BraceAbility Open Patella/Open Back Neoprene Knee Sleeve | Water-Resistant Athletic Compression Knee Brace for Swimming, Wakeboarding, Scuba Diving, Surfing, Waterskiing and Other Sports (3XL)

I was supposed to get them before walking through universal studios. No biggie . I put them on ( ordered 2) oh my best ever!!! I have not felt this good in months. I never want to take them off. 2 torn meniscus. I’ll take them off to do resistance rehab . These are really good

the concept of this support was good. I liked the idea of one pull-up, and the dual openings. Unfortunately there are some problems. the length is good, and compression ok, but alteration was needed. essentially, the top/knew opening was fine, but the hole cut out of the back is useless. Much too small. I ended up cutting the brace and making the back hole larger. Otherwise it was not possible for me to keep the brace on without causing leg swelling issues. I was going to return it, but decided to cut up the sides to make it wearable. Still not great for sitting. Standing is better. This was a good try. But ultimately the design fails and it is up to the user to cut up the brace to allow blood circulation at the back of the knee. One star for the concept. If purchased, user should be prepared to "trim to size." This should have been in the advertising.

It is way smaller than the size the chart says to order.

Purchased this as I have a bad knee and was going on a surf trip where I didn’t need to wear a wet suit. Good if you’re swimming or wadding in the water but while surfing it definitely kept slipping. So 1 star taken off as it’s not good for surfing but still good for swimming.

This brace is exactly what my husband needs at this time! He has been having his knee drained & gell inserted every six months . He is being evaluated for an artificial knee but since using this brace he walks much easier with less pain & the swelling has been minimal! It does not slip down on him but he has only been wearing it for around a week. Being a RN, I am impressed with this brace & glad we found the right one to use!Update: After using the brace for a little over two weeks my husband developed a small irritation bordering on a “blister” along where the brace opens in the back of the knee. He has been wearing this brace every day during his waking hours so perhaps he has been wearing it too much. He will give it a break until the area heals and I will cover that area with a loose dressing before he puts it on in the mornings. He has gained strength in the knee and the swelling has gotten much better after wearing the brace for only two weeks! I still give this product a high recommendation!

It worked

Have looked for years for a replacement for the old Ace neoprene knee sleeves - this is about as close as you can get! Fit is true to size guide for the small, warm but not hot. They are a little longer than Ace though. I am going to order more in case they discontinue them like Ace did years ago. Finally happy knees! Have wasted a lot of money over the years on other sleeves.

I thought this brace would be perfect for me, as I have really large thighs. I measured according to the instructions provided and ordered the 2XL, but it seemed to have little to no support. I also didn't love the opening in the back, as I think that was the cause of some of the lack of support. The brace didn't stay in place. With that being said, maybe this brace runs big and a smaller size would work better. I'm not sure. If I order again, I won't order the one with the opening in the back.
