Needing a brace is uncomfortable %26 never a flawless solution. But if you have ligament issues or your knee shifts around, this brace is for you! It's only been 2 weeks but so far, I'm very happy with this product. Quality, durable materials %26 structurally sound. The built in hinges %26 open design at the back of the knee allows maximum flexibility. Plenty of cushion for the knee cap %26 the center straps provide extra security that nothing will shift out of place. This is the most comfortable, affordable brace I've found that does what I need it to do. I plan to purchase another soon as it's too early to know the longevity of this product, but know well enough my future discomfort depends on this brace
