This thing is too good to be true. I cannot believe how it has changed my life. It fits very well, but does nee to be adjusted once to twice a day as it slips slightly over an 18 hours day. You only need to unhook 3 straps to take it off and put it back on... and then perhaps readjust once before you start your day. My fitting of the straps appears to be the only issue. Sometimes I fit it too tight and have to loosen it a smidge. Unreal value & quality. Hard to imagine this isn't a $500.00 brace. The neoprene braces reduce blood floor to the knee, which make any recover from surgery or an accident more difficult. The neoprene braces don't offer nearly as much solid bracing as this thing does. I wish I had found this years ago. Hats off to the manufacturer for quality, ease of ordering & shipping and the overall strength of the design. If this brace lasts 3 months, I will buy it again. I've only had it for a week to date and couldn't be happier.

I ordered this brace because a friend broke her knee (Tibea Plateau) and we could not get a brace made locally. It came custom fit to the measurements we provided and worked well for stabilizing the knee; it also transferred much of the weight off of her knee and put it safely on her calf muscles. The brace arrived from half way around the world in just over a week. I could have ordered a similar brace locally but the cost was much more and delivery was expected to be a month. This brace has helped my friend get back on her feet, and shortened her recovery time.

Tore my leff knee MCL and PCL 3 months ago and have been wearing a Ossur Rebound PCL custom brace for the last couple of months. However, the Ossur brace is very uncomfortable while sitting at my desk working. I bought the K2 Comfortline for times when I'm sitting around. I have been pleasantly suprised by the comfort and stability it is provided. So much so, that I find myself wearing it everywhere. This is a quality product and it works well. Fitment is great. Just follow the directions for measuring and you will be all set.

My knee started twinging like when i busted it... So I priced the don-jons as that is what I wore after my ACL surgery. OUCH! I wanted more than the grocery store or drug store braces....so I thought I would try this. It is basically the same as the custom made $$$$ one, as it is custom, double hinged, strapped the same and all the rest. I was stunned. ok..only issue, and I had the a the same issue with the $$$$ one, is they do rub/chafe. They all do. If you can wear the compression sock under it, or nue-skin, or something you will get an ulcer fast. I don't need to wear this all the time any more, but when I am doing risky stuff or want some assurance,I put it on. of This is not a lightweight brace... It may not fit under snug pants, but it keeps your knee safe. I won't say it is comfortable, but it is much better than a tweaked knee Absolutely great for the price, and then some.

Couldn't walk a short block without considerable pain due to my bone-on-bone osteoarthritis. Now, using a cane as well as the brace, I can go on decent walks ( 3 km or more) virtually pain free. Brace is comfortable and hasn't slipped yet. I'm happy with it.

My first impression pulling it out was it felt heavy and durable not cheap. It was very well packaged, it takes some adjusting before you get the fit right but it made a notable difference in the pain in my knee following sports. I play ball hockey, baseball, volleyball etc and especially with ball hockey the pain during sports and the tightening, stiffening, swelling and pain following sports due to my OA has increased and started to effect my ability to preform. I have only been using this product for a week but I can honestly say I am feeling around a 70% decrease in discomfort.

Have used this brace for about a month now. Fits well, adds stability and decreases pain. Works for both medial and lateral compartment arthritis, the compartment "unloaders adjust nicely & are slotted so that when the knee is bent, the pads stay in place. Tried placing a cloth sleeve under the brace, but works best with less slipping when applied on the skin. Allen wrench, & extra pads are included. Is well constructed and some thoughtful engineering went into product development. Would definitely purchase again if needed. Believe I can get another year before knee replacement.

I finally find a brace that works after 5 dismal failures. This unit sells in Canada for $160 US with free shipping, but I can't order it as it's Amazon Canada. Being able to adjust the load/unload made the difference with this unit vs others with roms. It fit well, I had to tweak the metal just a tad to open it more. It took a while to get it adjusted where I needed it, but then it was fine. I wear it under Carhart's so I can get some work done. It's kept me from hyper-extending by design. I did have to change the side pressure several times. I need another medium for the right side and I've been reduced to buying other used brands on Ebay that won't work quite as well. I contacted the company with zero results. It looks like they're not coming back anytime soon. I went through 6 braces before landing on this one which has worked well. I had to know it would work to make sure I didn't get another useless brace I'm a bit frustrated since I can't get another one now for my other knee. I can't give it a bad rating because of that. This one will wear out, and when it does, I'm afraid I'm up the creek again with products that don't work or used crap on Ebay. Getting the size right is critical. I was on the high end of the medium scale just enough that a large wouldn't work. I even contacted the company in India to buy these so I could sell them as I'm now a true believer by experience. They never responded. I have it in my wish list in case they do sell it again.

