I purchased two of these because my local sporting goods store only carries this brand. I have a slight case of runner's knee, and I wanted to use this when I worked out to hopefully ease some of that pain. This is really a pretty horrible knee strap for working out because it slips at the least bit of sweat. It's made completely out of neoprene and rubber, so it really has nothing to hold on to, and slips down almost immediately after putting it on. Also, given the pressure and the fact that your skin can't breathe under the band, you are most likely going to sweat somewhat, and therefore put the band at risk of slipping. Perhaps if you just need to have something for walking around the house, or being outside when it is not the least bit warm or humid, this might work, and (if you can find it at your local sports store) is a cheaper option to some of the other bands. However, if you need something that will last an entire workout, or that you can wear in the heat, keep looking. I already ordered the pro-tec version which has an elastic band and seems to stay on much better and am planning on returning the McDavid's band that I did not wear.

Good luck!

This item fits well. Easy to adjust for small legs. Very happy wit purchase. Arrived quickly and exactly as described.

These types of straps are really great for knee pain when you've got a kneecap that doesn't want to slide into it's groove right. This is a very nice quality strap that has a soft lining that feels good against the skin. I found it to be VERY comfortable. With the McDavid strap, there is no buckle. It simply wraps around the leg using Velcro. It's lining is soft and I can wear it for long periods of time with no discomfort or other problems at all.

As a side note, I purchased a competitor's strap (Futuro Adjustable Sport Knee Strap, One Size Adjustable (Pack of 2)) that was not comfortable for me at all because of a buckle that pressed against my skin and pinched when I bent my knee. I would definitely recommend this strap as a better alternative.
