Anybody ever wear one of these while cycling (road)? I need something that will especially not grind away at the back of my knee.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

It does pinch behind knee a little with normal wear Would probably not work for cycling.

No but have hiked up steep mountains with step and boulders, etc. and have not had an issue.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

Its not the most comforable one ive tried... Not sure there is a really comfy one. They are all hard on your knee.

I got a playmaker which reponded to my leg measurements. It ended up being too small. My knee was in such pain that I strapped it on and wore it one day anyway. MISTAKE!! I called trying to send this one back to exchange for a larger one. They would not exchange it since I'd worn it once. So if you get one be sure to try it on and if it doesn't fit, put it right back in the bag no matter how badly your knee hurts.

Hello, I haven't worn them all night, but I have noticed how much warmer my knees feel when I go outside, and I live in Fairbanks, AK. They made a big difference a couple of weeks ago when it was 28 below, and I wouldn't go outside without them now. I do wear them at work for 9-1/2 hours, and find them comfortable, warm and I haven't had a problem with them for that length of time. I bought them mostly for support, but do find they give added warmth outside in the cold. This is the best answer I can give you.

Other than a downhill mtb full face helmet or a motocross helmet I'd say these are the next best thing but I've never hit my head riding a bicycle to be honest. I feel safe in this though for XC mtb. I've had concussions racing motocross

Try the Moon Saddle MoonSaddle C-ModelIt looks odd, and on an outdoor bicycle it takes a little getting used to, but once you try it, you'll never go back. It should fit on this Assault. I have a large box with about 10 different sizes and shapes of saddles that all failed to deliver in terms of riding comfort. I never had one that wasn't painful after 30 minutes. The first day I tried the Moon Saddle, I went for a 2 hour bike ride with no discomfort whatsoever!

Probably I wear an extra large bike helmet and works for me. May be a little stretched and not so comfortable. Ask manufacturer to be sure.

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

Honestly, I purchased one for my ankle. When my ankle swells, it gets a little snug and I sit down and rest. But, if I'm resting, it is so pain relieving and warm. Incredibrace has it's own website and you might want to go there (http://www.incrediwear.com). Their website says to measure two inches above the knee. I hope this helps. You probably can purchase for less at Amazon. Good luck if you decide to buy it. I love mine.

No, not really, since you got a knee protector that goes higher then the knee cap, and just walking around with them will make it uncomfortable. those knee shin pads protector are made for cycling and motorbike riding since you have your legs bent and the knee shin pads protector will fit perfectly over your knee cap whille protecting the higher part of your knee cap. i use those knee shin protector while riding my electric mountain bike going up to 60 km/h in the trails and since i've had them, they protected my knees and shins quite well after those wipe outs. hope those info helped you.

I think this is entirely a matter of personal preference. Mine is on my K2 road bike but I am not particularly concerned about weight/bulkiness. I am much more concerned about comfort. My husband is a more avid cyclist (does about 100 miles per week) and thinks this seat ("saddle") is ridiculous on my bike (which happens to be his hand me down).

Absoltely not. The bag sits lower than your thighs - more at knee level - but it does not rub against your knees either. It is not a concern. The bag is as wide as or maybe a bit larger, depending on your frame, as the top tube of your bike. It does not get in your way. However, I would recomend a back of saddle bag instead if you do not have many things to carry, as the bag kind of clutters up the look of the bike. If you are not concerned about that, it's a great bag!

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

I use it for road cycling and find this to be the best one yet, it maintains good tension over the face but is easy to pull under the chin if I need a little more freedom to breathe or overheat. This garment is pretty well shaped for the face, but not rigid or "structured" in any way. The thinness of the Lycra cuts the wind without overheating the face. I hope this helps, and, I have four, it's that good a fit for the huge melon on top of my neck!
