It's seems a little tighter than I would expect, and I did measure and make sure I ordered the right size. It offers really good support, a and I love that I can adjust it so it stays where I want it.
I found the braces fit pretty well, snug without pinching. They were able to slide on with no issues. I liked the support ribs, they were firm without being intrusive.
My husband has a weak right knee. He really likes this brace. It fits snugly and gives him very good support without being uncomfortable. He has tried elastic knee sleeves before, but this gives him even more support. especially with the patella stabilizer. It is comfortable to wear for long periods of time, it fits true to size, and it's slim enough to wear under pants.
This knee brace is very nice. The material is thin and goes on easily. The XL fit me perfectly. There's support on the sides but it doesn't limit my range of motion for working out. There's plenty of support around the patella to limit movement. The top has grippy material and velcros for adjustment. I find it's quite comfortable to wear while working out, I haven't worn it for extended periods though. It's definitely on the high side for a knee brace, however it is high quality. It may be worth paying up for this one instead of trying several cheaper ones to find one that works.
This brace is very well made, offers tight compression and gentle support. It's good for daily use to provide stabilization. The side stabilizers are thin and flexible making this quite comfortable and allowing for ease of movement. The top has an adjustable band to customize the fit. This is a winner!!
