Review: Highly Recommend this knee brace - I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised with how well this brace worked out for me. I originally had a custom made brace after knee surgery several years ago and still have lingering issues. That original brace no longer fits and has deteriorated severely. I purchased two of these braces for support and to protect my other knee from damage due to compensating for the knee that had the surgery. With both braces on, I have been up and down ladders hanging Xmas decorations with little to no issues. I would highly recommend these braces. Review: Great initially but didn't last. - If this brace lasted longer I'd have given it five stars. As it is now, I can't recommend this product for anyone looking for a running knee brace. The good: I ordered this brace on June 27th and received it quickly. The fit was good and the support it provided was great. I had my ACL replaced years ago and wanted to get back into running and this gave me the confidence to get back out on the trail. The bad: One Velcro strap on the top of the brace no longer holds while I run. It doesn't hold if tight or loose (defeats the purpose) and it just baffles me that the Velcro would die in just a few months. I run 2 - 4 times a week anywhere from 3.5 - 7 miles a run so nothing extreme. So this brace lasted somewhere around 70 miles before failing costing me more than $1/mile. Conclusion: I just went on a run this morning and no matter what spot I tried to fasten the Velcro tab to it would disconnect withing a couple of steps. I was able to finish the run but the brace is no longer providing the lateral support I need it to. Almost a great product but the longevity of it makes it not worth the cost. If you're looking for a knee brace to run with that will last you more than a few months I'd look somewhere else. ## Features - Bilateral Hinged Knee Support for Maximum Stability: Engineered with dual side hinges, the Bionic Drytex Knee Sleeve provides superior joint stabilization to protect against lateral forces, helping prevent injuries and support recovery from knee instability, sprains, and strains. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BG8TGRJ | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #347,693 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) #3,154 in Knee & Leg Braces | | Brand | DonJoy Performance | | Brand Name | DonJoy Performance | | Closure Type | Hook & Loop | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 112 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00190446262770 | | Included Components | Knee Brace | | Item Dimensions | 31.8 x 13.3 x 5.1 Centimeters | | Item Thickness | 0.7 Kilometres | | Item Type Name | DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve – Medial/Lateral, Patella Support, Anti-Slip for Instability, Knee Sprains, Strains, Hyperextension, Meniscus, and Arthritis - Large | | Item Weight | 340 g | | Manufacturer | DJOGM - pallet ordering | | Material Type | Aluminium | | Model Name | Bionic | | Model Number | DP181KB01-BLK-L | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | DP181KB01-BLK-L | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | L | | Special Features | Wicking | | Specific Uses For Product | Meniscus Injury, MCL and LCL Protection, Knee Instability, Hyperextension, Strained Muscles or Tendons, Sprained Ligaments Specific Uses For Product Meniscus Injury, MCL and LCL Protection, Knee Instability, Hyperextension, Strained Muscles or Tendons, Sprained Ligaments See more | | Sport Type | Basketball,Hockey,Football,Soccer,Baseball | | Target Use Body Part | Knee | | UPC | 190446262770 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Use for | Knee | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DonJoy Performance - **Size:** L - **Specific Uses For Product:** Meniscus Injury, MCL and LCL Protection, Knee Instability, Hyperextension, Strained Muscles or Tendons, Sprained Ligaments - **Use for:** Knee - **Age Range (Description):** Adult ## Images ![DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve (Large) Joint Stabilizer with Patella Support, Dual Quick-Straps & Breathable Material – For Knee Instability, Sprains, Arthritis & Sports Recovery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519bJw8YodL.jpg) ![DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve (Large) Joint Stabilizer with Patella Support, Dual Quick-Straps & Breathable Material – For Knee Instability, Sprains, Arthritis & Sports Recovery - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rfno4anZL.jpg) ![DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve (Large) Joint Stabilizer with Patella Support, Dual Quick-Straps & Breathable Material – For Knee Instability, Sprains, Arthritis & Sports Recovery - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7102wyq440L.jpg) ![DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve (Large) Joint Stabilizer with Patella Support, Dual Quick-Straps & Breathable Material – For Knee Instability, Sprains, Arthritis & Sports Recovery - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MuRMd0QeL.jpg) ![DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve (Large) Joint Stabilizer with Patella Support, Dual Quick-Straps & Breathable Material – For Knee Instability, Sprains, Arthritis & Sports Recovery - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YyBp0haLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this neoprene-free?