5.0 out of 5 starsLIFE SAVER...THANK YOU ACE!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2014
I am a 200lbs male, suffering from all sorts of knee pain, especially on my right knee.
I love running and going to the gym but this knee pain had really pissed me off, cos I can't be as active as before.
After a run, I always have pain around my right knee, and also my outer right ankle. Worst is for a few days, when I sit down, I could feel pain behind my right knee. Tried all types of knee brace to knee band, all end up in my closet. I currently reside in Singapore, and can only find limited range in the stores. Honestly, I ordered this ACE as without much faith, but since the price is cheaper....hahahaa.
Result - Wore for my first run, and now I am sitting in my chair typing this review, a bit sore but PAINLESS!!!! I have forgotten what it is like to feel this way. I owe it to ACE to write this review. Yes the neoprene material is not as thick as other brands, but the support is there. I think its the thin elastic sleeve that does the trick. The adjustable straps don't rub or come loose after I sweat, and in Singapore, you will sweat!
Really feels like someone holding my knee, very snug but no tightness pain.
I know good things dont last....lol, cos velcro will always come loose, and the thin elastic sleeve will eventually loosen also.
So you bet I will ordered a few to keep.
If there's any complain, is the top strap above my knee for my thigh just left 2 inches, not much allowance.
My thigh measurements above my knee is 21inches, hope those with really big thighs might not fit.
Something I just don't understand, why all these companies that make this kind of knee support, why can't you make the thigh strap longer.
Most of us with pain have big thighs, so all end up too tight or cant even fasten. Unless you wear a patella band, and an IT band separately.
Hope this review can help people with knee pain make better choices.
