- Why We Like It
Designed to deliver customizable support and stability, this hinged knee brace is ideal for daily use, injury recovery, and protection against re-injury. Made with a breathable neoprene blend, the brace features two removable 9.5” aluminum hinges on each side to provide superior lateral support while still allowing natural movement.
The open patella design relieves pressure on the kneecap and ensures the brace stays in place, while the four-strap Velcro system offers a secure, adjustable fit. Suitable for both left and right knees, the brace accommodates a wide range of sizes with strong anti-slip fasteners for reliable comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
This one has two removable 9.5-inch aluminum hinges, one each side, and fits thighs up to 29 inches in the 2XL. The Heavy Duty is built for heavier loads and larger sizes. If you're under about 250 lb and the Universal or XL fits, this is the right brace. If you're above that or the 2XL is tight, go Heavy Duty.
Hinges resist sideways movement. That's what a ligament injury needs (MCL, LCL, after ACL work). Spring splints add gentle support without locking anything, better for arthritis, general instability or a knee that feels weak rather than injured. If a doctor said the word 'ligament', you want hinges.
Measure around your thigh 5 inches above the kneecap, and around your calf 5 inches below. Universal fits 12-18 inches, X-Large 18-25, 2X-Large 25-29. The brace's top maximum is 20 inches and bottom maximum 18. The patella opening is 1.75 inches.
Yes. They slide out. Do that for washing, and some people wear it hinge-free as a compression sleeve on lighter days. It fits either knee.
No. It's a neoprene blend inside with a nylon and spandex outer, and it contains latex. If you have a latex sensitivity, look at the Open-Patella brace instead.
Four straps with anti-slip fasteners hold it. Reviewers describe it as staying secure while walking and being easy to adjust. If it slides, you're likely in the wrong size. Measure rather than guess.
Remove both aluminum hinges, machine wash cold, air dry. Put the hinges back only when it's completely dry.
