Review: It seems remarkable, but they run very small. - Great product, but sizes are iffy for me. I am a slight person and the S was super tight. The medium is a bit too loose. ugh. but it does seem like a quality product and comes right away.
Review: Great at first, but low quality so doesn't last. - Full disclosure, I use these when Training BJJ, so there's more contact/friction than a lot of potential uses. The design is great, it keeps the knee really stable, allowing for a full range of movement, and it's comfortable. Problem appeared quickly which was that the stitching on the fabric which covers the metal hinge started to wear away. It finally got to the point where I felt I needed to return iot, but that was more than 30 days, so the company won't replace it. Worth noting that they said they wouldn't do that anyway for desertcart orders.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this neoprene-free?**
A: No where in the description does it say neoprene, but it has five percent neoprene and I can tell you that it is right around the hole for the knee cap area because that is where I am broken out with red itchy painful bumps

**Q: Can i order a xxl or a xxxl?  I have larger than most thighs and calves. Xl is too small.**
A: I am not sure abt this .slightly tight feel is not too bad as it stretches slightly and it has Velcro as well to reinforce both top and bottom areas .

**Q: What are the measurements for the donjoy performance bionic drytex hinged knee sleeve?**
A: returned this product because even though I measured following their directions I could not get it on.

**Q: Can this brace be used in water (eg surfing)?**
A: Yes I use mine for surfing to make the brace last adjust slide it on before surfing & slide it off if you keep using the Velcro on & off it will wear out prematurely

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It seems remarkable, but they run very small.
*by M***J on 4 October 2024*

Great product, but sizes are iffy for me. I am a slight person and the S was super tight. The medium is a bit too loose. ugh. but it does seem like a quality product and comes right away.

### ⭐ Great at first, but low quality so doesn't last.
*by M***S on 14 July 2022*

Full disclosure, I use these when Training BJJ, so there's more contact/friction than a lot of potential uses. The design is great, it keeps the knee really stable, allowing for a full range of movement, and it's comfortable. Problem appeared quickly which was that the stitching on the fabric which covers the metal hinge started to wear away. It finally got to the point where I felt I needed to return iot, but that was more than 30 days, so the company won't replace it. Worth noting that they said they wouldn't do that anyway for Amazon orders.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kneee support
*by C***C on 18 August 2026*

Bought for my wife to provide support during our hiking adventures. Think they fit a little tight as we had to return the first one and order the next size up. So far it has given her the support she needs.
