Customer Testimonials
I stopped skipping the walk
I'd been putting off my morning walk because the first 10 minutes were the worst part. Now I start it tighter and let it out once everything warms up. Small thing, but it got me back out the door.
Wore it through a whole shift
Eleven hours, on my feet most of it. I loosened it twice and never had to take it off. My old sleeve would never.
Got me back in the gym
I tighten it for the leg press and back it off between sets. That's the whole difference. I'm not fighting it for an hour just because I needed it for 2 minutes.
Took a day to get the setting
First afternoon I had it too tight. Once I worked out where my baseline was it's been easy. Sits under trousers fine, which mattered to me more than I expected.
Stairs stopped being a nightmare
Down is worse than up for me. I give it a couple of clicks at the top and that's it.
A bad week is survivable now
There's about 10 days a month where everything hurts more. I just wear it tighter through those and back off after. Doesn't fix the problem, but lets me keep going.
I stopped taking ibuprofen to walk the dog
Not because the pain vanished. Because I can get the loop done without needing something afterwards. That was the whole goal.
Order a size down, they're right about that
I'm between sizes and went down anyway and gladly so. It sits tighter to the leg and doesn't shift at all. I've still got plenty of room left on the dial to tighten it when I need to.
First time I survived a full hike in ages
Six miles, most of the pain is on the way down. I tighten it at the summit and leave it. I used to have to stop because of the pain by the second mile.
My physio was fine with it
I asked before I bought it because I didn't want to undo the work. She looked at it and said it was fine as long as I keep doing the exercises. I'm doing more of them now than I was.
Wore it to a wedding
Under a long dress, nobody knew. Stood for 3 hours. I know that sounds small but it wasn't!
You notice it in August, but I still wear it
It's warmer than going bare-legged, no getting around that. But it's the first one I haven't had to take off by lunch, so it stays on.
I use it for the squat rack, that's it
Two clicks on, two clicks off between sets. Never occurred to me that was even possible. I'm back to loading the bar properly instead of guessing.
Gardening again
Kneeling was the thing I'd given up. Still can't do an hour straight, but I got the beds done over a weekend for the first time in 2 years.
I trust the leg again
Hard to explain. I used to think about the step before I took it, every time, especially going down. I've stopped doing that.
The part nobody mentions
The Waiting Is the Expensive Part
You started the treatment. You had the dose adjusted. And you were told to be patient, because these things take weeks, and sometimes longer.
Meanwhile you're doing less.
Not because you gave up, but because every session costs you days. And everyone keeps repeating the same advice: strength is what protects a joint.
They're right and that's exactly the problem. The thing that would help is what your knee won't let you do.
So the loop runs.
It hurts, so you move less. You move less, so you lose ground. You lose ground, so it hurts more.
This won't break that loop by doing the work for you. It will help you keep loading the leg while the slower things do their job.
The real reason
Your Knee Isn't the Same Size at 6pm as It Was at 8am
Nobody tells you this, but you've felt it.
Your knee is one size when you get out of bed stiff, another once it's warmed up, and another again by the evening.
Add a walk, a set of squats, a long day standing, or the swelling that shows up in the week before your period, and the leg you had in the morning isn't the leg you have in the evening.
A regular sleeve has one setting. It was sized for one moment, and it holds that setting no matter what your leg does for the rest of the day.
It's either too tight when the swelling comes up, or too loose when you actually need it to hold.
SmartFit™ gives you the range instead of the guess. Turn the dial clockwise and the support comes up. Turn it back and it releases.
You do it by hand, in a couple of seconds, without stopping what you're doing and without taking the sleeve off.
One brace covers the whole day instead of a drawer full of them in different sizes.
Firm it up before the stairs. Ease it off when the knee puffs up on a walk. Tighten for the set, release between sets, so you're not strangling your leg for an hour because you needed support for 90 seconds.
Before you buy any knee brace
Check What You Actually Need
Most braces are sold as if every knee problem is the same one. It isn't.
This is a compression and stability brace. It is not an unloader, and it is not a post-operative brace. Here's where it belongs and where it doesn't.
