I have been nursing a torn meniscus and grade 2 ACL since January( about five months now) and I ordered this brace early on around month 1. It has been my go to brace for the last several months. It seems pretty simple design but I have tried at least seven other knee braces, including one that was custom fit at my orthopedic surgeons office— yet this one from Amazon is the only one I have been able to wear to get any support for my knee. The custom fit brace from my surgeon’s office hurts my knee even worse upon standing immediately. The other tried offered little to no support at all of the knee, I’ve tried them all in multiple sizes and yet here we are— this brace is absolutely best by far. I’ve been trying to naturally rehab my knee with physical therapy, time and healing. I could not do it without this brace so I am ordering a second one finally deciding that it doesn’t get better than this for the support I need. My meniscus is torn at the root and in multiple places and the ACL is grade 2. I am getting better and this brace has been very helpful to give me just the added support and the flexibility still while wearing it to move my knee in a natural way without too much restriction, but yet adequate support in the right places. When I wear the brace, at the end of the day, my knee has less inflammation and pain I find there has been no issue with the fit as the straps are adjustable and I have had to order up in sizes on other braces and still struggle to find the right fit, but with this brace, it just works perfectly for my size and my condition. It is easy to slip on and off. It has a back stretchy band that keeps the knee brace in place even though I have a baker cyst on the back of my knee, I still find this brace comfortable with this design. Sometimes I will slip the brace down around my shin and ankle area while Propping my leg up under my desk at work and find it convenient that when it’s time to stand up I only need to slide the brace back up, fasten the straps and go. I highly recommend this brace and I’m done searching. This is the one! It has gotten me through the last five months and I foresee it continuing to do so for as long as I need.

I have dislocated my kneecap hundreds of times since the original injury and severe dislocation 21 years ago. I realize this sounds insane and like no one would just keep popping their patella back into place every time it goes out for 21 years, never seeking further medical attention for the issue, especially as it continued to happen with increasing frequency. It's now at the point where it pops out at least once every month or two. Well, I have never claimed to be sane, and in my defense, the doctor I saw for the original injury said that I dislocated it so hard that it left permanent grooves in the cartilage underneath, and because of that, they would act as tracks and it would just keep dislocating, but there was nothing to be done for it. If you are wondering why I didn't seek a second opinion, it's because he was the second opinion...

Anyway, on to the brace... My knee has finally gotten so bad that I can't let it go any longer and am going to see an orthopedist again. I'm pretty sure the soft tissue is so damaged that it's virtually useless. I have tried almost every style of brace on the market (except the really expensive ones), and none of them have offered enough support in the right places and been comfortable to wear for any period of time... But then I found THIS brace!! I hadn't even realized how much pain my knee was constantly in until I put this brace on!

1) The inner silky sleeve which protects your leg from rubbing on the outer fabric, and is also breathable and moisture wicking is a complete game changer! One would think such a small detail would be insignificant, but in terms of comfort and wearability it makes all the difference in the world!

2) The outer fabric is thinner and more light weight than most neoprene braces, making it more slim and comfortable, while still providing good compression and support. Also, the entire outside can be used to stick the velcro to, thus allowing you to position the straps exactly where you need them to be for optimal support.

3) The 2 extra patella support bands are AMAZING!!! They work far better than I ever could have imagined at keeping everything in alignment, and applying just enough pressure to give stability and relieve pain, without being too tight or uncomfortable, as they are fully adjustable.

4) The side supports are great! They definitely offer necessary added stability. The brace does limit your range of motion some, but that's really the whole point of a brace, since too great of movements will only lead to further injury and damage of an already weak or hurt area.

Hands down, this the the absolute best brace ever!!! The price isn't much higher than your generic designs, and it is well worth it! (Also, I visited the retailers store and received a 25% off coupon to use on Amazon for any of their products, so that was helpful). But even at full price it's worth it. No other brace is designed quite as well, or offers the special features this one does. Plus, it is from a small business in the UK, designed by a guy determined to make a brace which would assist him with his own knee problems. The thought and care that went into making it is really evident, from construction to fit and function. It also comes with a 12 month warranty, and they send a paper with their contact info encouraging anyone who has an issue for any reason to contact them for resolution. They seem to be a good company who truly cares about their products and helping people. I very highly recommend that anyone with knee issues get this brace.

The only suggestion I would make is for them to also make this in a plus sized version. Last year a medication I was put on caused A LOT of very rapid weight gain. Happily, stopping the med has reversed the process. But, had I tried to get this brace last year, it would not have fit my leg. Heavier people tend to have more joint problems, but there is a serious lack of good, affordable plus sized options of braces. I strongly encourage this company to fill that need. I am going to write to them regarding this issue. If you get this brace, or if you are a plus sized person whom this brace will not fit, I suggest that you also write to the company regarding this issue. I'm sure if enough people do it they will see there is a need and will work to fill it.

