Incrediwear Knee Sleeve Review
Comfort: 10
Stability: 5
Protection: 5
Durability: 10
Review:
The Incrediwear knee sleeve is a high quality product offering small amounts of support to the knee cap but a great compressive feel. This knee sleeve doesn't prioritise stability and support like the Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 however it does offer better mobility and comfort. The changes in material and direction of the pattern around the knee cap provide some support to stabilise the patella. It also has a thicker strip of material running down both sides of the brace to offer some minor medial and lateral support. In reality, this is not a brace that offers high levels of protection, but it does provide warmth and firmness for minor patella tracking issues. The warmth also gives the body its best chance of healing the damaged areas. I found that this helped particularly in the early stages of the session when my knee was at its most sore. This brace offers tight compression throughout the whole profile which does help provide some support to the knee while being very comfortable.
This material felt extremely comfortable and retained its firm compression over multiple seasons. I found that this was the most comfortable brace I have worn and helped most when my knee issues were minor. The material had no faults as it got older - no tears or overstretching - making it extremely durable. The best part about this brace was that it is machine washable helping keep it fresh throughout the years of use. The material was quite breathable while still allowing enough heat to be maintained to have positive pain relief effects without retaining large amounts of sweat. This is a very durable brace that will last many seasons making it good investment.
The Incrediwear knee sleeve comes in a range of sizes from M to XXL and fits true to size. Its great feel combined with its tight compressions makes it a great fit for all body shapes and sizes.
Overall, this is an extremely comfortable brace that offers good compression to the knee joint and a great feel. The protection and support provided is minimal which suits players with minor knee injuries or those that are after a more mobile brace.
Rating: 7.5/10
Pros
Extremely comfortable material and structure
Very durable & long lasting brace
Wide range of sizes
Cons
Not much additional stability provided which results in less knee protection
Very expensive brace but it is a quality brand
My verdict: I found that this was a very comfortable knee sleeve that kept my knee warm and offered great mobility. There was very minimal protection and stability provided however it was extremely durable. If you are after a knee sleeve with small amounts of support but more of a compression feel, this is for you!
Value: $160 AUD - On the expensive side but top quality material and manufacturing that will last a long time.
