Who Can Make Gains With the McDavid Knee Sleeve?

Our knees are hugely important for most sports, so even minor injuries can make it hard to start exercising again, both physically and psychologically. With compressive support and an anatomical sleeve design, this brace can give you the extra support and peace of mind needed to get back on the pitch or track. If you're looking to continue playing sport while dealing with conditions like arthritis or bursitis, it's a great option too.

Which Size Should I Choose?

This McDavid Knee Support is supplied in five sizes to suit most knees. To find your best fit, please measure the circumference of your knee as shown in the diagram below, then find the appropriate size from the table below.

Our Sizing Tips

• For measurements that fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for greater levels of comfort
• The brace is meant to be compressive and will feel tight as a result; if you would prefer less tightness, please select a larger size
• If you do not have a flexible tape measure, take your measurements with a piece of string, then measure the string with a ruler
• If your joints swell, please take this into account when choosing your size

McDavid's High-Performance Neoprene

For their Neoprene Knee Supports, McDavid use a non-petroleum neoprene variant with an advanced cell structure. This makes it specially engineered to improve performance in the following ways:

• Superior compression stretch
• Greater therapeutic insulation
• A lighter build, without sacrificing support
• Longer-lasting comfort

Can I Play Sports with the McDavid Knee Support?

As a Level 1 Protection Device, this McDavid Knee Brace isn't too restrictive, supporting your knee without limiting its range of movement too much. This means you can play sports while wearing the brace without drastically impacting your movement. Perfect for running, kicking and jumping!

Open Patella Design

The open patella design of the brace prevents poor alignment and encourages healthier positioning as you move. An open patella support works better if you need to wear a brace for long periods or if you are exercising, as it forces the patella to stay central and maximises breathability when sweating.

Anatomical Design with Seamless Back of Knee

In order to keep your knee comfortable and interrupt your natural movement as little as possible, the McDavid Brace is anatomically shaped and has no seam on the back of the knee where the joint hinges. You'll feel the support of the brace, without annoying discomfort as you move.
