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

Comfortable support
Best all day knee support I’ve ever found, hallelujah! Snug support on my knee, not too tight at top and bottom, and it doesn’t slide down. And so soft! I measured according to the chart, but still found that one size larger was a better fit. I’ve already bought the other color, and I’m so glad I found these!

Very comfortable and great support for a long-distance running!
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 🙂

Great for hiking…
I have an issue with my knee hurting when hiking/walking down an incline. Especially when the terrain is uneven when hiking. I have had this for years and have used a jumpers knee strap, which didn’t always work. I decided to try this compression sleeve and be proactive wearing before I start hiking. So far after two hikes around 2 miles up and down hill with uneven ground, my knee has had no pain! Quality of the material is good. I have seen some comments that the silicone non slip strip on the top and bottom have irritated peoples skin. So far I have not had any issues. I went with a large size, not sure how to describe my leg size. I am 5’5″ 168 lbs. The large size compresses but doesn’t cut circulation, at least for me. I have worn it for close to 3 hours at a time with no blood flow restriction. I would recommend if you are trying to find something to replace a jumpers knee strap or have issues with patella tendonitis, which I think is related to my pain.

Great for my Annoying Knee
I was looking for a light stabilizer for my knee and this fits the bill-I had a heavier one that just annoyed me so this compression sleeve is light feeling but keeps my knee stable for long walks. I can feel the differing amounts of compression around the knee joint so I’m happy.

UPDATE 14th October 2019I have been using this daily for about a week and find it far more comfortable than the more expensive one I mention in my review.I have therefore purchased another identical one as a spare.I purchased this, as it was £5 less expensive than a similar product that I got via Amazon a short while ago.This knee support arrived promptly, adequately packaged with clear instructions, it appears to be very well designed and manufacturedAfter careful measurement I ordered a medium size as my leg measurement 4 inches above my thigh was just over 16 inches.As with my other knee support, Initially it felt too tight, especially on my upper leg and I thought I should have got the next size up, but as I got more used to wearing it it felt more comfortable.I wore it for eight hours before going to bed and think it really helped my arthritic right knee and hope I can get used to the slight discomfort due to tightness.I have it on now and it feels OK, but still a bit tight.I will wear it every day for the next week or so before coming back and updating this review.

This knee brace is the absolute best. I have had chronic knee pain since having my second baby over a year ago. I have to squat and run up and down our stairs A LOT with two small kids and I have found that it supports and protects my knee. It has provided me relief from the pain and surprisingly very quickly after I started using it. It’s an awesome quality product and a great price point.
