does this knee sleeve bunch up behind the knee?

no it really doesn't. I wear mine to work everyday and the only problem that I have had is that slips a little, but stays for the most part where I put it.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large.

Yes, mine fits perfect. As a matter a fact I have purchased another one for the other knee. I hope this is helpful.

It does support the knee well. Have found that wearing compression pants under the brace reduces irritation from the heat build up between the skin and the neoprene.

The sleeve stretches so it will fit. It just makes it look a bit chunky and bulky.

I guess that depends on the size of your knee! I have multiple sizes of these ColPacs (Love them!). This particular size will not go around my knee. I use it on top of my knee, but it does go comfortably down each side of it. I also us it on my shoulder. It's a really nice size, but they do make a giant back one that I have as well, that would go around your knee. If you have a small knee, this will wrap around it. Hope I didn't confuse you too much :-) These ColPacs are really worth having!

The cloth component is adjustable. I think I have a large knee and it worked well. I only used it while laying down and did not try to walk in it. Its a great product.

Yes it is true to size, This item is great, I had bad knee pain during my cardio sessions, now none, can't explain it but my knee feels great during and after a run

Yes, the cold is totally around the knee. At first I found that it wasn't as cold as at physio, but then I increased the cold level in the freezer.

It covers the full knee, under as well. I had to remove the Velcro straps cause they pull fabric that covers cold pack. This will pull fabric apart. Wife had total knee replacement 9 weeks ago. We have other cold packs that she likes better. This one is not her favorite

My knee is of similar size and have fairly thick thighs as well as large calves. This sleeve is very comfortable as far as size and I have never had an issue of slipping. My knee brace is the same size and you just need to make sure it is secured as it should be. Too loose and you lose your support anyway.

Not at all, there is no discomfort or bunching up behind the knee. It is so comfortable and really gives my knee great support thatis snug enough but not at all too tight! Hope my response helps in you making your decision to buy. I think you will be just as pleased as I am. Btw, I had a total knee replacement and really needed the support, that works!!Do take care,Geneva

No, this knee brace is closed all around from top to bottom, except for the knee cap opening. Good for support, but quite confining when one needs to have feet on floor , as in sitting position. And although this design is really good for support, it is hot to wear, especially in hot weather or when very active for long periods of time, and it does chaff a bit even with a hose type sleeve under it. Based on your description for use, probably would not want this particular design. Regards.

It might if you are short enough, for me it goes over the knee far enough to fold over if you look at the picture, that's how a large fits me, it would be folded over just below the knee and maybe a 5 or 6 inch fold, but not long enough to cover shin guards. Maybe you should wear a regular pair of socks under the shin guard and then put this one over it.

I too am 5'6" and about 170 and it wraps around my knee with an overlap of about 5 or so inches. I pull it pretty snug for some compression and I sit down with my knee raised up to relax. I had surgery and needed to reduce swelling. If I chose to get up and walk around, it would stay put to run to the kitchen or restroom but I would not plan to walk around a lot with it on. It is not a knee brace type of wrap.

Yes, this will completely wrap around your knee. I used it after my knee replacement and my knee was very swollen.
