DonJoy Performance Stabilizing Knee Sleeve - X-Large

It’s the best knee brace that I have found

I used this knee brace to play golf. After four 18 hole rounds of golf, the seam at the top of the stabilizer on the right side separated causing the stabilizer to break through. The knee brace did an excellent job of limiting lateral knee movement during golf, but I am very disappointed with the seam separation in only 4 uses. Sadly, a tear appeared at a seam at the back of the knee on my 1st DonJoy knee brace purchased 10 days earlier after 7 rounds of golf.

Purchased this knee brace years ago and needed to replace it. Was exited to find the same one again available. Unfortunately the quality of this one is not the same as my previous purchase. The stabilizer bar keeps coming out due to area not being sewn correctly. Quality control missed something. Overall I do still love the brace.

Despite all the reviews that said to order larger, I followed the manufacturer's recommendation and bought a medium. My knee measures 15", calf 14", and thigh somewhere in the range. Given my calf measurement being on the low end of medium, I figured I'd be okay.My use for the brace is for rock climbing, where my patella (I think...) slips out of place during full flexion. The brace I had previously would slip down throughout a climb and didn't feel snug enough, so I was ready for something with more compression.Well, I only have a couple hours of experience with this brace so far, but the results have been fantastic. It was definitely snug, but I forgot it was on after a while. Most importantly, it didn't slip, and my knee felt totally secure throughout my whole session.I'm thrilled with this purchase so far, and once I get more time with it, I'll update my review as needed.

The sizing is very inaccurate. I don’t trust whatever sizing is on Amazon so I always go to the manufacturer direct. Took my measurements and came out to the very low end of medium which I thought was great that I’d have some wiggle room. Wrong. Got the thing and could barely squeeze my leg in. Almost returned it but wore it for a few days and it loosened up just a tad to be a true compression sleeve not a tourniquet. Three stars because it wasn’t ready to go right out of the box and just for the fact that if my measurements were any larger it would have been completely unwearable. Part of the middle donut has already busted loose in a centimeter section, probably because it took so much force to pull it up but otherwise it provides good support and seems durable enough.

My husband has two knees that buckle from time to time. This brace is very supportive and will probably last a long time. Previous braces stretched and were not useful after a few monthsHowever, one of the supports has come out after only ten days. That probably won't affect the usefulness of the brace but it was disappointing to have something "break" so soon .The brace is a bit difficult to take off each evening but that is because of his age and lack of dexterity.

The product is well built, but unfortunately the sizes run really small compared to what the chart claims.. Order at least 2 sizes bigger than what the chart tells you..

The support straps keeps coming out and I have to push it back in, I think there is hole.

Great brace for fit and comfort. Good basic compression for the knee and patella. Does make you sweat a lot since it is neoprene and can be tricky to pull off when damp. The one thing I don’t like is Velcro opens to one side at bottom and to the other at top, so one side is always rubbing your inner leg or pants, depending on which leg you wear it. The Velcro basically wrecked my expensive bauerfeind brace I was wearing in my other knee.
