A slim patellar tendon strap that wraps below the kneecap and presses a built-in EVA cushion against the tendon. It is aimed at runners, jumpers and gym-goers with pain just under the kneecap, and unlike a full knee sleeve it leaves the joint free to bend. The dual-direction hook-and-loop strap lets you set tightness, and the textured backing resists slipping. Owners rate it highly for comfort and kneecap support, though several say it is uncomfortable to sit in for long.

Buyers rate it highly and most mention relief from knee pain during cycling and better kneecap support in basketball. Comfort and grip are common praise points. The main complaint is that it is uncomfortable to sit in because it tightens circulation.
This patellar tendon strap wraps around the leg just below the kneecap. A built-in shock-absorbing pad rests against the patellar tendon to dampen impact from jumping and running. The strap applies firm pressure below the kneecap to help reduce tension at the tendon attachment point.
The strap is elastic nylon with a polyester lining and a hook-and-loop closure. A dual-direction strap lets you set the tightness from light everyday support to firm support for sport. A textured backing and the elastic help keep it from slipping, rolling or sliding down.
The design is symmetrical, so it fits either the left or right knee. It is slim and lightweight enough to wear under pants, leggings or sports uniforms. To put it on, sit with your leg extended and place the pad in the soft indentation just below the kneecap. Wrap the strap around the back of the knee, thread it through the buckle and fasten it snugly. It should feel firm but should not pinch behind the knee or restrict blood flow.
