Can anyone recommend a knee compression sleeve for me?

Look into the CTI knee braces w/ a copper sleeve

I know about that but like I said in my post I want to avoid a brace or stabilizer as those can actually be detrimental and I don't want to rely on it either, I only plan on using the sleeve for a little bit yet while I ease back into riding. The firm compression feels good and gives me the added confidence to ease back into riding... when it's not sliding down my leg or chaffing my knee-pit anyway.

Try this site: it gives you a comparison of many on the market. Perhaps one will work. Hope it works out bro.

Perfecttt thanks! I actually just picked up another P-Tex the other day, this one with an open patella and different backing to it that doesn't cause chasing. I only rode in it once today and it felt fine, but my knee's a bit sore from overdoing the physical therapy so gonna give it some time before I say it's good or not. So I'll definitely be looking through that catalog, tons of options to choose from

I had torn ACL and went to surgery and all the shit that come with. Removed meniscus, rehab, pain, frustration, ride with knee brace ect...
My personal advice is to get a natural knee compression sleeve, brace, stabilizer : your muscles.
Just do the rehab properly, strenghten the fuck out of your leg and quadriceps, and try to be aware when you ride ( i mean know when you start to feel fatigue and not focus).
Work your balance too and feel confident in your stance.
Any knee compression sleeves won't do NOTHING for your ACL, only protect the skin around your knee in case of light shock.
If you really need some "external" stabilization you'll need a proper brace or stabilize and its costy.


PS hi everybody,its my first post here and i felt i had to give my advice.. i was on bikeguide before as dersou ousala.
cheers

just go back to dicks and try on a few and pick a different one. return the old one.

That’s what I’ve been doing but it’s annoying having to do that which is why I asked if anyone could recommend me one they’ve had experience with. So far the one I picked out seems to be the best of both world’s but I’ve only ridden in it and haven’f done tricks with it yet so it remains to be seen how it’ll do for that

That’s what I said in the original post… I want to rely on the muscles, but while I ease back into riding I’d like a compression sleeve to help with that muscle fatigue/soreness. I’ve ridden with and without one, and it definitely feels better with one on and afterwards too
