IPOW 2 Pack Knee Pain Relief & Patella Stabilizer Knee Strap Brace Support for Hiking, Soccer, Basketball, Running, Jumpers Knee, Tennis, Tendonitis, Volleyball & Squats, Black

I love strenuous hikes. The crazier, more scrambling, elevation gain, longer miles… the better. But they don’t always love me, unfortunately, I get the worst knee pain upon descent. Years ago I started using compression knee braces for stability and found that they just prolonged the inevitable, my knees would always hurt afterwards. I’m talking can’t walk, climb stairs, even bending my knee would hurt. On a whim I decided to look on Amazon for new braces (preferably matching as my old ones were one black, one grey) and I came across these. The reviews looked good so I thought I’d give it a try. I packed them in my carry on and off we went to Maine for a full week of iron rungs, bouldering, scrambling, 5,000+ elevation gain, and doing it all in any kind of weather you can imagine. I summited Katahdin while wearing these bad boys, and I was nervous, 5000’ elevation gain in 4 hours literally clawing my way up and over boulders and having to descend that as well… I thought for sure I’d be in tears from the pain by the end of it. I am SO so happy to report that is not the case!!!!! Minus my muscles being sore today my knees don’t feel a single thing, they aren’t swollen, I can walk up and down stairs just fine, I’m not RICE-ing and taking NSAIDs like crazy. I am in LOVE!!!! If you’re skeptical, let me tell you, these guys are incredible, best money I’ve ever spent. And if you don’t like them you can return them! Or send them my way when my pair wears down ;) I also saw a few thru-hikers wearing them (or something similar) so clearly they’re good for 2,000 miles!

It works. U just have to place it just right or it won’t work. It has helped me at work a lot.

Really like this product for stability

If you have large thighs and calves its uncomfortable. The strap irritates the back of the knee. I actually cut the tip of an old sock and slipped the strap thru it and then put the brace on so the sock provided padding from the strap. That seemed to help with comfort. The strap does help but for me I cannot wear all day.

Great for runners!!

I can’t believe how much this helps. Great for the price. Seriously. My pain went from extreme to almost nonexistent. Easy to use, to remove etc.

I remember the first time I bought these...THEY HAD AIR IN THEM. I KNOW THIS Because one of them went flat....BUT THEY LASTED TWO YEARs before going flat. AND SO I DECIDED TO ORDER THE SAME ONES AGAIN......BUT ACCEPT>>>>>>THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. THEY SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE WITH CHEAPER MATERIAL AND THEY LOOK CHEAPER BUT IT IS THE SAME BRAND...I DONT UNDERSTAND IF I ORDER THE SAME, I SHOULD GET THE SAME. THIS IS SOME BULLSHIZZOM! THE ONES WITH AIR, I WORE EVERYDAY BUT THESE ONES< I NEVER WEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE USELESS FOR MY KNEES....FEELS LIKE I TIED A ROPE AROUND MY KNEE.....THIS SHOULD SPEAK LOUD TO THE MAKERS OF THIS PRODUCT!!!! May 1, 2023. They company emailed me to send another pair. They asked for my address and I received it within two weeks. I like these better BECAUSE it has added gel for protection. THANKS TO THE COMPANY FOR LISTENING AND FIXING THE PROBLEM>>>SO, instead of a one star, I GAVE THEM A THREE STAR for improvement.

I like these for when I just need knee support for both knees or even one above and one below my knee. They are lightweight, secure, large enough to go around even a large knee and lower thigh area. They were worth the money and I would purchase again.

I had another brand before til the Velcro wore out. Got this one as a replacement and it’s actually made better. The Velcro strap is covered with a soft neoprene and doesn’t cut into my leg like that other brand. I’d give it 5 stars if they had a smaller size.

I started Tae Kwon Do back up and my knees where limiting my ability to fully participate. They just felt a little loose. At first I bought a whole knee brace for my left knee as its my weak knee but its bulky and limits my range of motion. So bought these thinking it cant get any worse. Well yesterday I was able to do my jump kick without any worries. Best part is when I got home there was no pain in my knees. Its been a few months and I still love the support. Im going to buy more since the Velcro has weakened after I use the knee supports at least three times a week. I still highly recommend this product.
