Review: Snug fit but very well constructed and effective for my needs. - I’ve been diagnosed with a torn meniscus, but am trying to hold off on having surgery. I am an avid pickleball player (3-4 sessions a week for a total of 9-11 hours of playing time) and at the onset of the problem I was lucky if I could play one session for a couple of hours a week. While I am not pain-free, this brace has enabled me to mostly get back to the level of activity I was at before the pain began. I had tried a number of drug store braces with minimal success and found the lifespan of those braces tended to be fairly limited before they started coming apart. This brace is built much sturdier and sure seems likely to last much longer than those less expensive braces. I like the Drytex as it is lighter and cooler than the neoprene of other braces I had used. The sizing does run on the small size. According to the sizing guide I was a clear Medium. The braces (I’m wearing one on each knee) are very, very snug. They do seem to stretch out a bit with use, but remain snug. Not uncomfortably snug, but enough so that it takes some work putting them on and especially taking them off when I’ve been sweating. Personally, I feel like the tightness of fit gives me an extra feeling of stability for the knee, but I’m sure some people would find the fit bothersome. If you think you would be so inclined then you may want to order a size larger than the sizing chart indicates.
Review: Highly Recommend this knee brace - I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised with how well this brace worked out for me. I originally had a custom made brace after knee surgery several years ago and still have lingering issues. That original brace no longer fits and has deteriorated severely. I purchased two of these braces for support and to protect my other knee from damage due to compensating for the knee that had the surgery. With both braces on, I have been up and down ladders hanging Xmas decorations with little to no issues. I would highly recommend these braces.

## 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
