Review: Pretty good brace! - As braces go, this ones pretty danged good. I had surgery on a meniscus tear 35 years ago and was recently on a vacation that involved a lot of stairs. Needless to say, my knee was not happy. The last brace I got from the doctor was too small and smelled terrible, so I decided to try my luck here. I was worried because the sizing is based on joint size, not leg circumference, and, because I'm overweight, I tend to have issues with the thigh part being too tight. For reference, my joint measures 16.5" and 4" above my knee is about 22". I'm happy to say that, although the brace is a bit snug, it's not painful. It fits pretty well, and the pain is gone. I have now ordered the XXL size so that I have something a bit more comfortable to wear around the house, but this XL is going to be great for walks. I am not at all disappointed. I also love the extra support the criss cross straps above and below the knee cap give. My knee cap is the most painful, and with this thing on, it's finally quiet.
Review: NOT Love at 1st sight but ... - When I first took this beast out of it's package I was thinking to myself, "Hmmm. This MIGHT be a little overkill. Good thing I didn't get the next sturdier one up." I was right. Next, I put it on and tried strapping it up. (Without reading the enclosed instructions printed inside the package's insert that I didn't see right away.) It wasn't looking and feeling as though I was going to be very happy with my buying decision. So I looked for and found the instructions which were a little awkward at first, but I discovered McDavid did their best in their effort to assist the consumer AND the instructions really weren't so bad after all; there's FAR worse written instructions to be found for consumer products. So, I hooked up the straps as instructed and found satisfaction with my choice beyond my first impression. I wore it to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs and found comfort. I'm a male, presently at the age of 59 years old with one knee a "little" overused and one knee a LOT overused to some extent; I exercise using a treadmill and knee press as regularly as possible. One repeated set back were my knees. This McDavid support will PROBABLY feel and MAYBE appear a little bulky to a younger high school athlete for instance BUT if there is an issue with their/your knee(s) this could or could NOT be right for you. For an older, larger person with moderate but NOT a severe injury, severe like recovering from a serious injury after a car wreck where you couldn't walk for a while,period. Then yeah, the top of the line super bulky one would probably be for you as a prosthetic of sorts, then as your condition improves go to this one as your ability to walk gradually improves. I'm NOT a doctor BUT I DO have personal experience with such issues so I feel qualified to comment on this with some authority that this should fit or not fill the bill for you with the conditions mentioned. For me, I anticipate a break-in period here for use of this support. It IS a little restrictive, BUT I was pleasantly surprised with how it felt when I started walking around with it on. It got a "Wow!" Rating to automatically register somewhere in my brain receptors. I'm serious. THAT was for the knee in worse condition of the two. My other knee isn't quite as problematic BUT there IS tenderness issues. For that knee I got the Nike open patella and I don't regret it one bit. It's perfect, really, BUT this is about the more troublesome knee which is usable BUT has been troublesome and causing problems for me for some time. It's a good buying decision for larger people and probably late teen athletes with a near serious condition. It would DEFINITELY look and feel bulky on a high school level girl or guy unless they're completely sidelined with some injury. If you plan on playing soccer or running track with this thing on, I would make other plans with another, lighter device: even the Nike might be overkill if you're active, not rehabbing. For a rehab period, this a DEFINITE two thumbs up. For active participation in a competitive sport, personally I think you'd find this one too cumbersome. (The sizing chart is reliable. I forgot where I saw it though. It's either in another review or listed under Product Information above by the manufacturer. You'll appreciate a tailor's tape measure. You can order one for just a few dollar - if you're buying stuff like this support now you'll be doing more measuring later so it's a good idea to order a measuring tape.) HOPEFULLY, I will be able to graduate to NOT having to wear this to go out for a run which doesn't appear to be a practical thing to do with this support on. It WILL be just fine for the treadmill though, JUST what the doctor ordered. I can switch to something lighter for that run in the way of knee support but I know already that this is going to improve my performance like I said on the treadmill: I felt it climbing the stairs. BIG improvement. I hope this has been helpful. WFN

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic but good knee brace for light support.
*by S***H on March 5, 2023*

Good neoprene knee brace. The fit was good and the adjustable "X" straps seem to provide a little more secure feeling over straps just going around the leg.
