Bauerfeind Sports Knee Brace for Injury Prevention & Pain Relief

Zoë Williams: I have tried several different braces for my knee. This goes above and beyond. No latex listed in the material list and it provides flexible yet consistent support. I recently had fluid pulled off my knee and need compression 24/7. This goes above and beyond my expectations. Higher price, but higher quality. 100% worth it. I can wait to get back to training in it.

WallyF.: Good quality knee brace, it provides mobility safety. After a couple days of wearing it feels quite comfortable and it does the job of of keeping the knee safe!

Rod : Did the recommended measuring. I found the brace was a little tight when I first tried it on. I've since worn it on three separate hikes, and it feels comfortable and gives great support.

Michael: I wear these to ski because I have bad knees and they help keep my knees stabilized so I can ski longer and harder.

After maybe the 4th or 5th use, I started to develop a rash on my upper thigh where the rubberized grip strip contour around my thigh. It's not a deal breaker and they aren't uncomfortable while in use, but having itchy blisters after the fact is pretty annoying.
I thought maybe it was because they were dirty but even after washing them I still got the blisters.

I'll try out some chamois cream next time I wear them to see if that might help. The isolation of the knee and the compression fit is worth the rash at the end of the day, and maybe I'll just need to put some tape or something around my leg before putting them on, or wear them over my base layers.

All around seems like a great product to help with joint issues. Worn them maybe 15 times to ski and a little on some hikes and I definitely notice a difference in knee pain the next day. Just gotta figure out the rash thing.

Amazon Customer: I’ve been snowboarding with this brace for a couple of weeks, and it’s been supportive and comfortable the whole time. It also doesn’t slide down my leg throughout an entire day of use. Very nice design.

The one thing to be aware of is that the main structure of the brace is loose-knit material that works great for its intended purpose, but a little fragile against abrasive surfaces, especially coarse velcro. Keep it away from things like that and you’ll be fine.

True West: In my mid-50s, I'm still training jiu jitsu and muay Thai, which persistently causes swelling in my surgically repaired left knee (40% meniscus tear nine years ago). My knee is holding up fine, but it gets sore. I've now blown cash on nine different knee sleeves on Amazon, and the Bauerfeind is far and beyond the best. The cheaper ones, $15-$25 for a pair, are worthless IMHO: they are little more than a sock pulled over my knee. Of the $40-$65 variety, they generally provide decent knee support, although they tend to be 1) bulkier, and not ideal for training, playing sports, etc.; or 2) odd or less than ideal fit; or 3) both. The Bauerfeind is slightly bulkier than the ~$20 knee socks, but the fit is snug without being constricting, and it provides better support than anything else I've tried. Worth noting, too, jiu jitsu puts a lot more stress on a knee sleeve than, say, playing basketball or soccer (e.g., wrestling level changes, knee slice, scrambles, etc.). Personally, I don't find a very noticeable difference between this older version and the newer Bauerfeind; they are both excellent, durable, and easy to wash, so go with the color/pattern you prefer.

Melo: malgrès le fait que j'ai retourné l'article, il est top, il ne correspond pas à mes besoins, je voulais juste une bande elastique, alors qu'il y a des renfort sur les côté qui empèchent de bouger trop le genoux. Idéal pour éviter de bouger quand il y a une blessure, mais pas top pour faire du sport avec.

That Guy: Background: I am a 40 something Military Veteran and distance runner who has spent a lifetime abusing my knees and ankles. After I turned 40 I began to suffer increasingly from chronic knee pain.

In early March, the day following a distance run, I experienced knee pain like I had not experienced in the Army or during long distance running events. I ordered the Bauerfiend Knee Support through Amazon and it arrived on the promised delivery date.

Full disclosure: I already had a robust collection of knee braces, wraps, sleeves, gels, potions etc. and frankly wasn’t expecting much different from the Bauerfeind support than what I had experienced with other items. On the day the product arrived I had struggled to even get into the car to drive home. On the way, I visited the doctor who advised me that my knee was swelling and to look into a quality compression wrap. Fortunately, one was waiting for me at home.

The sizing is legit. I followed the sizing instruction on the order form and found that the fit was quite comfortable right out of the box. Do take a moment to carefully read the sizing directions as the measurements are to be taken from...
