Rating:  - Surprising support
I bought a pair because my knees ache a little when I climb stairs and I had plans to hike Grand Canyon. I was amazed that my knees did not hurt at all hiking down 7.5 miles. My joints were slightly sore afterward when I removed the straps and walked around, but it was hardly noticeable. I highly recommend these straps - they save a lot of discomfort for the price.
Rating:  - Excellent for no matter what shape you are in!!
I purchased this product because I am over weight and just starting to run. This product has been EXCELLENT for the running I have been doing and most importantly, it stays in place. My knees do not hurt after exercising and the pain I used to feel is now gone. I even did lunges with this on and it stayed put. Just be sure to get the right size!!! I had to order this item two times before getting the right size but once I got the fit, it felt GREAT!!
Rating: - wow!
When i received this, i thought there is no way this will work. Usually the day after sports, my knee kills me and i have to hobble to get around. I wore this and my knee feels great.
update 5/21/08 - the elastic is starting to get looser, so i have to crank the band on, but it still works. If i have to replace this item every year, i still feel it is a great value. I have no idea how it works, but it does. if you have knee pain after excercise, it is definitely worth a try!
Rating:  - Costly mistake
I had high hopes after reading the reviews here, and decided to purchase 2 of these. The positive of these straps is that they stay on very well. The slip thru buckle and velcro stay on very well.
Everyone gave it a 5, why am I giving it a 2 star rating? First, I should say it seems okay for regular exercising. But I use these primarily to play basketball and volleyball competitively; which requires a lot of explosion, from jumping and lateral movement. The problem with these straps ... Read More
Rating: - It's kept me running marathons for 10 years
Diagnosed with patellar tendonitis in 1997. I used the Cho-Pat strap for a while but it sometimes slipped, particularly when worn over running tights. And I had to keep removing it and binding it increasingly tighter to maintain the effect and keep it in the correct position. The Pro-Tec stays up almost no matter what (deep knee bends will dislodge it) whether wearing shorts or lightweight or heavy running tights. Eventually the neoprene fails, the stitching comes out, and it loses its grippy surface, ... Read More
