McDavid 425

I have yet to put this to the test in a sporting situation. However, the item is well made, seems durable and was as described. I have worn it around the house in as I moved things in the garden. The support this gave to my knee (knee cap moves and currently swollen and painful) was immediate! I am impressed so far. I may just get one for the other knee.

Relatively comfortable for a support of this type

I have had one of these supports for about a year now and I think it's great. I have arthritis and was about to do a sponsored walk when my knee decided to play up, it wouldn't support my weight. I could walk perfectly normally with the brace on and had no pain.I recently bought another one from this Amazon seller and found that they sent me an older design one, which wasn't as comfortable. The one I already have was 2008 on the packaging but the one I got from here was 1998. The design has obviously changed and I agree with the comments from the other reviewer about it not being comfortable. I am however returning it to get another one from the seller I got the first one from.Although the 2008 design does still wrinkle around the knee a bit it's a lot better than the 1998 design. Something to watch out for.

From not walking a lot my husband actually mowed the lawn when he put this support brace on. The secret is in the supports at the side. They stopped the twist on the kneecap he was getting from just an ordinary kneestrap.

Great product. Best knee support ive bought.

Great support in time of need

Big problem with this is that they wrinkle when you start exercising.This can be very annoying and the fit can be frustrating. Found it a bit awkward and McDavid are very unfriendly to deal with

delivered with in a day no extra cost helping my wife with her walking 100 percent would tell anyone to buy it

No creí que me permitiera jugar con tanta facilidad, pero principalmente con esa seguridad, estoy en una rehabilitación por una distensión de ligamentos y me está ayudando bastante, es muy segura y cómoda para los broches que se ven y quizá lo aparatosa.

I strained a knee tendon a few weeks before I was supposed to ski in Banff, Alberta. I bought this brace hoping it might save my vacation. It did! This brace is sturdy. It is a bit of a work-out to get it on if you need to wear it over pants. But I was wearing tights and it fit great over the tights and under my ski pants. My knee felt supported and I was able to ski three days.I would definitely upsize your order. I don't consider myself and XL (I am a woman) but I read other reviews and did significantly upsize to an XL. It is adjustable so you can cinch it tighter if you buy a larger size.

It helps to stabilize my knee.

Merveille de support que cette genouillère McDavid 425, parfaite réponse à mes douleurs persistantes. Ancien basketteur, la pratique de mon sport m'a valu plusieurs blessures endommageant mes genoux. Le droit en particulier m'empêche d'enchaîner les efforts.Après avoir essayé plusieurs alternatives recommandées par kinés, médecins et autres professionnels de la santé, j'ai trouvé mon bonheur avec le petit bijou susdit. Non seulement je peux plier la jambe sans ressentir de pointe, je peux désormais marcher et même trottiner (je n'ose pas encore courir, blocage mental oblige) en me sentant parfaitement protégé et accompagné (ce sentiment d'accompagnement est essentiel en ce qu'on n'a pas à dénaturer la démarche ni faire attention à chaque pas) mouvement après mouvement.Au repos aussi, la genouillère fait le job en enveloppant la zone recouverte sans devenir hypra-collante et suintante comme trop d'autres concurrentes. Seul léger bémol, la zone centrale se rétracte parfois à force de plier/déplier la jambe et finit par entraîner un léger glissement de la genouillère vers le bas. Non que ça m'ait véritablement gêné jusqu'ici, la fixité étant quasi-optimale avec les différentes bandes diagonales.Globalement très satisfait des produits McDavid, car c'est la satisfaction procurée par une chevillère achetée précédemment qui m'a poussé à acheter cette genouillère.
