Great brace
Wore it for a couple days and my knee felt like new. Thanks for the fast shipping!
Good Brace For Chondromalacia
I just bought another McDavid neoprene patella knee support with the spring steel stays on the sides to help my kneecap pain. I've had chondromalacia for about 15 years from bicycling and hiking so I've always had patella pain to deal with. This 421 is affordable and does a good job for the price. I purchased the size small and had to return it it for the size medium - the exchange was easy. Great company to deal with here
Mcdavid 421 - Good patella support
The McDavid 421 is exactly what I was looking for in patella knee support. I've suffered from tendonitis for many years and found McDavid knee braces to be very high quality. I bought two of the McDavid 421R last year and wore them virtually 5-6 days a week. I found the large to be true to the sizing chart. The buttress does a good job of supporting the patella to reduce pain.
Very Happy
This is the McDavid patella knee support that most of my buddies use in the gym and for basketball. The neoprene material is very good quality and the straps provide compression. My knee pain has improved at least 60% since using this device.
JJ
For mild knee arthritis this brace works really well I got this McDavid neoprene patella knee support with spring steel stays on the sides to give me support with walking and it does a good job. It fit well and keeps my knee supported well. I got the large size and it was a perfect fit. Recommended.
Sizing Not An Issue
The sizing was not an issue as some reviewers have mentioned.I got a small and the initial fit was excellent. The strap was easy to pull tight on the top and bottom. The McDavid 421 support is sufficient for a mild knee sprain that I had recently sufered.
Mcdavid 521 - Five Stars
Worked as expected and advertised. Great product!
Great Mcdavid patella knee support
After trying many different supports, I haven't found a better brace that gives me support with Tae Kwon Do and is as comfortable as this one. The other braces either slide down while sweating, they open up, or they just do not allow free leg movement. This mcdavid patella knee support provides me with excellent support for my knees. This is just a lot better than other knee pads I've used. You are're getting an excellent product with this one. I hope you benefit from it like I have.
