Looks like a nice product, but the sizing is not consistent with their chart.
Pity they do not make x small

I am incredibly impressed with the POWERLIX Leg Sleeve! After carefully reading the size chart, I fell between medium and large and chose medium, but it was a bit tight. I contacted customer support, and they quickly processed an order for a large sleeve with no hassle at all! Even with the medium, the knee support was excellent, but the large fit perfectly. The compression provides just the right amount of stability and comfort for my knee, and it’s been fantastic for running and other activities. The quality of the product is top-notch, and the outstanding customer service makes this purchase even more worthwhile. Highly recommend this knee brace to anyone looking for support and pain relief!

I run a long distance and have recently developed a severe “runner’s knee” on both sides of my knees. I already have Osgood-Schlatter disease on my left knee which I also fractured (and has healed) last year, so realized that I’d need a good knee support if I run more than 10 miles.
I have tried THREE (3) knee support braces/compression sleeves including “PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve” for that purpose, and wanted to list them for comparison.
(1) Breg “FreeRunner”. Formerly prescribed for the fracture and designed for an athlete/runner to help with their rehab. It did a great job staying in place during my 13-mile run. But it did NOT completely keep my knee pain-free as it normally would with stairs and biking. I started to feel the same discomfort –> disturbing pain around 10 miles. The brace is bulky so occasionally rubbed against the other thigh – which is a big NO-NO.
(2) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (this product): This is a BRACE that is in a form of a compression sleeve. It holds my kneecap in place, protects my Osgood-Schlatter bump (bone protrusion), prevents abnormal gait due to the uneven pulls by the thigh muscles, keeps the optimal temperature inside, allows FULL range of motion. I can flex my knee all the way. It is nice and tight but never uncomfortable.
I wore this on my problem left knee and ran a full marathon race this past weekend. It stayed on without ever sliding/rolling down or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles and I did not have to worry or think about it. Most importantly – Absolutely NO PAIN during and post race. I was SO amazed.
(3). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace: this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did also an amazing job in protecting my right knee which was suffering runner’s knee. It fits like your favorite compression knee-high sock with no limit in movement and is definitely a more comfortable wear than PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (#2). But the anti-slip grips of this knee sleeve at the top is tighter than PowerLix’s and may feel a bit too tight. It is however never uncomfortable and the sleeve stayed on without rolling or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles. It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race.
[OVERALL]
Both “PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve” (this product) & “Physix Gear Knee Support Brace” did an amazing job and are highly recommended for long-distance runners. They stabilize the knee joint and prevent pain/inflammation by right support and compression but never restrict the movement or stop the blood flow – even for hours!
*Sizing: I took the measurements 4 & 5 inches above the top of the BENT KNEE in a sitting position. They fell between 15.3 -15.7 inch. So according to the sizing chart provided by the company, I got a MEDIUM for “PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve” and a SMALL for “Physix Gear Knee Support Brace”. They fit perfectly.
*Length: According to the product specification, “PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve” is a bit longer than “Physix Gear Knee Support Brace”. But due to the very firm fabric of PoweLix and very stretchy fabric of Physix, Physix knee sleeve ends up slightly taller than PoweLix when I wore them.
*Color: Grey/Black for PowerLix (this product) is almost entirely black (see photo – upper right). It doesn’t look like the product photo on this webpage and thought I got a wrong product! Not sure about Blue which I didn’t get.
I hope they both last long!!! Thank you for reading my long review 🙂

I’m still using POWERLIX Leg Sleeve (this product) and have run 7 marathons and hundreds of runs with them since the first purchase in 2018. Nothing wrong with running with knee braces although some sports experts may preach that you need to train your own muscles and correct your form and such. You’ve got your personal reasons for needing special support for your knees, and these sleeves do the job. I replace the sleeves every year and am on #5 🙂

This is a great sleeve if you need several hours of support for light to medium activity. Super comfortable.
However, I use a tighter sleeve made by Incrediwear if I have to bend my knee for short periods of time such as working on lawn sprinklers, floor tiles, etc.

I purchased two of these and they offer nice compression. I have arthritis on both knees and they offer very good support. Issue, and why I have it at three stars, is that on one of the sleeves the rubber grips which help keep the sleeves on/from slipping is already coming off one of the sleeves. Not even two weeks of full use.

Elegí la talla acorde a la tabla que proporcionan. Del muslo queda perfecta, aunque de la rodilla un poco floja, pero cumple la función. El material es de gran calidad

Well built and comfortable to wear all day.

I needed a small amount of knee support for my left leg when running or doing inclines on the treadmill. This compression sleeve fits well and doesn’t move while exercising. It has eliminated the pain I was getting during and after treadmill workouts.
The quality of the sleeve seems ok, but not great. I wash it once a week and allow it to air dry. It seems to have gotten a little tighter after washing, but still fits well.
I would recommend this sleeve based on price and fit. The quality could be better, but time will tell how long it lasts.

I’ve been using the Knee Brace/sleeve for weeks now, as needed, and I’m impressed with its performance. As a regular runner, I’ve struggled with knee pain/discomfort and instability, especially on longer runs or during 5Ks where I over exert myself and lose form to make for better time. This brace has made a significant difference.
*Pros:*
1. *Excellent Support:* The brace provides firm, comfortable support without feeling too restrictive.
2. *Reduced Pain:* My knee pain has decreased noticeably, allowing me to run longer distances without discomfort.
3. *Breathable Material:* The moisture-wicking fabric keeps my knee dry and cool during intense runs.
4. *Flexible Fit:* Stretchy material makes for an easy fit without losing support or form.
5. *Durable:* Well-made and shows no signs of wear after repeated use.
*Cons:*
1. *Initial Discomfort:* Took some time to get used to wearing a brace while running.
*Recommendation:*
If you’re a runner struggling with knee issues, I highly recommend this Knee Brace. It’s a game-changer for stability and pain relief. And it’s become a must have for my longer runs, ensuring my knee is in great condition to run again the very next day. While it may take some getting used to, the benefits far outweigh any initial discomfort.
*Would I buy again?* Absolutely!
