The Best Knee Brace, November 24, 2009
This review is from: ACE Neoprene Open Knee Brace, One Size Fits All (Health and Beauty)
The old Ace knee brace has been greatly improved. The photo on the package shows the old, standard knee brace. However, what is inside is somewhat different. It still has the open patella and two velcro straps that wrap around over the top of the thigh, above the knee, and below the knee. However, the velcro is greatly improved and is a flatter style that still sticks amazingly well. The brace has an inside "sleeve" that fits behind the knee giving further support and comfort. The material is still neoprene but with rounded edges and a nice whip-stitch trim that leaves no raw edges. The brace is also more shaped so that it hugs the knee and the areas surrounding the knee giving more support. I like the new brace so much that I am ordering another one the day after receiving the first. The new design is overall an excellent improvement and the brace will fit any size knee.

One Size Doesn't Fit All, June 17, 2011
This review is from: ACE Neoprene Open Knee Brace, One Size Fits All (Health and Beauty)
My doctor ordered me to wear a brace like this for my torn miniscus and tendonitis. It worked reasonably well for short distances, but after walking only two or three blocks it would start to bunch in the middle and slide down and not give me the support my knee really needed. I needed to wear the brace all day, and had to constantly adjust it and pull it up until I finally gave in and bought another brand. Yes the top and bottom part of the brace were adjustable for a wide range of sizes (including my own), but the middle which isn't adjustable was just too big for me. I was shocked that this brace was so insufficient given all the positive reviews and no mentions of this problem, but I would suggest to anyone shopping for a brace not to order one for all sizes, especially not this specific brace.

a solid knee wrap, November 11, 2010
This review is from: ACE Neoprene Open Knee Brace, One Size Fits All (Health and Beauty)
i thought this knee brace would have a little more structure to it, but it's really just a big ace bandage with a hole cut out for your kneecap. it does a very good job and i haven't injured my knee again since using it, but it's a bit bulky behind the knee. makes bending even a little slightly uncomfortable. but hey, its cheap. i use it for running.
