Review on McDavid Open Patella Knee Brace, Compression Knee Sleeve by Nick Shirodkar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for mild knee pain, order a size up if you measure on the border

My knee circumference measures right at the upper cutoff for size L, so I ordered the large thinking that it might wear in a little bit and get looser. But boy oh boy, it was too tight to be even a little bit comfortable. So I exchanged it (quite easily!) for an XL, and I have worn it 8 times on my treadmill and I am so pleased! I was worried that it would become too large with wear, but so far that is not the case. I will update my review if that ever happens! But so far it has really helped my mild left knee pain. My knee just feels what I would describe as a bit wonky when I'm on the treadmill (less so with jogging, interestingly), and not bad enough to see a doctor yet.

Pros
  • While it does provide support for my knee, it doesn't quite fit well enough.
Cons
  • Not effective for severe knee injuries
