POWERLIX Knee Brace Support – Best Compression Sleeve for Men & Women for Pain Relief– Superior Braces for Meniscus Tear & Arthritis, Please Refer to The Sizing Chart

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) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (this product): 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 a 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. (3). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace: this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did also 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 (#2). 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 the entire 26.2 miles. It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race. [OVERALL] Both "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" (this product) & "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace" 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 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 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 :-) -------------- UPDATE 12/18/2023 ----------------- I'm still using POWERLIX Leg Sleeve (this product) and have run 7 marathons and hundreds of runs with them since the first purchase in 2018. Nothing wrong with running with knee braces although some sports experts may preach that you need to train your own muscles and correct your form and such. You've got your personal reasons for needing special support for your knees, and these sleeves do the job. I replace the sleeves every year and am on #5 :)

Great quality Powerlix knee compression sleeves. I bought 2 of them for both my knees. They stay in place when I walk on the treadmill or use the leg press machine with weights in the gym. The knees are firmly supported to eliminate pain. Measure you knees to chose the right size. Love the quality of these sleeves and highly recommend them.

It fits and it feels great! The material is not itchy for me. I originally ordered a XL but that was too big below knee. The large fits better for me. It would be better if the knee cap area was more snug but it still does the job intended. It slides on very easy and stays in place. The back of knee area could use less material to reduce the overlapping of materials. My measurements are 15.5” below knee and 19” above knee (5” from knee cap). I would recommend this compression sleeve. I use it for walking and knee pain after leg day.

Delivered fast. Product is excellent quality. I was able to get back in the gym and work out as normal with this knee sleeve. Excellent support and I had no pain during my exercise or even later when I got home. This was just from using it one day. I had been suffering for almost a month with knee pain and aching and swelling without this knee sleeve. It truly is a life saver!

It’s ok, I wanted to try this out for my long runs to see if it would help with some of the knee pain I was having. It fits very well, no sliding around. However, it didn’t really help with any of the pain. I still had the same knee pain around mile 3 out of 5 and the day after pain was just as excruciating using the sleeve as it was without using it during my run. It’s hard to say if I was able to push through the pain better while using the sleeve or not, but I don’t think that’s what this is intended for anyway. I can definitely feel the compression and tightness that the sleeve is supposed to give you, but maybe it’s for a different type of knee pain than what I am experiencing on my runs. I’ll keep it and try it during my weight lifting workouts here in a few days after the knee pain wears off & see if it makes a difference on the types of workouts. It might work better for the weight lifting for knee support more than support for running. I don’t dislike it, I think it’s just not for my type of pain situation I’m experiencing.

Just ordered 2 more of these great knee sleeves. I’ve had unlock brace, and several other types of sleeves but none feel as good and stay up like this sleeve. I’m an elder female at 86 and have had a left robotic knee replacement in 2024, now the right knee decided to go wacky on me. After 3 days wearing this sleeve plus knee conditioning exercises, I can walk without a cane and the pain to left of patella is manageable.. So grateful to find a comfortable sleeve that won’t slide down. There is a good reason for 60,000 plus good reviews!

I've been using the Knee Brace/sleeve for weeks now, as needed, and I'm impressed with its performance. As a regular runner, I've struggled with knee pain/discomfort and instability, especially on longer runs or during 5Ks where I over exert myself and lose form to make for better time. This brace has made a significant difference. *Pros:* 1. *Excellent Support:* The brace provides firm, comfortable support without feeling too restrictive. 2. *Reduced Pain:* My knee pain has decreased noticeably, allowing me to run longer distances without discomfort. 3. *Breathable Material:* The moisture-wicking fabric keeps my knee dry and cool during intense runs. 4. *Flexible Fit:* Stretchy material makes for an easy fit without losing support or form. 5. *Durable:* Well-made and shows no signs of wear after repeated use. *Cons:* 1. *Initial Discomfort:* Took some time to get used to wearing a brace while running. *Recommendation:* If you're a runner struggling with knee issues, I highly recommend this Knee Brace. It's a game-changer for stability and pain relief. And it’s become a must have for my longer runs, ensuring my knee is in great condition to run again the very next day. While it may take some getting used to, the benefits far outweigh any initial discomfort. *Would I buy again?* Absolutely!

Good all around full support top to bottom, keeps patella in place was able to run at a good pace, even on the treadmill with little to no discomfort.

size runs large . please buy 1 size smaller for more secure fit

少し大きめでしたが愛用してます。

自分の足にフイットして大変よかった。

Ich möchte meine Erfahrungen mit der POWERLIX Kniebandage für meine Frau teilen. Sie hatte sich am Knie verletzt, und die vom Arzt verschriebene Bandage schien die Situation eher zu verschlimmern. Aus einer Laune heraus bestellte ich die POWERLIX Kniebandage, ohne große Erwartungen zu haben. Zu unserer Überraschung linderte sie die Beschwerden meiner Frau deutlich. Das atmungsaktive Material sorgt dafür, dass das Knie nicht schwitzt und unangenehm riecht, selbst bei längerem Tragen. Die Bandage sitzt fest, ohne zu rutschen, und kann bequem über oder unter der Kleidung getragen werden. Was uns besonders beeindruckt hat, ist die 4-Wege-Dehnbarkeit des Gewebes. Es bietet hervorragenden Schutz und Unterstützung in alle Richtungen. Meine Frau kann jetzt wieder längere Strecken gehen, ohne Schmerzen zu haben. Die einfache Handhabung und Pflege sind weitere Pluspunkte. Die Bandage lässt sich leicht anlegen und ist maschinenwaschenbar. Insgesamt eine überraschend effektive und komfortable Lösung für Knieprobleme.

La he comprado en tres ocasiones y siempre ha sido de mucha calidad
