Actesso Elastic Knee Support - Lightweight Compression Sleeve, Breathable Knee Brace for Joint Pain, Arthritis, Injury Recovery, Sports, Running, Fitness, Left & Right, Men & Women (Beige, Large)

Brilliant choice! Has made a huge difference to my knee when I’m exercising, thankfully

This elasticated knee support is sold through Amazon at a cost of £4.99 plus a 99p postal charge.The support was delivered quickly along with other purchases.Simply packed and opened.The bandage / support is effectively a simple elasticated tube approximately ten inches long with a slightly larger opening at oneend than the other.I am a 6ft 2 male, average weight and build. The "support" fits in such a way that it is a comfortable fit being neither overly tightthus interfering with blood flow but tight enough to give me support to my long term troublesome knee.I CHOOSE SIZE XLI choose the beige / code to flesh colour option.The material is well woven and the join to the tube is nigh on invisible so overall well made.I have had a troublesome knee for over twenty years, a momento of injuries in the course of my duties. I have used manyvariations of knee support. This overall is fairly average when compared to similar tube type support tubes.This tube does however stand out in terms of comparable value being the best that I have seen in some time, definitely fromhigh street sources and many internet sources.This review is based on my own opinions based on decades of experiences gleaned in a professional occupation, as a consumer,a property owner and raising a family.I hope that this review has been of assistance to you.

I've suffered from arthritis since childhood and I've probably tried every sort of knee support there is. Let's face it they aren't the most glamorous of items. I bought these ones, in black, and think they have a certain sleek sportiness about them which I think is about as close as I'll ever get.They are nicely shaped over the knee cap and behind the knee in order to facilitate movement and to prevent soreness behind the knee, which they do very well. I like this particular support because of the sizing - it's well worth measuring your leg above the knee and buying the correct size because I discovered that my knee's bigger than it looks, and it made a huge difference to purchase the correct size second time around.I find that the supports minimise pain and have prevented me from injuring myself due to having weakened knee joints. I do give my knees and legs a good massage after taking them off to keep the blood supply healthy.These supports wash well in warm water and liquid detergent; I find it best to dry them naturally which does take a day or two, and I have now ordered a second set to facillitate this. Three months in, with daily use and careful washing they are still good as new at present. For that reason, I think they are good value especially currently when they're available for the summer sale offer.For me, if I have to wear knee supports these are top notch.

I didn't realize different sizes too tight

This is a good knee support, points of note are:(1) Good pain relief.(2) Good support. It provides good compression and stabilisation of the knee joint area.(3) Strong elastic fabric. It has stronger elasticity compared with Tubigrip but still maintains flexibility of movement [e.g. bending at the knee joint].(4) Good quality fabric that is robust, hard wearing and non-itchy. There is a good finish to the fabric at both ends [no loose threads / frayed ends malting as I have found with Tubigrip].(5) Warmth. This is perhaps helped by the thick fabric.(6) Shape. It is ever so slightly tapered, being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, mimicking the contours of the knee anatomy and thereby facilitating a better fit.(7) Comfortable.(8) Sleeve, pull on design. One uses a similar action as putting socks on but you pull the fabric up to the knee. This could potentially be a drawback for the elderly with difficulty of movement.(9) Reasonable price. In my opinion, it represents value for money.(10) Sizing.I bought a size SMALL and un-stretched it measures approximately:- LENGTH = 22cm;- WIDTH - top = 13.5cm [27cm all around];- WIDTH middle = 12.25cm [24.5cm all round];- WIDTH bottom = 11cm [22cm all around].My knee measures around 33cm [just above the kneecap area, at the widest part] and I found this to be a good fit.For comparison, the item description gives the following measurements:Small = 33 - 36.Medium = 36 - 39.Large = 39 - 42OVERALL: a good knee support that provides good pain relief, stabilisation of the joint area, is comfortable, made from good quality fabric and I feel represents value for money. Recommended.Side Note: Some reviews state their knee support bunches up [potentially too small] or slides down [potentially too big]. I am wondering if they have the wrong size, especially if it is sliding down! Personally, I have not encountered this problem.

It was really good and very pleased with rhe product

This is a good knee pad, which is comfortable to wear. It doesn’t provide quite so much support as my other Actesso knee pad.

Disappointed with this I really wanted the cut your own elastic bandage this is very stiff and not suitable for me I’m not saying it wouldn’t be any good for people that want this sort of bandage
