Not that great

I had problems with my ITB and this thing did not work. I knee brace with a whole for the kneecap worked much better. Don't waste your money.

Fits Well...Works Fair for me

I've had IT Band syndrome for over 2.5 years, but was only led to that diagnosis recently. I decided to try this product after reading some good reviews.

The fit is great, and it is a comfortable wrap; it definitely stays where you put it while you are running. Unfortunately for me, I have noticed only minimal support, but that may be because I have abnormally tight IT bands. Perhaps it will be more effective as I continue to stretch them out and massage out the scar tissue.

Irritation and break-out on legs

I walk about six miles a day on my job and I don't believe these are intended to wear for an eight hour shift(40 hours a week). The material next to your skin is rubber (does not breath) and causes irritation and break outs that take forever to go away. Itches like crazy! This product does support and relieve leg pain, but I would not recommend this brand to others who need to wear on a regular basis. Another employee bought these also and had the same problem that I did, so it's the product, not the user. I recommend a product that 'breathes' as a better alternative to these.

so far so good

I received this item a couple of weeks ago and ran already twice or three times with it. No issues, I actually feel the knee and IT band are well supported by the pressure it makes. My 1st impression was that the item was low quality, but actually the material needs to more flexible than, for example, jumper's knees bands (patellar) because this way it can be fixed over the knee. Perhaps my only complain is that the compression area could be bigger, it's just a small square and kind of soft. On the bright side is the little manual that comes enclosed, it has some explanation on the problem and suggestions for stretching exercises.

Good product

This is a good product. Worked well for me. However, after more than a few miles, it did start to slip as my leg started to sweat with the band around my leg.
