EXOUS BODYGEAR Knee Brace For Women & Men For Arthritis Acl, Mcl Pain Patented 4-way Adjustable Wraparound Support Dual Side Stabilizer For Patella Stability

I have dislocated my kneecap hundreds of times since the original injury and severe dislocation 21 years ago. I realize this sounds insane and like no one would just keep popping their patella back into place every time it goes out for 21 years, never seeking further medical attention for the issue, especially as it continued to happen with increasing frequency. It's now at the point where it pops out at least once every month or two. Well, I have never claimed to be sane, and in my defense, the doctor I saw for the original injury said that I dislocated it so hard that it left permanent grooves in the cartilage underneath, and because of that, they would act as tracks and it would just keep dislocating, but there was nothing to be done for it. If you are wondering why I didn't seek a second opinion, it's because he was the second opinion... Anyway, on to the brace... My knee has finally gotten so bad that I can't let it go any longer and am going to see an orthopedist again. I'm pretty sure the soft tissue is so damaged that it's virtually useless. I have tried almost every style of brace on the market (except the really expensive ones), and none of them have offered enough support in the right places and been comfortable to wear for any period of time... But then I found THIS brace!! I hadn't even realized how much pain my knee was constantly in until I put this brace on! 1) The inner silky sleeve which protects your leg from rubbing on the outer fabric, and is also breathable and moisture wicking is a complete game changer! One would think such a small detail would be insignificant, but in terms of comfort and wearability it makes all the difference in the world! 2) The outer fabric is thinner and more light weight than most neoprene braces, making it more slim and comfortable, while still providing good compression and support. Also, the entire outside can be used to stick the velcro to, thus allowing you to position the straps exactly where you need them to be for optimal support. 3) The 2 extra patella support bands are AMAZING!!! They work far better than I ever could have imagined at keeping everything in alignment, and applying just enough pressure to give stability and relieve pain, without being too tight or uncomfortable, as they are fully adjustable. 4) The side supports are great! They definitely offer necessary added stability. The brace does limit your range of motion some, but that's really the whole point of a brace, since too great of movements will only lead to further injury and damage of an already weak or hurt area. Hands down, this the the absolute best brace ever!!! The price isn't much higher than your generic designs, and it is well worth it! (Also, I visited the retailers store and received a 25% off coupon to use on Amazon for any of their products, so that was helpful). But even at full price it's worth it. No other brace is designed quite as well, or offers the special features this one does. Plus, it is from a small business in the UK, designed by a guy determined to make a brace which would assist him with his own knee problems. The thought and care that went into making it is really evident, from construction to fit and function. It also comes with a 12 month warranty, and they send a paper with their contact info encouraging anyone who has an issue for any reason to contact them for resolution. They seem to be a good company who truly cares about their products and helping people. I very highly recommend that anyone with knee issues get this brace. The only suggestion I would make is for them to also make this in a plus sized version. Last year a medication I was put on caused A LOT of very rapid weight gain. Happily, stopping the med has reversed the process. But, had I tried to get this brace last year, it would not have fit my leg. Heavier people tend to have more joint problems, but there is a serious lack of good, affordable plus sized options of braces. I strongly encourage this company to fill that need. I am going to write to them regarding this issue. If you get this brace, or if you are a plus sized person whom this brace will not fit, I suggest that you also write to the company regarding this issue. I'm sure if enough people do it they will see there is a need and will work to fill it. Thank you for reading my long winded review. I hope you found it to be helpful. Once more for good measure... BUY THIS BRACE!!! (you won't regret it). Namaste.

This knee brace is a game-changer. The cross-strapping design and reinforced side supports lock it perfectly in place — no sliding, no bunching, no readjusting mid-activity. Once it’s on, it stays on. Comfort-wise, it punches well above its class. The material breathes surprisingly well, keeping heat buildup to a minimum even during longer wear. You almost forget it’s there. Construction feels solid and durable — the stitching, straps, and support panels all have a premium, well-engineered feel that inspires confidence it’ll hold up long-term. If you’ve struggled with braces that slip or overheat, this one solves both problems without compromise.

