I have osteoarthritis of the right knee. They say the knee cartilage is pretty much gone and my knee is "bone to bone". I wear this Bracoo Knee Support all day every day and I wouldn't be without it. It is easy put on and is comfortable and hardly noticeable. I occasionally wash it to rejuvenate the velcro. My exercise routine is to walk for a couple of hours each day.
Hands down the best knee brace I’ve ever tried. I do a lot of running, so my knees take a beating, especially my left one. I have tried a bunch of different knee braces but now I have found one that actually works! It provides great compression without cutting of the circulation and the material is well built. It's adjustable with three velcro straps, so it’s easy to adjust to your liking. Working out is so much less painful now especially when running. Something I would really recommend is to combine it with a knee sleeve, this helped me recover much faster! The knee sleeve I use is Sleeve Stars knee sleeve. This is a great combo, esp if you are a runner or do a lot of squats! I can definitely tell a noticeable difference when wearing both during my workouts. I even like to wear the knee sleeve under my clothes during work as a preventive measure.
This was very helpful when I twisted my knee; I wasn't badly injured and recovered on my own, but there was a definite "looseness" and soreness in the affected knee. This brace actually did stabilize the joint and there was a noticeable improvement in comfort while wearing it. The only downsides are the fact that the brace does restrict range of motion (specifically, crouching down was difficult because the brace would get bunched up behind the knee) and it tended to slip down my leg (which is admittedly pretty thin) so I had to adjust it throughout the day.
Beyond that, after a couple weeks my knee healed up and is as good as new, so I don't need the brace any more! (And seriously, if you have swelling or pain in your knee you should contact your physician, as you probably injured your knee worse than I did and this brace will not be enough to allow you to recover fully.)
After sudden swelling in my knee which eventually caused a limp in my walk, I purchased this product until my appointment w/ my doctor came around. I wasn't sure which brace to purchase but am hands down happy with this one. It's easy to take on and off. The velcro holds exceptionally well. The brace does not move around throughout the day and immediately after put it on I felt a huge difference. I could put pressure on my knee and it not hurt nor pop nowhere near as bad as it once was. A week after seeing my doctor I am still wearing it and love that it's not too bulky under pants. And it still feels the same as the 1st time I took it out the box, so the quality is wonderful!
I ordered two braces because both of my knees are quite painful due to onset of arthritis. I wanted something to reduce the pain while I do my daily walk. I have been wearing these all week. Much to my satisfaction, the pain has reduced both during the walks and even when I am not wearing the braces. I am able to adjust the braces to get just the right amount of tightness or looseness as I need on a given day. They do get a bit sweaty on warmer days but dry out easily. I am sure they can be washed (at least by hand due to the Velcro.)

Description
Superior Technology & Design
Our open-patella design relieves stress in the knee area, while the padded stabilizer prevents displacement and guides the knee cap into proper motion. The 3 Velcro straps can be attached to almost any point around the support for a tailored fit and prevent slippage during even the most active exercise. Manufactured using extra-thick neoprene which boosts localized blood circulation and affords added protection against harm. Perforated moisture vents across the entire brace allow it to dissipate sweat effectively and ensure comfort throughout the day.
Medical Performance
This knee support is effective in reducing post-surgery knee pain, strain and arthritis. It’s ideal protection for ACL, PCL, and MCL ligaments and reduces risk of such injuries during intense exercise or heavy usage. The thick neoprene material is an excellent insulator for retaining heat, thereby improving blood circulation around the region and accelerating general recovery.
Ideal for
- Rehabilitation from acute knee injuries & inflammation
- Reducing chronic pain around the patella
- Guiding knee motion
- Preventing (re)injury during heavy usage or exercise
- Post-surgery recovery

Very comfortable brace, stays in place and great support. Velcros around knee. I'm on my feet a lot and I've had a torn Meniscus in the past. I was having a lot of the same pain/symptoms in my other knee. I got this brace and it's helped so much and the pain has gone away. Not sure exactly why my knee was acting up so much but this brace did the trick!
Very good brace! These offer great support for tired and overworked knees. I have tried several other types with mediocre results. These are very good as you can have them as tight or loose as you want with the adjustable straps. They are a great tool to have when you need them. They do slip down a little sometimes but just give a little pull to get them back in place. I have recommended them to many friends and family and they love em.
It works really good
No more pain after my workouts, very comfortable
One of the best knee braces we've gotten. I bought this for my daughter after she had an ice skating knee injury. What we like about this brace is that it velcroes in two different places. And each strap can be wrapped and adjusted based on swelling . Most knee braces slip over the foot and are too big or too small or lose their shape. This one is so much better than that. It hasn't lost its shape at all and we've had it for about 6 months.
I am pleasantly surprised by this brace after having tried one by Ace that is double the price. It's comfortable, it keeps my knee (healing from a sports injury) stable when I walk without cutting off my circulation, is easy to adjust and just the right height for me. The Ace knee sleeve had a much longer height and was always slipping down. Some reviewers have commented that the middle strap is too short. I suppose a lot would depend on one's measurements. For reference, my kneecap measures 13.5" around, my thigh (from 3" above the kneecap) is 15.5" around and my calf measurement is 13" around. This covers the height of the device at the lower, middle and upper ranges. The only reason I subtracted one star is that although it's not shoddy by any means, it's not high-end craftsmanship either, so its longevity is questionable. But for the price, it's still a great deal.
