Physix Gear Knee Compression Sleeve for Men & Women - Best Compression Knee Brace for Walking, Running, Gym, Basketball, Weightlifting,Workout, Sports - Knee sleeves Support Compression & Stability

I run a long distance and have recently developed a severe "runner's knee" on both sides of my knees. I already have Osgood-Schlatter disease on my left knee which I also fractured (and has healed) last year, so realized that I'd need a good knee support if I run more than 10 miles. I have tried THREE (3) knee support braces/compression sleeves including "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" for that purpose, and wanted to list them for comparison. (1). Breg "FreeRunner". Formerly prescribed for the fracture and designed for an athlete/runner to help with their rehab. It did a great job staying in place during my 13-mile run. But it did NOT completely keep my knee pain-free as it normally would with stairs and biking. I started to feel the same discomfort --> disturbing pain around 10 miles. The brace is bulky so occasionally rubbed against the other thigh - which is a big NO-NO. (2). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace (this product): this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did an amazing job in protecting my right knee which was suffering runner's knee. It fits like your favorite compression knee-high sock with no limit in movement and is definitely a more comfortable wear than PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (#3). But the anti-slip grips of this knee sleeve at the top is tighter than PowerLix's and may feel a bit too tight. It is however never uncomfortable and the sleeve stayed on without rolling or chafing for an entire full marathon! I ran my first full marathon race in this sleeve with peace of mind and ease of knee :-) It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race. (3) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve: This is a BRACE that is in a form of a compression sleeve. It holds my kneecap in place, protects my Osgood-Schlatter bump (bone protrusion), prevents abnormal gait due to the uneven pulls by the thigh muscles, keeps the optimal temperature inside, allows FULL range of motion. I can flex my knee all the way. It is nice and tight but never uncomfortable. I wore this on my problem left knee and ran the full marathon race this past weekend. It stayed on without ever sliding/rolling down or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles and I did not have to worry or think about it. Most importantly - Absolutely NO PAIN during and post race. I was SO amazed. [OVERALL] Both "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" & "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace" (this product) did an amazing job and are highly recommended for long-distance runners. They stabilize the knee joint and prevent pain/inflammation by right support and compression but ut never restrict the movement or stop the blood flow - even for hours! *Sizing: I took the measurements 4 & 5 inches above the top of the BENT KNEE in a sitting position. They fell between 15.3 -15.7 inch. So according to the sizing chart provided by the company, I got a MEDIUM for "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" and a SMALL for "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". They fit perfectly. *Length: According to the product specification, "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" is a bit longer than "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". But due to the very firm fabric of PoweLix and very stretchy fabric of Physix, Physix knee sleeve ends up slightly taller than PoweLix when I wore them. *Color: Grey/Black for Physix looks stylish, and the grey circle at the kneecap helps adjust the sleeve in the right position. Grey/Black for PowerLix (this product) is almost entirely black (see photo - upper right). It doesn't look like the product photo on this webpage and thought I got a wrong product! Not sure about Blue which I didn't get. I hope they both last long!!! Thank you for reading my long review :-)

I have a Baker’s cyst behind one knee and the doctor suggested I use a compression sleeve to keep it from swelling up. I liked it so well that I bought another one for the other knee. I use them only when I hike. The black color keeps the dirt from showing. I have hand washed one a couple times and it doesn’t seem like it lost any of its support.

Provides good compression and warmth around knee. Fabric material allows for good flexibility/mobility yet stability. Got the small size, but unfortunately, I'm on the shorter and petite size in stature so the upper part of the sleeve reached and cinched my upper quads a little too tightly for comfortable wear during my exercise of choice (trail running). But the tight fit and silicone banding serves well for its intended purpose of preventing slippage during activity, even with heavy sweating. While the sleeve didn't quite work out for my unique physique and would have been perfect for me if it was a couple of inches shorter on top, I still think the product is well-made and efficient for what it was designed to do. It would definitely work well for most people and anyone of average height/stature (trust me, I wish I was taller) as the other reviews testify. Furthermore, I appreciated the company/seller for their integrity and commitment to ensuring satisfaction. They were very attentive to my concerns and provided excellent customer service. Thanks!

I was hesitant when I ordered this sleeve because I have tried several different ones, they were all so uncomfortable. I love walking at an incline on my treadmill, but I struggle with arthritis and old knee injuries. I haven’t been able to walk much without a brace because my knee hurts so much after walking. This one is so comfortable and has been perfect, I ordered a small and am back to walking! I walk between 3-5 miles with a 4 percent incline at a 3.2 speed with any issues during or after my walk. I’m going to order a couple more. Once I find something I like that works for me I like to keep extra for travel and in between washings. I would recommend handwashing or using a laundry bag and washing on cold as well as air drying for extended use.

It allows me to take longer walks with my arthritic knee. It is supportive.

Normally socks or sleeves came in pair. Mistaken and wasn’t happy only received one sleeve inside the box. Kinda expensive for one sleeve.

The quality of the knee compression sleeve is great for both men and women

I waited with this review until after i was done with my 44 mile hike at the Grand Canyon. Just to make sure I do a true review. I’ve had the normal knee pains due to wear and tear but I also run with my dogs on trails and sometimes they cause me injuries that’s why I ordered these braces. Well, last Tuesday I hiked down to the Grand Canyon on South Kaibab and hiked all the way to Supai tunnel and back down to Phantom Ranch which was 33 miles in one day with over 8000 feet of elevation. The next day I hiked out using the Bright Angel trail which was another 9.97 miles with over 4000 feet of elevation. My knees do bad on downhills That’s why I decided to wear the braces the whole time except for the night. Let me tell you: i had no pain in my knees and I haven’t had any pain in them since I got back from my trip two days ago! Amazing! These braces are soft yet compress my knees enough to hold them together. The material doesn’t trap perspiration underneath and the edges don’t cut or cause friction. After 44 miles in a day and a half and without any pain, weakness or skin irritation I can highly recommend this brand for any runner or hiker out there!

Es una rodillera muy buena. Aprieta de forma uniforme y, lo mejor de todo: las bandas de silicona hacen que no se mueva del sitio. La recomiendo.

I had stiffness around my knees for a few weeks, due to some injury during my PT sessions. That made it hard for me to walk around for longer periods of time. This knee sleeve from PhysixGear is very comfortable, provides good support and I could walk all day without getting any pain. Worth it to protect your knees if you walk, run or train a lot. A while ago, I bought the plantar fascitis ankle and heel support socks from the same company too, also a good buy.

Genouillere de tres bonne qualitee. Belles couleurs, agreable a porter, pas de coture qui nous blesse, tres bon maintien .discrete sous pantallons. Facile entretien meme si lavage main uniquement.

J’ai acheté cet article pour mon compagnon soufrant avec ses rotules. Il les porte à son travail et sur la moto et sent un réel confort avec et moins de douleurs. Bon produit.

Very good and really liked it and was very useful to help my knee ache.
