Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I own at least 5 different knee straps. Once I figured out they help me, I set out to find the best one for the various activities I'm involved in. The Cho-Pat is well made and I purchased it for use when it's very hot, or wet. Most straps are neoprene and can be hot when you are working hard. They also absorb water. The Cho-pat seems cooler to me, and works well when wet. It costs more than other straps, and I prefer straps where the velcro folds back to provide a more secure hold. However I'm happy with this strap for the specific times when I use it. If a strap helps with your knee pain, you should own several to find the one that works best for your knee and the activities you are performing. This strap is different from many others and worth trying out.
