Knee Supports for Men and Women - Compression Sleeves to Ease Knee Discomfort - Great for Running, Sports & Everyday Wear (Grey) (Pair) (Extra Large) [XL]

I do have knee support for weightlifting and crossfit, but these are neoprene 7mm and 5mm and not really designed for running or wearing for any length of time and due to the current situation needed some knee support suitable for running that are thinner and allowed sweat wicking.I did go from the size guide and I measured 18.5" which put me in the Large category, however usually I would go for medium.They did fit perfectly and offered great support and comfort generally walking about and you could easily wear these all day, however when I started running they started to bunch up and slide down my leg. This did however correct itself around 20 minutes into the run, but I assumed that this was becuase maybe sweat helped, or that heat would ensure a better seal, or that my legs would have swollen slightly (ie blood flow to the muscles).I attempted another run, and the same happened, but it was too annoying to ignore, so I contacted their support and a smaller pair (medium) was sent out. They were brilliant about it.I would have expected the medium to be tight, but they are still really comfortable and after going for a test run, they dont slip and are great. Ive been wearing them now for a number of hours and they really are supportive.I'm really happy with them, they are perfect for what I need, so I would suggest that if you are just on the limit into a larger size and you are running take into a account that you may need the smaller size. If you are simply walking and doing stationary exercise, squats etc then it shouldnt be a problem but then again everyone is different.Its probably more important to know that the customer support is excellent and that they will make sure you have the right ones for you.

I am very pleased with my recently purchased Rymora knee compression support sleeve. I had an initial problem with the fitting and on the advice of the manufacturer, had a replacement bigger size. I was very happy with the professional service offered and have no hesitation in recommending Rymora products. I initially bought a pack of 2 knee sleeves, as have occasional issues with both knees, but with the intention of assisting one knee which was currently troubling me. I measured at 18.5 inches (47 cm) in the advised area 4 inches above the knee cap; which was size Large per the spec chart. I found the at home self measuring process a little fiddly. My measurements varied a little each time, with the largest measurement coming out at 19 inches (48.3 cm). As both measurements fell in the 'Large' range, I was happy that the sleeve would be OK in this size. The product arrived promptly soon after ordering. I tested the Large sleeve on one problem knee and was not totally comfortable with the fit around the lower thigh area, and also around the knee joint. The upper band was a tight fit for me and I didn't feel comfortable wearing the sleeve for any sustained period. Also the design of the compression sleeve is a slight concave in the centre of the sleeve (like an hour glass effect) . This design did not suit the size of my knee; although I can see that it was aimed to give maximum support to the knee joint. I contacted the supplier, Rymora, to advise them of my problem and they promptly responded and posted out a replacement pack of 2 in the next size up (ie XL size); which arrived by post the next day. The XL size was a much better fit for me, both around the lower thigh and the knee. I have been able to wear the sleeve during the day for the last few days since it arrived, without any problem. The larger size has not caused any issues with compression impressions on the thigh, nor has it bunched up around the knee, suggesting it is the correct sizing. I tested the XL size sleeve with a one hours walk on the first day of receiving it, followed by a round of golf the next day. Both outings proved successful and the sleeve gave the desired and needed support without any irritation. The sleeve appears to be well made and a good & effective design. Its worth noting that the total length of the sleeve measures 10 inches (25 cm) and is a little more compact than some other similar sleeves on the market; which is a part of the design which I like about the Rymora knee sleeve when worn with shorts or long trousers. I hope this positive experience is helpful to any future buyer.

This was a complicated requirement. I bought the pair of supports hoping to replace the cumbersome, one size fits all, Velcro fastened, reinforced supports I already had.On a well recovered knee that had undergone 9 operations and a full joint replacement, this support is lightweight, very comfortable and does a very good job, offering confidence giving support.On the other knee, which has undergone one cartilage operation but is showing some signs of osteoarthritis in the medial side of the joint, it is not really strong enough to support the joint properly and I have had to revert to the reinforced, Velcro type.I read a lot of reviews before deciding to try these sleeves and hoped, optimistically probably, that they would suit both joints.They are really comfortable, do not overheat and would be great unless you have a relatively serious injury to protect.The price is excellent and I would recommend them overall. I was probably hoping for too much with such differing requirements.I haven’t contacted the supplier because I don’t regard the small shortcoming as their fault at all - and they do go to some lengths to encourage contact if you are at all dissatisfied.Good product.

Very comfortable and do not ride up. Breathable fabric so easy to wear for hours on end.

I bought this after injuring my knee when running. The support it gives really makes a difference and gave me confidence again. I'm now running again without it so I think it helped in my recovery.
