Do you wear it all the time, or just when running (or playing sports)?

the connective tissue holding the patella in place is a bit loose and the patellar strap does the job when I run and when I work out at the gym or hike. For me the problem is not severe, so I do not wear it otherwise. I can picture a person who skied, played football, tennis or other sports that stressed the tendons may choose to (need to) wear it more often. Listen to your knee, it will tell you. This beats the heavy knee wraps that some need to wear.

I would say yes. I mostly wear mine to work. I'm a CNA so at work I'm on my feet with lots of getting up and down and lifting. I'm not a runner, but it's a really nice brace

I wear mine at all times except when I'm sleeping. Have been doing so for at least 6 weeks with no problem.

I don't use mine as much as I should, but when I do use it I don't notice any limitations. But with that being said, I have never used it in an athletic situation (Plus you can always return it if you find it does limit you)

you can wear as long as you want, most of the time i wear it when i'm working out or if i'm doing chores around the house.

I bought this for my son. He says it fits great, and he wears it every day. He would have definitely said something if it was too tight. With Amazon's great return policy, try it. My son wears it to play sports as well as just every day use.

For me it depends. I use it lot in the warmer months when not wearing a coat or jacket. In the winter I use it or a holster on my hip if I'm keeping my jacket on. It's a great option to have.

It is just worn for workout but it is also great to wear when you are going for a walk or something less active like that.

Yes. I like the device; however, don't plan on using it while doing any activity (i.e. running) b/c it fits a little loose.

I wear mine during bowling and exercising at the gym. It gets really sweaty and is okay. Couldn't say what would happen if it got completely wet. Good luck.

It is good when running, the way the case fits, the plastic cover flap overlaps so it doesn't get wet....;)

I wear it all day and it seems to go well. My experience tells me that as long as you don't wear it over sleeping, it should be fine.

I wear it when I run and it helps a little with the pain. It stays in place well, but does make your knees quite sweaty

I think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

Yes, it takes a while of playing with it to wear it in. Once it gets worn in it feels great! Before that it looks almost like a fake rubber basketball.

I wear it when playing golf. It never got too hot or sweaty while playing ( about 3 hrs on). But we did have a cool summer. As far as sleeping with it on, I do not think it is a good idea. Too long a time to have it on. I wear it only when I do an activity that hurts my elbow.
