Between two sizes? Take the smaller one - a support needs to sit snug to give you the compression that does the work.

How to measure

Start the measurement with your knee slightly bent. Find the center of the kneecap and go from there in a straight line to the outside of your knee. Measure the circumference 14cm towards the upper body (A) and below the kneecap (B).

I have spent four days walking in the Pyrenees - previously walking downhill has been a real problem for me but wearing my knee supports significantly reduced the pain.

What a trip, Sue! Thank you for your review. It's brilliant to hear your Outdoor Knee Supports took the sting out of the downhill sections in the Pyrenees. Happy walking from all of us. The Bauerfeind Team

Have long term problem with osteoarthritis of the knee that really limits what outdoor activities I can do. I’ve just used one of these to climb Ben Nevis. The knee is slightly swollen afterwards but no significant pain. The support has helped a lot

Great support.

Having tried so many supports over the years this is by far the best. My only comment would be to add a strap across the top of the support (upper thigh)

I’ve been using this knee support mainly for tennis and jogging, and while it does provide a good sense of stability and protection, it comes with some serious drawbacks.

The first thing I noticed is how heavy and bulky it is. My movements felt restricted, which is frustrating during activities that require agility and quick motion. It does make me feel safe, so I can see the benefit in using it for high-impact sports like skiing, where stability matters more than flexibility.

Another big issue is comfort, the material gets very hot, especially during longer workouts or runs, and it starts to feel suffocating. The color is a letdown — it looks like old underwear. Please, make it black.

In short, it’s too heavy and uncomfortable for everyday sports, but I’ll hang on to it for winter use on the slopes (where no one can see the horrible color and if it's hot it's not a problem). Not recommended for dynamic or warm-weather activities.

Hi Grazia,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review!

I'm sorry to ehar about the issues you've had with this product, but I think I have the solution. You've been using our Outdoor Knee Support which is design for low temperatures and prolonged low intesnsity exercise (e.g Hiking). It's made from Merino wool so it has greater insulation properties than our sports bracings which would explain why it gets so hot during sport. It's also heavier as it is designed for prolonged use.

The more suitable product for yourself would be our Sports Knee Support. It's more flexible, lighterweight and features our airknit technology to keep you cool.

If you would like to reach out to the team, we'd be happy to swap this for you, or give you a discount on a Sports Support if you'd like to keep this one for the slopes.

Kind regards
BF Customer Service.

Common questions

The things people ask us most before ordering.

What happens if I order the wrong size?

Send it back within 30 days for a full refund, or email orders@jointoperations.co.uk and we'll swap it for the right size.

Measuring before you order is the quickest route - the size finder on this page turns two tape-measure numbers into a size in about twenty seconds.

Can I wear it under clothing?

Yes. The knit is low-profile and designed to sit under trousers, leggings or a tracksuit without bunching. Most people wear it all day without anyone noticing.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with any fasteners closed. No fabric softener and no tumble drying - dry it flat, away from direct heat.

Washing it regularly actually helps: it lifts the body oils out of the knit and the compression holds its shape for longer.

How long should I wear it for?

Most people wear a support during activity and take it off to sleep. If a clinician recommended it to you, follow their guidance - they'll have a plan for your particular situation.

If you've bought it yourself for ongoing pain and you're not sure, it's worth getting the underlying problem looked at rather than relying on the support alone.

When will it arrive?

Standard delivery takes 3-4 working days and is free on orders over £95. Order before 12:30pm Monday to Thursday for next-day delivery.

Orders placed before 12:30pm on a working day are dispatched the same day; after the cut-off, or at the weekend, they go out on the next working day.

Can I claim it back on insurance or through work?

Some private health policies and occupational health schemes cover orthopaedic supports when they've been recommended by a clinician. We can send an itemised VAT invoice for your claim - just email us with your order number.

Can I buy wholesale for my clinic or shop?

Yes. We're the UK distributor for Bauerfeind, and we supply retailers, clinics, pharmacies and physiotherapy practices directly. Send us a trade enquiry and we'll come back with pricing and account terms.
