## Description

McDavid Knee Brace Support with Side Stays & Compression. Knee Sleeve Cross Straps for Knee Stability, Patellar Tendon Support, Tendonitis, Arthritis Pain Relief, Recovery.

Review: Pretty good brace! - As braces go, this ones pretty danged good. I had surgery on a meniscus tear 35 years ago and was recently on a vacation that involved a lot of stairs. Needless to say, my knee was not happy. The last brace I got from the doctor was too small and smelled terrible, so I decided to try my luck here. I was worried because the sizing is based on joint size, not leg circumference, and, because I'm overweight, I tend to have issues with the thigh part being too tight. For reference, my joint measures 16.5" and 4" above my knee is about 22". I'm happy to say that, although the brace is a bit snug, it's not painful. It fits pretty well, and the pain is gone. I have now ordered the XXL size so that I have something a bit more comfortable to wear around the house, but this XL is going to be great for walks. I am not at all disappointed. I also love the extra support the criss cross straps above and below the knee cap give. My knee cap is the most painful, and with this thing on, it's finally quiet.
Review: Your knees will feel em-braced in support, be careful if you're close to a larger size. - I've been using the brace a few weeks at this point. A little back story, I tore my ACL 7 years ago, and had it replaced less than a year ago. So I just got released back to normal activity a few months ago and am now back doing martial arts 2-3 days a week. I was looking for something to provide a little protection and piece of mind. Overall it seems to do a good job for a neoprene brace. It's a bit longer than some of the other braces I've had in the past, and I like that about this one. The crossing elastic does a good job providing compression in the right areas. The images don't show it well but the 4 crossing straps are velcro-ed under the top and bottom securing strap. This does seem to be a good thing as it can help control how you want the compression just above and below the knee. When wearing this I hardly notice it's there. Sure, it's a little bit of bulk, but it doesn't bulge, the velcro so far seems to be the best I've seen on a brace and hasn't caught or poked once. It stays put through all sorts of activities. Even after a solid workout it still feels sturdy and ready for another round. The one downside I can say might the sizing, I ordered the large, measured my knee and even my calf to make sure it wouldn't get hung up. I ended up with 16 for the whole area I thought the brace would cover. It fits but is definitely providing compression. Is it too much, I can't really say. I can get the brace on ok most days with a quick tug, but getting it off can be difficult. Had my knee been any larger I would definitely need the XL. I'm considering purchasing a second one for the other knee and I may get the XL instead and compare the two before deciding what to do. I'm sort of hoping the neoprene will wear in a little, but so far it's still going strong, and seems very sturdy. Also, this is still a neoprene brace, it probably won't protect you from a hard hit or twist, but hopefully it'll help with the everyday stuff. The side supports don't seem to really add much bulk, but they don't seem to add much support either. I've had others with the flexible supports and they seemed to at least be more noticeable how they added to the knee. Though, it's difficult to tell. As far as a neoprene knee brace this has been the best one I've tried so far (7-8). This kind of brace might be overboard for someone who hasn't had any kind of knee issues, or someone doing lighter sports. Though if you've had issues, or are worried about issues, this might be a good brace for you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many inches arounch the knee is thexxl?**
A: Hello,

Based on our sizing chart for this product listed on the main Amazon product page (top left-hand corner of the screen; second image down)  the max tolerance for our 2XL size brace is going to be a 22 inch knee circumference (likely about an inch and half plus for actual circumference measurement of the brace itself depending on how it is tightened). The measurement should be taken 2 inches below the center of the knee cap. If you have additional questions please contact our customer service department via email - please contact our customer service department via email - amazon@unitedspb.com or by phone (800)-233-6956 and we will gladly assist you!

**Q: are the stays metal or hard plastic**
A: Hello,

There will be no metal found within this support. There are plastic stays to ass some rigid support, but they should be legal for on field play as they won’t pose any safety risk (which is what most athletic regulations center around). If you have additional questions please contact our customer service department via email - amazon@unitedspb.com or call 800-233-6956 and we’ll gladly assist you!

**Q: I was wondering if the item sold is the one that is shown (white logo) or the new version (red M logo)**
A: It is the one pictured with the white logo, just like you see.Best regards, NBL

**Q: My knee size is 15" should get a 2XL?**
A: I think an XL would be better.  That’s what I have and my is about 16 inch

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great support, really helps relieve pain and discomfort
*by E***G on May 10, 2013*

I've never worn a knee-brace in my entire life. I'm a 30-year old active male who recently tweaked something in my knee. I thought the pain would just go away over time but it didn't. After a few months, I figured I'd try this out as I was training for a marathon. Without the brace, about 5 minutes into my run, I would experience discomfort in my knee. After the brace, I was able to go on long runs (10+ miles) with no pain. It offers great support and stability. I think the sizes run a little small as I got one size larger than I thought I would need and it fits perfectly. When you first wear it and break it in, there are two stiff but flexible "rods" along the sides that offer the support. These kind of dug into my skin a little bit and would cause discomfort but over time, that went away. All-in-all, great product and does the job.
