Needing this to ski in...is it extremely bulky under clothes? I have a brace now that I slip on, but it is very uncomfortable.

No, it is not bulky. I'm a carpenter. I wear it over long underwear, under jeans. I have no trouble bending in it. It gives me security. It also keeps my knee warm. It is comfortable.

i tried it on but there wasn't enough stiffness in it way too soft for anykind of support sigh wasted my money

I actually purchased this brace for my son for skiing. He is very happy with it. Says it's comfortable and works well for him and he goes skiing almost every weekend.Hope this helps!

It can be worn under pants. I find it easy to bend and walk around with. I have used a similar Ace brace that is much heavier and bulky. This one is lighter and after you have it on, you really don't notice that you are wearing it.

I'm 5'3", 135 lbs, and wear it on my forearm. I've had no problems with it sliding down; however, I've only worn it during cold weather here so far, and it's been on top of UnderArmor. I have not had a chance to wear it directly on my skin. And the strap is adjustable with 2 different slits you can put the band through.

I suppose you are asking if you can play sports while wearing the brace? Yes. It will make you shoes a little tighter because it is thick, but I did cycling when I wore mine. I didn't do anything higher impact than that because I wanted to let the ligaments heal, but if you want to push it, I"m sure the brace will help.

I wear the brace next to the skin, but you could wear a sock over it or under it depending on how tight that makes it feel. It's warm and comforting next to the skin.

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.

no its way too big, you have to use the straps and go under, I spent the money and got a good one with elastic, its worth it

You'd have to have very large shoes indeed. The plastic part is firm and the velcro + strap assemblies are well-padded. In addition, it is uncomfortable to walk in the brace because it digs into the front of your leg when you step forward with the opposite foot. I wear mine only at night.

I wouldn't say "easily." It's not super cumbersome, but you'd realize you're wearing it for sure. It's not heavy, but it's not light either--bulky. I would not consider this a brace. It's to be used when you need to cool down when you're in pain--and for that it does a good job.

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

Depends on how tight you wear your jeans. I probably wouldn't fit under skinny jeans, but should under boot cut or any other style with a little more room in the leg or with stretch. The problem isn't really if it can fit under jean/pants, it's that it is visible. The brace does have some thickness to it, so more than likely, no matter what type of jean or pant you are wearing you will be able to see that you have a brace or something underneath your pants. For me, I kept my old drug store slip on sleeve brace to wear under my pants, much less noticeable; and I use this one for when I'm working out as it stays on and in place a whole lot better. Hope that helps! (It is a good brace overall) Depends on how tight you wear your jeans.

Maybe you've already answered this for yourself, by now, but if not, here goes. There is a "tacky", non-slip surface on the side of the wide part of the sling that rides against your clothing. It basically "grips" by friction. Hope that helps.

I imagine you could try to get this in the correct postion if you had loose clothing on, but ski pants, motorcycle, or jeans your clothing would have to be slid down for clearance. Good question, I haven't tried it any other way.

You definitely don't want to wear this all day. It offers no support and no shape, and it's rather bulky; you would see it through any shirt. It's quick to put on, though: just throw the straps over your shoulders like you're putting on a coat, and zip it up in the front. You don't have to worry about adjusting size every time, either, since you don't have to mess with the adjustable parts to take it off.

yeah..it is very uncomfortable to wear. I do not wear it regularly like I should. Just too uncomfortable.

I do Karate here so its the same... keep it short - NO. It won't keep you cool. Sorry to say, it feels good on your skin, it won't feel so good under such a heavy garment... Plus, it will ruin this shirt... Live with your sweat, make peace with it, love it :) No need for anything under your gi. If you do want something, get a sleeveless top, but this this, its not as tight as one expected. Its good for jogging out showing off your body. If you want to keep 10 degrees cooler take some ice cubes. or spray yourself with that ice cold spray for injuries. If you want to wick sweat better, look for outdoor/hiking tops, they tend to wick much better than UA. I also tried Columbia's COOL ZERO or whatever its called, wasn't tight enough. Go to the shop before you order online, you will get the feeling yourself... Hope it helps. Again, this is one awesome shirt to wear without anything above it. I forgot to mention - AVOID COTTON! Unless you want to be weight down by all your sweat which might make you feel a bit cooler - since you're wet.
