Review on πŸ‹οΈ Gel Force Knee Sleeve by Pro-Tec Athletics - X-Large by Mike Morris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good solution for my sore knees

I bought this brace to wear at night because I was in excruciating pain from a torn meniscus in my left knee. I needed something with lateral support to stabilize the joint against the weight of my right leg when lying on my side at night. I also wanted a material that would not only make my knee sweat like my neoprene bandage. The fully articulated knee pad is too uncomfortable to wear at night. I tried using an Ace brand brace with side supports but found it too short and the side supports digging into my calf causing numbness and bruising. I had a "Pro-Tec Athletics Gel Force Knee Sleeve" that I'm only wearing for a couple of nights, but it seems to be the solution to my needs without paying 3-4 times the price. or more for built-in or custom support. It's long enough, the corset doesn't cut my calf, the material is breathable so my feet don't sweat excessively, it gives my knee enough support at night and is comfortable enough for me to sleep through the night. I don't use this for daytime support so can't say how it will be for exercise support. I'm buying another one for my right knee which has had reconstructive surgery as I've found it needs support even at night.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