Mid 60's, love to walk, but suffer from bone-on-bone on one knee and residual discomfort from meniscus tear on the other knee. No surgery, no drugs other than acetaminophen and rest after over exertion. Purchased these knee braces early Sep 2025 after reading reviews looking for added knee support other than knee sleeves which were not adequate enough. Have been using them for 2.5 weeks and feel that they are worthy of a review. Besides trekking around my home base, more strenuous testing grounds were asphalt walking paths near Nashville and trails in the White Mountains of NH. I am not a long-distance hiker but like to accomplish 3–5-mile walking treks daily to get fresh air and keep my heart pumping, besides daily chores. If a daily total distance accumulates to 8+ miles per day, all the better. The big test is an approaching WDW adventure on concrete and asphalt of which I am a bit concerned. These braces seem to be constructed very well. The neoprene is soft against the skin, the vertical supports provide enough support without detracting flexibility. There is a thin mesh sleeve that goes behind the knee that IMO could be wider top to bottom. These knee braces need to be worn against your skin, not over pants or the like. And with that is my first comment, they tend to be hot in use, but I don’t consider that a problem. Fitment is tricky and requires some trial and error adjusting the straps until you find the sweet spot. Suggest using them while wearing short pants until you figure out the best adjustment fit. They are comfortably worn under pants too, just make sure your adjustment is to your liking first. The thin mesh brings my second comment. This thin mesh piece/sleeve which goes behind the knee, I wish it was a bit wider top to bottom. This bit tends to curl quickly and doesn’t necessarily cover enough of the back of the knee which can cause some pinching with the adjustment straps. I can foresee this as a chance of failure by eventually curling too much or tearing or the like. It is still not a deal breaker but the one area to lose a point. These braces do provide good support and keep my knees stable. They are relatively comfortable to wear with the exception of running hot but that heat actually helps my knees. Other than the size of the mesh piece behind the knee not being quite wide enough is my only complaint. When wearing them, my pain level during walks is greatly reduced. I definitely keep the straps snug to prevent slippage. The hook and loop fasteners can be challenging while putting the braces on because they seem to come alive like octopus tentacles grabbing on to things around them that shouldn’t be grabbed. I know these braces will not last forever, just like shoes, they will eventually wear out. But for the relatively low cost and how much they have allowed me to get off by butt and get back out there doing things, I will probably be a repeat customer.

Best knee brace ever so I bought 2. My other brace only had 2 straps and I am always having to pull it up and adjust it. This brace has 4 straps and stays in place all day and night. The way the brace wraps and supports my knee is unmatched. This had to be made by someone who actually needed it and wore it. I really can't say enough about this brace and how well it works.

Any product that someone gets paid (or gets a discount) to review, I view as advertising, and as such take 1-star off but, having said that, the EXOUS knee brace had almost 80% 5-star ratings which was impressive, beaten out by one other I looked at, the ULTRAFLEX which had over 90% 5-star ratings. So, when my right knee started to hurt (the inside part) after running 5K's, I decided to buy both (paid full price, $30 and $20, respectively) and try em out. The ULTRAFLEX arrived first, so I tried it on. It is made of a nice material, soft to the touch, and you do not feel like you have anything on. It goes on real easy, and once on, it stays on without slipping or curling at the edges due to a band at the inside top, which seems to grip onto your thigh. It goes on easy under jeans or pants, and is completely unobtrusive. If you don't remember to take it off, you will go to bed with it! It does a fairly good job of eliminating my knee pain but I could still feel the ache/soreness of my knee. Although going up/down stairs was easy, there was still that twinge of pain. On a 10-point scale of easing the knee pain, I would give it a 9. I have NOT gone running 5K with this, so when I do, I will update my experience here. UPDATE: 9/17/17--a full year of use, and I almost religiously run 5K every Sunday (weather and travel-schedule permitting) with this on my left knee. I am just amazed how good this has held up--the material still looks like and performs like new. It did feel like it was slipping, but I wear it slightly higher now, and I can tell you, it does not slip and grips your thigh really well. My knee actually feels better after my 5K run, than before--go figure! The EXOUS came the next day, so decided to put it on. Required a little effort, but after watching Meredith's (one of the paid reviewers here) video, was able to. This is definitely a more sturdy brace and so doesn't feel as unobtrusive. The material feels comfortable and soft to the touch. The straps are long and there's plenty of velcro, so it goes on and stays on (for now, at least). It does squeeze your knee-area a bit (if you get it on snug), so you do feel you are wearing it. But the amazing part is that the knee pain is almost entirely gone! I have been running up/down stairs to test it out and I do not feel any pain--on a scale of 10, this is a near perfect 9.9 for pain relief. I plan to go running with this on, and will update here my experience (also, how the velcro holds up over time). UPDATE 9/17/17--I have been using the EXOUS on my right knee for my 5K runs every Sunday, and this is the 1st year anniversary. I can honestly say that I am more pleased with this brace today than a year ago! The velcro holds up well and is still like-new, not slipping or coming off, and once you get the hang of putting the brace on, it goes on in 30 seconds. My knee feels fresh after my 5K run, can't describe it any better! However, between this and the more simpler designed Ultra-flex that I use on my left knee, I can NOT tell any difference--and the EXOUS is 50% more expensive! The only advantage I see with EXOUS is the fact that the straps allow you to tighten or loosen as required, but if you are on a budget, I would stay with the Ultra-flex. Happy running, Boomers!!! Biggest negative with both products--they are Made in China. UPDATE 6/4/2018--despite my dislike of anything MADE IN CHINA, I just ordered another EXOUS for my other knee (which I was using the UltraFlex for, which is pretty good for the price, but not as good as the EXOUS). This brace is head-and-shoulder better than any of the other braces have tried. My knee pain is a thing of the past.