I wore a Breg FreeStyle on my right knee for a year before having a total knee replacement. The brace worked well for a couple of months until the very poor quality hook and loop fasteners got weaker and weaker and became ineffective. I've worn this brace for about 3 weeks on my left knee. Quality of the fasteners is far and above the fasteners on the other brace and I can't see them wearing out before I'm done with the brace. I'm on my feet all day every day and the brace does a great job and is quite comfortable. Only negatives I have are that the brace is quite bulky and will probably not fit under tighter clothing. This has not yet been a problem as I have been wearing work jeans. If you don't cinch up the straps in the proper sequence and tight enough, the brace tends to slip down. My first brace was prescribed by a physician and covered by insurance. I bought this one online. Cost was less than 1/2 of the other brace billed to my insurance. All in all, a great deal for the money.

When I first got this brace, I had trouble putting it on. And it was extremely uncomfortable. It seemed to be way too small, however, when I had ordered it, I was very careful to measure my leg for proper fitting of the brace. So would only wear it about 5-10 minutes at a time. At one point I gave up and chunked it into my closet. A few weeks later I dug it back out and decided to try again. It took far longer than I had expected for my brace to finally conform to my leg. It took nearly a month, but the brace has finally broken in and actually fits my leg ALMOST perfectly. The lower part of my brace actually needs to be quite a bit longer, as I have really large, powerful calves that cause the lower part of the brace to fall right where my calves are at their widest. As such, even when I'm standing upright, the lower part of the brace is angled about 10 degrees backwards to accommodate my calf muscles. This brace works best when worn as tightly as possible. At first it felt like my leg was being put into a major clamp, but once it broke in and conformed to my leg better, it became far more comfortable to wear. Now I'm able to wear it throughout the day. It's eliminated nearly all the pain in my knee. I've worn unloader braces in the past, as I'm a retired Navy Veteran. Ship's steel decks are really hard on the knees, causing the cartilage to wear away quicker than it ever should. This brace is both more comfortable and provides better support than those braces did in the past. I'm glad I didn't give up on it.

Great supper and fit for my knee issue.

These knee braces are adjustable to a wide range of leg sizes. My wife says they look uncomfortable, but they feel nothing but good. I've had some braces that are sweaty. These breathe and I forget I have them on, except that I no longer fear uneven terrain or a trip to the Mall of America.

It is providing good stability am still becoming adjusted to having it on and getting the straps just right but it is definitely take a lot of the pressure off of my knee while walking

I had got a regular hinge brace from PT, and it tore my leg up (cuts and blisters). I have Grade 2 MCL sprain and medial torn meniscus, so needed something alittle more ridged and I did alot of research. Due my work being up on my feet all day and alot lifting and pulling, needed something stable. Once getting this brace, it is a bulky so loose fitting pants should be worn, unless you plane to wear it over. At first, it was tight due to my knee being swallow, and finding the right adjustments I was able to find the right ones. It does take time find what adjustment will work for you, but say it works. I say so, because I am still able to stock and pull pallets. I'm still able to get the job done. For the bulkiness, its actually pretty light. You can wear it skin to brace, but it will get some irritated if you work long hours like I do. I did purchase an under brace sleeve but those didn't work for me, what ended up working is capri leggings and then putting the brace over it. I still have bad days with my knee, but not as many as I did with a neoprene hinged brace had.

I can go up & down stairs without having my knee say “nope”. Awesome! It’s been very comfortable so far. My knee has no pressure whatsoever. This is marvellous to have a day without having my knee “give” somewhere in my day. I can get up easily from the floor wearing this brace. Well worth the price. I haven’t found a negative thing about it. Thank you!

Great product, holds the knee properly and only gets slightly loose during engaging sports, as long as you wear it tight Therefore an under padding like a neoprene pull up would be wise to keep the brace in place during physical sports as it tends to slip downwards As for torsion movements not as tight as a true orthopedic At this price it’s a great tool to have as the real ones break during sports like hockey