Thank you for reading my long winded review. I hope you found it to be helpful.

Once more for good measure... BUY THIS BRACE!!! (you won't regret it).

Namaste.

The knee brace is good quality and feels comfortable once you put it on. It gives solid support and helps take pressure off the knee during walking or activity. The straps adjust easily and it stays in place without sliding down which is important for something like this.

Just something to know before buying is that it is only one knee brace per box not a pair. So if you need both knees supported you have to buy two separate ones which basically doubles the cost. The product itself is fine but that part should be more clear up front because it can be confusing when ordering. Overall decent brace just make sure you know you are getting only one

This knee brace is a game-changer. The cross-strapping design and reinforced side supports lock it perfectly in place — no sliding, no bunching, no readjusting mid-activity. Once it’s on, it stays on.

Comfort-wise, it punches well above its class. The material breathes surprisingly well, keeping heat buildup to a minimum even during longer wear. You almost forget it’s there.

Construction feels solid and durable — the stitching, straps, and support panels all have a premium, well-engineered feel that inspires confidence it’ll hold up long-term.

If you’ve struggled with braces that slip or overheat, this one solves both problems without compromise.

Best knee brace ever so I bought 2. My other brace only had 2 straps and I am always having to pull it up and adjust it. This brace has 4 straps and stays in place all day and night. The way the brace wraps and supports my knee is unmatched. This had to be made by someone who actually needed it and wore it. I really can't say enough about this brace and how well it works.

I've used this Exous brace for a few days and have a problem with it. Whatever side isn't attached to the patella straps creases and folds under itself during wearing. I use the brace upside down so that the patella straps will support the inside of my damaged knee. That puts the excess fabric being folded on the outside of my knee, which is not comfortable, and it leaves deep creases in my skin, both at the top and bottom. If this brace came in sizes, there wouldn't be extra fabric and the folding problem wouldn't exist. So, I will have to keep looking for a daily knee brace that comes in sizes and has better lateral support.

Very nice brace and very comfortable. I received this yesterday and have taken several walks and even went out and hit a bucket of golf balls at the range. Definitely can feel the difference. Stays in place very well and actually helps my knee that has arthritis. Glad I purchased this brace.

Brace fit perfectly, the first one that I bought that stays in place! It supports my whole knee, and gives my ACL damage the support I need to rehabilitate!

Perfect fit and doesn’t skim off because of the multiple layers of straps.

This knee brace is great for those who have problems with patella pain and also instability around the medial or lateral ligaments. The way it works is quite unique it has 4 straps which actually kind of wrap themselves all around your knee. It gives an incredible sense of support. I like the way you can adjust each strap which helps getting the fit just as you need. There are flexible coils on both the medial and lateral sides of the knee brace which really works well in combination with how you strap up the support. I can’t really explain it any better than that. It really stays put as well too many other types of knee braces I have used and you may also find this your self if you are a chronic knee pain sufferer that all too often they can slip very quickly. This particular design does exactly as it says on the product description it stays in place and gives fantastic support to both sides of the knee. The reason I bought it was for the patella support, the small cross over straps which over and under the knee cap is really good in reducing the pain as it helps push the patella tendon down when it's a bit inflamed and has a patella band like effect giving me some pain relief.

I see that the EX-701 by exousbodygear has been selling for a number of years on other amazon market places. I saw they had over 1600 5 star review from usa to Uk and even in Europe, so I thought about looking further and after reading them and also watching a lot of you youtube videos on the ex-701 I decided to buy once I saw the difference from the other knee braces on the market. I was looking for a knee brace that specifically gave a much better support to the ones I have tried to date. This is exactly what I was looking for the way the knee brace fits gives incredible support all over my knee. I need patella support as I have a mild case of jumpers knee so with rehab and physio settles down but I need a band and pressure on the patella when I exercise. This knee brace does exactly that is really gives a nice flexible support that stays put when I do my exercise and I love that.

The brace is really adjustable in every place which is more so than other styles out there its also quite lightweight and easily wearable under clothes.

I have used it several times now from helping to do knee rehab exercises (angled squats) and also it is very good to run in, it stays in place for a good 15 min, normally i have to adjust other ones every few minutes this one does really stay put.

Def worth buying - one thing is you have to make sure you fit the guidelines I emailed the brand as they have the measurements only in inches and not metric so a little working out but other than that superb!

Exactly what I needed! The knee brace stays where I need it to and the documentation and instructions given with the knee brace were excellent. There are really good user guid videos on the company's you tube channel which shows how best to fit it and also why it is different to the other standard knee braces.

Makes my day wearing this brace and I can’t recommend it enough.

Easy to put on and ok comfort. Not very stable or supportive though.