** A: No where in the description does it say neoprene, but it has five percent neoprene and I can tell you that it is right around the hole for the knee cap area because that is where I am broken out with red itchy painful bumps **Q: Can i order a xxl or a xxxl? I have larger than most thighs and calves. Xl is too small.** A: I am not sure abt this .slightly tight feel is not too bad as it stretches slightly and it has Velcro as well to reinforce both top and bottom areas . **Q: What are the measurements for the donjoy performance bionic drytex hinged knee sleeve?** A: returned this product because even though I measured following their directions I could not get it on. **Q: Can this brace be used in water (eg surfing)?** A: Yes I use mine for surfing to make the brace last adjust slide it on before surfing & slide it off if you keep using the Velcro on & off it will wear out prematurely ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend this knee brace *by M***S on 3 December 2025* I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised with how well this brace worked out for me. I originally had a custom made brace after knee surgery several years ago and still have lingering issues. That original brace no longer fits and has deteriorated severely. I purchased two of these braces for support and to protect my other knee from damage due to compensating for the knee that had the surgery. With both braces on, I have been up and down ladders hanging Xmas decorations with little to no issues. I would highly recommend these braces. ### ⭐⭐ Great initially but didn't last. *by R***H on 10 September 2020* If this brace lasted longer I'd have given it five stars. As it is now, I can't recommend this product for anyone looking for a running knee brace. The good: I ordered this brace on June 27th and received it quickly.

Brace 1) and 2) felt pretty similar with a slight to moderate hyperextention support, but McDavid XL was a better fit than Shock Doctor 2) option (XXL), which seemed a bit loose. So maybe brace 2) of lesser than recommended size would have worked better. Brace 3) was the only suitable of this size I found in Big Five local sports store. It was not as good as 1) and 2). Brace didn’t provide any overextension support, contrary to the claim, but it was the most comfortable to wear under pants (as it is thinner), but this is not enough. Other comments. Brace 4) was available for the next day delivery (while 1 and 2 would take 2 days to deliver) with Amazon Prime. Brace 4) was designed by a local company that for some reason has very poor reviews. I also rated this product as the least favorable. Shock Doctor braces (especially 2) feel heavy duty and so has promising potential if correctly fit. McDavid 1) was an overall winner based on functionality comparable to 2) but a better fit (it is also more compact and twice cheaper!) I liked the side pockets on McDavid 1) to pull the brace up the leg. These are also found on Shock Doctor 2) and 3) but smaller and not as convenient. A comment on my experience fitting braces. The results vary a lot depending on specific pants and trousers vs. bare skin. If put on bare skin, skin needs to be dry as the inner surface will otherwise adhere to skin. In conclusion, McDavid Hinged Knee Brace (Level III) and Shock Doctor Knee Brace with Rigid Side Stabilizers (Level III) were comparable and very good to stabilize the impacted knee that is painful to overstretch. Level II Shock Doctor brace was not as good, and DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve was not suitable for knee overextension control, but a nice choice when you value the brace with minimum support functionality that is can be hidden under pants. Selecting the right size is a huge factor for the level of support and comfort. I eventually picked McDavid Hinged Knee Brace (Level III) as it matched the Shock Doctor functionality but at the same time was more compact and twice cheaper. ## Frequently Bought Together - DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve - DonJoy Performance Bionic Knee Brace – Hinged, Adjustable Patella Support, Lateral / Medial Ligament (ACL, MCL, LCL), Meniscus, Knee Sprains for Soccer, Basketball, Skiing, Hockey, Running, Water Sports --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/358993807-donjoy-performance-bionic-drytex-hinged-knee-sleeve-large-joint-stabilizer](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/358993807-donjoy-performance-bionic-drytex-hinged-knee-sleeve-large-joint-stabilizer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
