EXCELLENT product. I had a fit or measurement issue and they shipped another size to me in less than 24 hrs. without question. This is a top quality sleeve..... I have been looking for a good sleeve, something to replace the $$$$$ Dr issued Breg. FOUND. what a comfortable knee sleeve. Best I have worn since knee surgery in 2016. the side support feels very firm but flexible..... the material is thick...the knee padding is just right... (my others have pads so thick they grab your pants when walking, its just really uncomfortable) the Venom sleeve is a blessing after 2 yrs of wearing others.... great support for leg training/rehab....I will be ordering on for the left knee at the end of this review....outstanding customer service....they even follow up to make sure fit is good....on replacement.

I tore my meniscus a while back and noticed while working out lately that I was getting post workout knee pain in the same knee. I went to my local corporate drugstore and bought your typical $15 leg sleeve (large) and it didn't fit over my calves. I returned it and bought another one with velcro straps, and that one was just "okay" but slid around a lot. Finally I decided to look here on Amazon and found this one. It fits very well and feels really good on my knee.The fabric feels very durable and strong - which was a worry of mine. There are compression pads inside of the knee sleeve itself that put pressure on the points that my pain is coming from. It really works! I wear it at night on the couch for a couple of hours before bed and it takes away the edge of my pain by the time I go to sleep!

Have had these knee braces for a week. For the most part, they’ve been great. The design is good and comfortable (I particularly like the thought that went into the loops at the top of the stability inserts to help with pulling them on) and they’ve help up during several intense Jiu-jitsu workouts. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because I tried wearing one of them golfing yesterday and it kept slipping down. Not sure if it’s stretched out in a week or if I needed a size down. I’ll probably try that next. Regardless, well worth the money. Provides support and cushioning where I need it, without being bulky and cumbersome.

I had bought an elbow brace/sleeve from this company and knew their product is high quality. But their knee sleeve size chart seemed inaccurate. I wear size 0-2, so I ordered sizes small and medium and I'm glad I did! If I wanted to go by their size chart I should've ordered XL!!! But small and medium both fit; however, small is tight and it gives me very tight compression which is fine. As for quality, I've been using them for the past six months and haven't noticed any smell as some reviewers have commented. I've washed them several times and I can tell you, the quality is amazing! These sleeves also provide LCL support. They also didn't cause any rash or itching; the fabric is very soft and comfortable. Overall, I highly recommend these knee sleeves but don't go by their size chart!

These are excellent knee sleeves that I intend to use for running and soccer (football). Naturally I would use them for skiing too. I have broken my knee twice in skiing and judo (ACL ligament injury, bone fracture and various tears).At 10cm above my knee, my thigh is 17,7 inches (45cm) at rest and 19 inches (48,5cm) when flexed.XL was too large for me as the knee sleeves kept sliding down and I had to constantly adjust them. Perhaps this is due to the fact that my knees are not big (size medium). Size L is perfect for me and now they are supportive yet comfortable to use.I would give the seller 7 stars if it was an option. When they were informed that XL was too large for my legs, they quickly replaced them with size L, free of charge. I wish every seller on earth had their bar that high for customer service and satisfaction. Thank you very much! :)Ordered also ankle socks from the same seller, and they are perfect. Now I am all set for continuing an active lifestyle.

Pro: it provides pretty good compression [support]. It seems sturdy and well made tho I've only been wearing it for 4+ weeks so I can't attest to it's durability over the long run. It stays in place w/o slipping during all sorts of bending and physical exercise.Cons: it bunches up behind the knee a bit no matter how you try to adjust it. When you take it off it leaves pronounced indentations and some redness behind the knee. There is also a moderate indentation around the top rim [thigh] and a grand canyon of indentations around the bottom rim [calf and shin bone]. There are "stiffeners" along the sides and these become very uncomfortable as the day goes on. I can't wait to take it off when all my physical exercise, dog walking, etc are finished. This may be the price you pay to have it stay in place and provide compression. If you have very large calf muscles relative to your thigh circumference you might consider a larger size but doing so may diminish compression. I have medium and am near the bottom of the range for the thigh measurement. I have good calf muscles but nothuge and I still get this deep indentation. UPDATE 3/18: After not wearing this Venom for months I gave it another try and it was as uncomfortable as I remembered and now I know why. I cut a small slit in the mat'l and removed the stiffener [stay]. It's a series of closely spaced overlapping metal rings along the entire length. It's uncomfortable even to run your finger over it. What were they thinking? Having this torture device rubbing the side of your knee is aweful. Without it the Venom is less uncomfortable, tho still not comfy, and you don't lose much support.
