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 started working out without anything on my knees (knowing I have two messed up knees) anyway I started feeling some pain and a little soreness in my knees so I ordered these one for each knee. First off they fit snug and just right (make sure you get the right size for your knee or knees) the stay up and so far dont slip ot roll down when working out. I like that they warm your knees up as you warm up, keeping the knees flexible and massaged during work outs. They seem to give good support to your knees. Now if you have a severely bad knee or knees I would get more of knee brace not knee support. I would highly recommend these knee supports to warm up knees and keep those knees flexible and strong 💪 my knee pain and soreness went away after using these knee supports.

This gives excellent support. The only con is that using the sizing chart made selection difficult for an accurate fit, and so after a few hours of use, the upper thigh contracts too much for blood circulation and comfort. Other than that, I think it is a great product, depending on leg shape and fat content.

Just what I needed or the pain in my knee from osteoarthritis! I could barely put pressure on my leg so walking very far was out of the question. I have big thighs and went for the XXL . It’s very comfortable, soft and fits perfectly. Not tight at all! No rolling down and I have no pain when walking! I will order another one for a spare. So glad I found this one.

Good compression. Fits well. Have a bit of a problem with it rolling and sliding down when I wear it, while working out. But, the compression does help with knee pain.

Works great. I’m a commercial driver. Left knee stays stagnant for the most part. This has made a big difference. Buy it if you need one. As long as you get the correct size, it stays on good. Minimal movement

I've been using the Physix Gear Knee Compression Sleeve for years now, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance! It provides excellent support and helps reduce knee pain, whether I'm working out, running, or just going about my day. The compression is just right . snug without being uncomfortable and it offers great stability without restricting movement.The material is durable and breathable, and the sleeve holds up perfectly even after frequent use and washing. It's made a noticeable difference in my overall knee health and comfort, and I’ve recommended it to several friends and family members. If you're looking for reliable knee support, this is the sleeve to get. Highly recommend!

Taking a star off because of size chart. I am a 17” thigh and the recommended Medium was uncomfortably tight.Returned item & a Large is perfect. The quality is great, material heavy & tight but the sizing is misleading. Having gotten the correct size, this compression sleeve is so comfortable it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it. And it does not slip.
