BraceAbilityPlus Size Chondromalacia Knee Brace - XXL U-Shaped Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Under Kneecap Stabilizing Support for Patellar Tendonitis, Meniscus Tears, Arthritis Support (2XL)

DURABLE: I have a lifelong history of knee injuries and have worn dozens of knee braces, but this one is truly a serious brace. I suspect I'll use it for the rest of my life, it's so sturdy. SIZE: The size thing is confusing, and unfortunately did not work for me. Frankly, in clothing, I wear a size XL, so when I measured like the instructions advised, I came out needing a size 2XL. Surely didn't sound right to me, but I ordered the 2XL anyway. Brace arrived fairly quickly and I put it on for a busy holiday day. It was simply too tight! Hard to believe with it being a 2XL, so I wore it a second day thinking it might loosen up, but it did not, hence its sturdiness. RETURN AND REORDER: I followed the Return instructions (knowing they would retain shipping costs which was about $5) and received a refund, but there was no "exchange option." I ordered the exact same brace again, only this time in a 3XL size. Received it on the same day I received my refund for the returned item. END RESULT: This is an exceptional item from a company who treated me fairly when I had to return the item for size reasons. If people who have an honest-to-goodness need for a knee brace are comparing, this one is impressive.
