DonJoyReaction Compression Support: Knee Brace Undersleeve, Medium

Perfect Fit! I have very thick thighs (23”) and have never found an under sleeve for my knee brace that actually fit in 3 years. They all want to slip down and I’ve never found a way to make them stay in place. This DonJoy XXL Sleeve (The same brand as my brace btw) is very comfortable, ultra thin, great stretchability and stays up and never slips down. Highly Recommend…

Soft yet comfortable. Nice fit

I have thoroughly tested both Donjoy hinged knee brace under-sleeves available on amazon (hereafter "CP" for undersleeve closed patella, "RC," this product, for reaction compression). For both sleeves, make sure you're not squeezing your leg as you measure and go with the tighter of the two sizes if you're stuck in between. The major difference between the two is that the CP sleeve is made out of soft camisole/long-john material whereas this RC sleeve is made out of thin legging material with rubberized grips on the inside seams. I can't say either sleeve is perfect, but they're a million times better than wearing the bare-bones brace. While I think both sleeves are solid, if I had to pick here are the categories I've found important and which sleeve I think is BETTER for each:- Holding up the brace securely: RC sleeve- Minimizing adjustments throughout the day: RC sleeve- Overall comfort: CP sleeve- Minimizing skin/scar irritation: CP sleeve- Sweat practicality: RC sleeve, it allows sweat to transfer thru brace faster but overall dries faster and feels cleaner. If you sweat a decent amount, both sleeves will ultimately transfer sweat to the brace anyways.- For use during PT/gym: RC sleeveOverall: RC sleeveBOTTOM LINE/TLDR: If you have the misfortune of clickity-clacking around in one of these damn hinged knee braces, GET A SLEEVE. Of the Donjoy sleeves, the RC sleeve (this product) is more functional and practical for me, particularly as someone who sweats a lot and wears my brace to the gym. The CP sleeve is overall much more comfortable and sustainable to wear throughout a long day. My two cents- get yourself one of each. Wear the CP for relaxed days or office-work kinda days and the RC for exercise or any particularly daunting or sweaty outings for the day. If you feel either of these is vastly better for you, I'd still recommend you get two for laundering ease and quick switcheroos on the go.

I just read the reviews. I wished I would have read them sooner. Some gave good reviews and some not great. Well my review is not good. I have brought compression sleeves in the past. I did my measurements placed my order, received the item. All I can say that the name sleeve goes right along with the product. It was loose like sleeve. No compression, no support, & no such thing as fit. I really don’t want to put one star but I have to or it won’t let me submit it.

This sleeve, is exactly like the one given to me with my meniscus tear brace at the surgeon's office. I have been searching everywhere for it. THANK YOU so much. It is the same material, but most importantly, it has these cool flush nubs at the top, that keep it from sticking or becoming itchy. It is the most perfect compression sleeve, and gives a lot of support. I am 180 lbs, 5'8" and got the medium, and it is perfect! Thank you for fast shipping. I'm ordering three more right now!

This was a great sleeve for the first three weeks. After that it made my brace slip down to my ankle. I was careful to follow the washing instructions. I let it air dry after washing it in cold water in a small garmet wash bag with the rest of my clothes.

Its a good step down from a tight ace bandage wrap. Light compression so it makes it easier to bend your knee as part of the healing exercises.

I recently got an unloader knee brace. It came with a sleeve but I wanted another to be able to wash one while wearing the other. This Donjoy sleeve has worked well. It is similar to the one that came with my brace and performs just as good.