✓ Stairs, descents and getting out of a chair
✓ Walking, hiking and everyday standing
✓ A knee that changes size through the day
✓ Wearing under normal clothes
✓ Strength work where you want support for the set, not the hour
⛌ Protecting a repaired or reconstructed ligament
⛌ Anything your surgeon specified a functional brace for
⛌ Offloading a worn compartment — that's an unloader brace, fitted by a clinician
⛌ Replacing treatment you're already on
NOTE: If you're unsure which side of this you're on, ask the clinician who is already treating you. We don't want you wearing the wrong thing and risking your health and well-being.
Every Feature Has a Purpose
SmartFit™
A regular sleeve is one fixed tension on a knee that changes size all day. It's the same setting when you're stiff first thing, when you've warmed up, and when it's swollen by the evening.
So it's either too tight when the swelling comes up or too loose when you actually need it to hold.
The dial gives you the range instead. Turn it clockwise and the support comes up, turn it back and it releases — by hand, in a couple of seconds, without stopping and without taking the sleeve off.
- Firm it up before the stairs & ease it off on the flat
- Release it when the knee puffs up during a walk
- Tight for the set & slack between sets
- One brace instead of two sizes in your bag
Side Stabilizers
Two flexible supports sit along the sides of the knee and resist sideways movement — the kind that happens when you pivot, twist, or put a foot down wrong on uneven ground without stopping you bending.
They are not a substitute for a ligament, and we won't pretend otherwise.
- Resists lateral movement without blocking flexion
- Flexes with the joint through a full range
- Removable if you want less structure
Patella Gel Ring
Your kneecap glides in a groove. Under eccentric load, like going downstairs, walking downhill, it can track slightly off to the side and press where it shouldn't.
The ring works as a bumper: it keeps the tracking centred and spreads pressure over a wider area instead of one sore point.
- Centres the kneecap under downhill and descent load
- Spreads pressure instead of concentrating it
- Soft edge profile to reduce rubbing over repeated bending
Knit & Profile
Breathable three-layer knit, cut slim enough to disappear under jeans or work trousers.
This matters more than it sounds: a brace you take off because it's hot, bulky or obvious is a brace that isn't supporting anything.
- Sits flat under normal clothing
- Breathable through a full day of wear
- Machine washable & air dry

Three Simple Steps
There's no fitting appointment and no breaking-in period.
Slide it on
Gel ring centred on the kneecap, lower edge on the calf muscle. Ten seconds.
Set your baseline
Turn the dial until the support is present but not gripping. That's your normal setting.
Change it as the day does
Up for the stairs, down when it swells, off only when you're done. You never have to take it off to adjust it.

CLAIM NOWFrequently Asked Questions
Sizing, wear, refunds, and the questions people most ask us.
This is the most common question we get and it deserves a straight answer.
What weakens the leg is not wearing support — it's the pain making you sit down.
Move less, lose muscle; lose muscle, hurt more.
The brace won't do the muscle's job. It will be there so you can keep doing the walking and the strength work you've been told to do and feel supported while you do it.
Two things keep it up.
There's a silicone grip along the top edge to stop it creeping.
And if it does work loose over a long day you turn the dial a click or two rather than stopping to pull it back up.
No, and we don't want it to.
This is mechanical support — it doesn't treat the underlying cause of joint pain and makes no claim to.
It's designed to sit alongside whatever you and your doctor are already doing, not instead of it.
Turn the dial the other way. That's the whole reason it's there.
You can let it out mid-walk without stopping, taking it off or losing your place — and tighten it again once the swelling settles.
Yes. It's cut slim and sits flat.
The dial is low-profile enough that it doesn't catch on a regular trouser leg.
Measure the circumference of your leg about 4 inches (10cm) above the middle of your kneecap, with the leg straight and relaxed, and match it to the chart in the images.
If you're between sizes, go up for a more conservative choice (especially if your leg swells a lot) and go down for a tighter, more intense support.
Choose your side above.
If we send the wrong one, we ship the correct brace immediately and you keep the first.
Many people wear it for a full day.
If any part of your lower leg feels numb, tingly or cold, it's too tight — back the dial off.
Numbness is not support working, it's circulation being restricted.
Only if your surgeon says so.
This is not a functional post-operative brace and it is not designed to protect a repaired ligament.
Ask the clinician managing your recovery before wearing it.
