Best hinged knee brace I've ever hadMarch 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had ACL and meniscus problems for about 18 years and have worn many braces. This is the best hinged brace I've used. I use it for martial arts (striking and grappling) about 5-6x/wk.
Freedom of movement is excellent. I feel virtually no restriction as I kick, plant, pivot, grapple, etc. The HydraCinn material allows your skin to breathe and so your knees don't get so sweaty. It really does what it purports to do. Moisture is wicked away and the anti-microbial aspect keeps it as clean smelling as possible. It's also easy to wash by hand and drys quickly.
I've had mine for seven months, washing it by hand or machine almost daily. It's still in excellent condition.
The only problem I've had is that due to the rough and tumble nature of martial arts, the material covering the hinges has worn away somewhat and I've had to tape it up.
I'll be using only this brace until technology gets better. The price may be higher than the average brace but it's well worth it.
Great Brace for the PriceAugust 23, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Without going into the hundreds of dollars you'd pay for the really high end knee braces, I honestly think this is the best you're going to get. It gives good support, and isn't horribly uncomfortable to wear at all. The larger sizes seem to be a little harder to come by for guys with "tree trunk legs" like me, but after some shimmying, grunting and pulling I can get it on. Who knows, that's probably why I get such good support from the thing.
I've had knee issues for years (three arthroscopies, one ACL replacement, and currently a torn meniscus), and this brace is the best I've found.
