TechWare Pro Knee Brace for Women & Men - Knee Compression Sleeve for Knee Pain, Knee Support. Knee Brace for Meniscus Tear, ACL, and Arthritis with Side Stabilizers & Gel Pads. 5 Sizes Single Pack

Really nice brace. Supportive but not at all bulky. Compression level is good - not too tight or too loose and they stay in place nicely. They definitely help my knee discomfort.

I like this product a great deal -- in fact after I bought the first one I used it for a few days and then purchased another one for my other knee. I have even recommended them to friends who also are future knee replacement patients. At first I thought I would wear this every day. However, as with any sleeve worth its salt, the compression is tight and it caused my foot to swell after wearing it for 8 hours or longer. The swelling was gone by morning, but I tend now to just wear it when I am going to be walking or otherwise exercising my knees. The product seems well made, fits well, is easy to get on (make sure you have the right size) and holds in place. Overall it is a great product for the price. Just don't expect to feel like you have a brand new knee.

These days work good

I’ve tried many different knee braces both hinged and elastic to help with my miniscus injury and this is one of the best I’ve tried. I bought a small and I’m 5’8” 145 pounds with skinny calfs and it fit me perfectly. I love the padded ring around the knee and there is a sticky ring around the top and bottom inside edges that helps hold the brace in place so it doesn’t slip. In fact i had to really yank at it to take it off so i know it won’t fall down when I’m walking. It’s very comfortable and provides excellent support!

I have gone through close to a dozen different knee braces in the last year. Most work but wear out quickly and start to slide and bunch over time. This one is very supportive and I really like how the "ring" holds the knee cap in place. The one major problem is the sizing. The size chart is useless, according to the chart I should order a Large, I know this is ridiculous as I have very skinny knees and every knee brace I have ordered has been a medium and a couple of smalls. The smallest they offer is a medium so I ordered that. Glad I followed my intuition rather than the sizing guide as the medium is just a little bit too big. Doesn't fall down or anything but is just not as snug as it should be. Hoping with repeated washings it will "shrink-up" a little. If you have "normal" size knees this will probably work great for you just be aware of the sizing issue.

I feel the support, but still very comfortable.

Good Knee support. Torn meniscus, torn cartilage and bone on bone arthritis this support holds my knee togather. Well designed, does not cut off circulation like some others. It does become a little more uncomfortible than others providing less support after wearing for hours. Better minor discomfort than pain and more damage. I ordered another one for my good(better) knee to wear when doing strenuous activities to prevent future damage.

I had essentially worn out three Bauerfeind knees sleeves when I came across the TechWare product. The executive summary is that the TechWare is the winner. If money were no object I would probably stick with the Bauerfeind. Here is my take on the two products: Bauerfeind - great product. While I am never sure if the support is more psychological than physical I do know that I have less knee pain after my 3 to 6 mile runs. The Bauerfeind is slightly longer than the TechWare (see pictures) which gives me the sense of better support and compression over a larger area. It reaches further up my leg. The patella “donut” is very similar in size and feel to the TechWare so that is not an issue. There is a “V” band of gel material on the upper part of the Bauerfeind to reduce slippage down the let. Having been through 3 of these I find that this is the first part of the sleeve that gives way. It starts to peel off over time. There are similar plastic struts or supports that run vertically most of the length of both sides of the sleeve in both products. The Bauerfeind seems to be more shaped while the TechWare is heavier piece of long rectangular plastic. That said, there is no noticeable difference between the two while wearing and running. TechWare - good product. Overall the sleeve seems beefier than the Bauerfeind and gives the impression that it might last longer. My biggest complaint is that it is not quite as long. The stretchy material seems to have a stouter weave but stretches nicely. I wear a medium in both products and there is no noticeable difference. As you might expect, the Bauerfeind stretches over time (the primary reason for replacement) and I think the TechWare will eventually have the same problem. The heavier construction makes me think it might last a bit longer. As mentioned above, the patella “donut” and vertical plastic supports may have subtle differences but they cannot be felt during wear and use. Conclusion - Given the huge price differential and that you can buy several TechWare sleeves for the cost of one Bauerfeind sleeve coupled with negligible performance differences I recommend the TechWare.
