give the TechWare Pro Knee Brace size XXL a five-star review only because I don't have any other brace to compare this one to. I have been having pain and weakness in my knee off and on for the better part of four years. I have tried countless OTC creams and medicines. Icy Hot with Lidocaine pain relieving cream combined with 4 Ibuprofen would last the longest, about two-three hours, before my knees would stiffen up again. I even purchased KT Tape. This product was somewhat helpful, but not quite good enough. I had been wanting to purchase a brace to see if it would help. But, it's almost impossible to find one in my size. I tried using "Ace Bandages" to wrap my knee. But, as soon as I would start to walk, the bandage would roll down no matter how I wrapped it my knee. Or, I would wrap too tight and the pain from the pressure would be worse than my knee pain. Fast forward to about two weeks ago when I found this product. I measured my lower thigh and knee. And, found the the XXL would be the right fit...I hoped. The first day I wore this brace, it was tight! But, it held my knee in a more stable position. I actually was able to get out of the car (putting all my weight on my bad knee) with a lot less effort than the day before! As I walked, I could feel the brace holding my knee in place, which was what it should be doing on its own instead of arching outward. After three or four days of wearing the knee brace (6:00am-6:00pm) I felt like I could get up from a seated position a bit faster with less pain! Not totally pain free, just better than before. And, it began to occur to me that my excruciating ankle pain wasn't actually killing me. I just hurt a little. I guess that when you walk improperly for a long time, other things start hurt and become weak because you'r whole body is out of balance. Who knew? And, the other thing I found out was that my other knee was sore. I only noticed it because I wasn't hyper focused on my "bad knee" any more! I think there is a second TechWare Pro Knee Brace purchase in my future.... As far as the stiffness of the brace when I first put it on, that lessened as I wore the brace more and more. It's kind of like breaking in a new pair of shoes. The brace fabric relaxed a bit, which made it fit much better. The velcro is super strong, too! So, there is no "peeling up" of the support bands. Also, there is a rubber grip strip on the top and bottom of the inside of the brace that keeps it from slipping. After wearing the brace all day, sitting different positions, and walking around, I find that the brace does move slightly after about 4 hours. But, you have to take into consideration how much your muscles flex when you move around and if you are perspiring, etc. Those factors would affect any kind of support you were wearing. And, It only takes a quick readjustment to get it back into place. So, for now, the brace has exceeded my expectations. Hopefully, over time, my knees, ankles, and back will heal so I can function normally with no pain.

Super easy to put on. Comfortable and adjustable. Provide great support

Where do I begin?Very well constructed. It's made from quality materials and the attention to detail with regard to its features is excellent.It works. My kneecap doesn't shift around when I walk (use it for exercise walks and dog walking)...that occasional "niggle" of pain is gone.It's comfortable. When walking, I forget there's anything there (except for the absence of pain).The Velcro tabs don't stick out and look lumpy under my jeans. This was an unexpected bonus.It's easy to put on...my other adjustable ones always seemed to need more fiddling with to get just right.It doesn't bunch up while I'm walking...like some of the other non-adjustable ones used to do.It fits just right...it doesn't mind that my upper knee area is a bit...ahem...more developed than it should be. Ahhh....the fit....feels good.I'm glad a bought a back-up for when I wash it and it needs to dry before wearing again. I'd hate to have to substitute one of the old ones for those days.UPDATE: Three months later (wearing once a day for a 4 mile walk), the Velcro no longer sticks to the fuzzy fabric. No matter how much I bend my knee before affixing, it pulls apart the minute I start to walk (and, no, I don't walk funny). Why can't this manufacturer use Velcro for both sides of the attachment? Fuzzy stuff just doesn't hold up. [Iron-on Velcro won't hold on the fuzzy and it's too hard for me to get a needle through...I was so hoping I could fix this.]My search continues...I won't bother buying another one of these at this price.UPDATE 2 (same day as update 1): I added in one of the stars I'd deducted. TechWare contacted me without my asking...and offered a replacement for the support I'd just trashed and potentially a replacement for the second support I'd purchased at the same time as that one...which I just started using this morning and so can't evaluate it. Great customer service deserves a star of its own. Thanks, Ted!UPDATE 3: The second one I'd bought is not showing any signs of Velcro inadequacy. I'm thinking I just got a funky one the first time. Thanks, again, Ted!!!UPDATE 4: All of mine started showing signs of weak Velcro....definitely not a heavy duty version of the stuff. BUT If you otherwise like this one as much as I do, get yourself some Handy Bands (Amor Imports) to secure the knee brace straps. They work wonderfully and will extend the life of your knee brace.

This is my second review of this product. I misplaced the first one I purchased, so I bought again and I bought the same size, a size Large. I'm now purchasing a third one, because I had surgery the end of January 2023 and with the swelling in my leg and around my knee, the middle strap is just barely making it around to attach to the velcro. I need it for a flight, to contain the swelling, as recommended by my physiotherapist. So, I decided for comfort sake, I'll purchase an X-Large and that should be good while my knee is still swollen. I do find that my knee feels more stable wearing this when I'm walking. I love that it is adjustable. I find it is best against the skin, as it stays in place better. Over fabric, especially a slick fabric, it tends to slide down. It's a great brace, I'd highly recommend it.

Buena calidad

Worth it

2nd purchase. No complains.

Brace fits well, is very comfortable and provides a good deal of stability.The only problem is the fabric on the brace wears out quickly to the point the Velcro doesn’t adhere.
