I wear a large in a DonJoy knee brace, would I be best suited getting a large or x-large in these?

I got the large - they seem to be fine - you don't want them loose it's a pain - I slo use them for warmers when I bike on cool days!

i would recommend a large, they stretch and come with a sizing chart when you buy them . they are very durable and lasted all football season and still are ready for more.

It doesn't hurt to be a little loose so others can use it if they are larger than you. However, if you plan to use it a lot the luxury of having a perfect fit Obrien is certainly nice, until you gain weight. I'd go with a large if I was you, even though you sound like a medium.

Unless you plan on losing weight, I would buy the large. The adjusters work pretty well.

I think XL will work. Since these tend to expand on use within a week, the XL may expand. Large will be a bit tight and you may cramp frequently.

If I were you I would get the large. That's what I got and you can still tighten it. It works fine. I use it often and it helps my hip and lower back as well.

Measure around the leg over top of the kneecap and order according to the size chart shown. The brace is shaped to accommodate the shape of the leg. At least it worked fine for me.

I followed the instructions for measuring my knee around the center and ordered a regular based on a 16" knee. When it arrived the knee part felt fine but my thigh was too large for it to even begin to connect to the Velcro. I am now in the process of trying to figure out what size to try next...large or extra large. The quality of the brace seems to be very good and of course, how can you beat Amazon's excellent service!

my knee measures 15 1/2" and a size L knee brace fits comfortably. I can wear the brace all day with no discomfort. Even after washing the brace, it stays true to size.

I think a large would be good, they stretch around so they are pretty versatile.

I would go with the large. If you go to big you will have too much wrap around.

The XXL is sized for 43cm which should be good for a snug fit. I purchased one size smaller than recommended and am glad I did. They will stretch some with wear and sweat and being the thinner neoprene knee supports they have a lot more give. Also as they stretch over time you can hand or machine wash (gentle cycle) and air dry and they will return to their original size and be snug again. Hope this helps.

My calves are 14.5 and I got the large and they fit me. I'm not sure how big the x-large get, but you may be right.

I would get a large. You want a snug fit And the neoprene does have some give.

A Large if you use it for short durations when weightlifting. An X-Large if you plan to use for work.

My brace from my doctor was xl and kept slipping. I changed to a large and got a perfect fit with the McDavid Pro. Works great.

I dont know michael. I think most importantly it's going to come down to your tolerance and what you need from a brace in order to feel support. Myself I like things tighter than looser when it comes to my knee so i opted smaller.

I haven't worn a DonJoy; however, the construct of this brace was similar. My only complaint would be the fit because it is difficult to measure properly. I had much better results when I was measured by a professional at a medical supply store.
