Review on 🀲 Arthritis Tendinitis Support with Breathable Adjustable Design by Pete Norris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product, comfortable and well made

These wrist braces fit well and are very comfortable. If there's one thing that needs improvement, it's the smallest strap (closest to the fingers). It's quite long, but the velcro that holds it in place is very narrow. For a person with a small wrist, it leaves a couple of inches free. I don't want to cut the strap so I solved this problem by attaching it at a downward angle and tucking the loose end into the center strap. The two wide shoulder straps fit well and hold securely all day. However, the strap at the bottom (farthest from your fingers) also dangles a bit, but not enough to get in the way or "hook" to be pulled out. It would be nice if there were more velcro straps to keep them in place. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. While I like black because it doesn't show sweat or dirt from everyday wear, black draws more attention than if it were beige or nude. I just washed it for the first time but I didn't hand wash it. Instead, I removed the metal support from its case (as recommended) and then reattached the velcro straps and tossed it in a mesh laundry bag. Washed on a gentle cycle with other items at a light load. It came out clean and like new. I let it air dry indoors and the next morning it was dry. It was a bit awkward to use with my mouse when I first started using it, but now that I've been using it for a few weeks we've adjusted. However, I occasionally take the brace off for short periods, especially when using a mouse with design software and need more control for smaller, more complex movements. This may be mainly because my hand is small and the metal support under my wrist/palm adds a bit of "bulk" so I can't hold the mouse as close as I'm used to.