Although comfortable and stays in place, whoever designed this didn’t think about those of us with issues bending your new. This brace requires you to slip it over your foot and slide it up to your knee, prior to fastening straps. I find this very difficult to put on.

Damn good brace, good compression, stable knee, and comfortable, two thumbs up!👍 👍

I was in so much pain one night. It was 10 o'clock. I looked for something, this had great reviews. I was able to get it the next morning between 4:00 and 8:00 It's not my knee, it's the muscles and ligaments around it. So I made a great choice of ordering this. Because the pain I don't have it anymore. And I'm able to get around and do things without limping. This is lightweight and not constructive. A wise choice by me to order it.

Perfect fit and doesn’t skim off because of the multiple layers of straps.

I see that the EX-701 by exousbodygear has been selling for a number of years on other amazon market places. I saw they had over 1600 5 star review from usa to Uk and even in Europe, so I thought about looking further and after reading them and also watching a lot of you youtube videos on the ex-701 I decided to buy once I saw the difference from the other knee braces on the market. I was looking for a knee brace that specifically gave a much better support to the ones I have tried to date. This is exactly what I was looking for the way the knee brace fits gives incredible support all over my knee. I need patella support as I have a mild case of jumpers knee so with rehab and physio settles down but I need a band and pressure on the patella when I exercise. This knee brace does exactly that is really gives a nice flexible support that stays put when I do my exercise and I love that. The brace is really adjustable in every place which is more so than other styles out there its also quite lightweight and easily wearable under clothes. I have used it several times now from helping to do knee rehab exercises (angled squats) and also it is very good to run in, it stays in place for a good 15 min, normally i have to adjust other ones every few minutes this one does really stay put. Def worth buying - one thing is you have to make sure you fit the guidelines I emailed the brand as they have the measurements only in inches and not metric so a little working out but other than that superb!

This knee brace is great for those who have problems with patella pain and also instability around the medial or lateral ligaments. The way it works is quite unique it has 4 straps which actually kind of wrap themselves all around your knee. It gives an incredible sense of support. I like the way you can adjust each strap which helps getting the fit just as you need. There are flexible coils on both the medial and lateral sides of the knee brace which really works well in combination with how you strap up the support. I can’t really explain it any better than that. It really stays put as well too many other types of knee braces I have used and you may also find this your self if you are a chronic knee pain sufferer that all too often they can slip very quickly. This particular design does exactly as it says on the product description it stays in place and gives fantastic support to both sides of the knee. The reason I bought it was for the patella support, the small cross over straps which over and under the knee cap is really good in reducing the pain as it helps push the patella tendon down when it's a bit inflamed and has a patella band like effect giving me some pain relief.

Exactly what I needed! The knee brace stays where I need it to and the documentation and instructions given with the knee brace were excellent. There are really good user guid videos on the company's you tube channel which shows how best to fit it and also why it is different to the other standard knee braces. Makes my day wearing this brace and I can’t recommend it enough.

Easy to put on and ok comfort. Not very stable or supportive though.
