cold knees in winter???

"I purchased the Back On Track knee brace (not really a brace) after reading about it and having friends who've used other human Back On Track products. It was mainly because barn chores & riding in winter makes my knees and thighs hurt from the cold. I love the "brace"; didn't want to taper into time in it at the start and liked wearing it in the house as well as outdoors. Will use 2 next year!"

"The knee brace gives me just enough support for my injury of tendonitis while I wait for it to heal. Yet not too bulky to wear under pants or constrict movement. Keeps the warmth around my knee. The fit is great"

"This is personally the best knee support I've ever used - and I've had at least half a dozen different ones over the years. An old injury sometimes makes my knee extremely uncomfortable and it's difficult to walk, but this provides me with immediate relief. Unlike many other knee supports, this one has a high amount of adjustibility, which makes it pretty versatile as far as whatever degree of support is required at any given time."

"Had an MRI to show a partial tear in my MCL. I was in a lot pain and couldn't walk or shift my knee when sitting. Pain killers didn't do much. My doctor wanted me to wear a brace that had metal strips to keep the muscle immobilized, but I knew I wouldn't wear it. I brought him the "back on track" knee brace and he gave me the ok to wear it and said I could do light riding after a couple more weeks, but will take at least 8 weeks to heal. I'm on week 6 of recovery and been wearing the brace for 3 weeks...it really helps! Love this brace and won't leave the house without it. No pain, keeps the muscle where it needs to be. Easy to wear while riding and never pinches. When I don't wear it I notice an aching pain after an hour. I will likely wear the brace past 8 weeks to make sure I don't re-injure myself as I get back into riding and exercising."

"For several months, I was having problems with my right knee. It seemed to get worse the more riding I did, and the more driving (to the barn, mainly!) I did. I tried a few things - toughing it out, icy hot, pain killers, ice, etc. etc. but nothing really seemed to make my sore knee feel much better for long. Feeling too old for my age (I'm under 30!) I invested in this brace.
I have little to no soreness at this point, only 1-2 months after starting to use the brace. I was wearing it to ride and drive, and occasionally on days when I was on my feet a lot. But now I have been able to ween myself off of it for the most part, and my knee still feels great! Occasionally I still get soreness when I drive, but then I just wear the brace the next time, and it feels better.
The brace did not get in the way while riding, which was a concern of mine. It fit nicely over the top of my tall boots, and didn't impede any motion or create bulk under the knee. It also didn't chafe or irritate the skin at the back of the knee.
Highly recommend."

"I have owned this brace for three months now, doing both barn work and CrossFit (weightlifting, running, gymnastics, etc), and while I am very happy with the support it has given me, I have doubts that it will last long. The stitching is coming apart at the bottom, there are "lines" where the fabric has bunched, and the edges of the velcro straps are showing white threads.
That said, I can now do barn chores without my quadriceps tendonitis bothering me, and it gives me good lateral knee stability in the gym. It's low-profile, but too big to fit under my half-chaps, so I have not ridden in it. Overall, I'm happy, and will probably purchase again, but not before seeing what else is on the market."

"After riding many disciplines for 20 years and constantly being on my feet all day every day at work, needless to say I had some knee problems. I noticed a change after about a day of wearing it. I have problems in both knees, and at the end of the day when I took the brace off of one knee, the other unsupported knee was noticeably red and puffier. The thing I like about it is I can feel it warm up and reflect my body heat, so I know it's working."

"This is a great product. Originally bought the hock boots for one of my mares and they worked so well I bought a knee brace for my mom. This brace has taken down the swelling in her knee and she no longer limps while wearing it. Looking forward to getting more of these products for my horses and family."

"I have had 3 knee surgerys and have arthitis in my knee. After all my surgerys my knee has always been swallen and most days alot of pain. Sense I have been using the knee brace the swelling in my knee is gone and I can see definition of my knee cap now and have very little pain. It was well worth the money. I have not had to take any pain pills sense I have started using this product I highly recommend this product."

"I've had multiple major surgeries this year and have relied on Back on Track products to set me right. I laid on my horse's BOT pillow wraps and felt better after a back surgery and then started getting the human products. This knee brace definitely eases stiffness. It can help in acute injuries (e.g. meniscal tears), but is best for use during healing after surgery or just for a stiff knee. I used it on my "good" knee when it was getting stiff with great results. The brace I received did not have the strap as one reviewer mentioned. It doesn't offer lateral support or stabilization, but light compression and that BOT magic warmth."

"This is very nice but when I got it it was not like the one in the picture the knee brace was the one with the supports on the side and the velcro on the top. The one in the picture was the other kind one that I wanted but the other one was fine too. but the small runs smaller too but it did fit. Over all this is very good and the horse leg wraps really do work I love them and thinking about getting another pair for my horse."
