A lightweight compression knee brace for footballers who already know their niggle. It is not a hinged medical brace and it is not a diagnosis. It is a sleeve you pull on for training and matches when the joint feels loose on the stairs the morning after, or when you want extra warmth and proprioception around the kneecap. The knit is close-fitting so it sits under match shorts without a bulge.

Sizes run S through XXXL. Measure around the knee, not the thigh. Too small cuts in and goes numb. Too large slides and you will hate it by minute twenty. Wear it for sessions, not for sleeping. Stop if numbness or pins-and-needles start. If the knee locks, swells, or gives way, see a clinician; this product will not fix a ligament injury.

Shop the brace from Recovery when protection and socks are already sorted. Pair with wall sits, step-ups, and not jumping straight back into two matches a week after a rest. It does not replace a moulded Shinplex shin pad. Free UK shipping over £45. Wash cold, air-dry, no fabric softener.
