If you are looking for a neoprene brace then you will usually come upon two different types. Wrap around knee supports and the pull on knee sleeves. There are benefits to both.
Sometimes, people like to have a brace that wraps around their thigh, knee and leg. This is because you may have a fluctuation in size, or you may like to wear your brace more snugly sometimes or more loosely other times. This is the benefit of a wrap around knee support. You will have the ability to adjust it if, and when, you need to.
The classic style of a neoprene knee brace is a “knee sleeve”. These braces are good for many reasons. First of all they can slide on over your leg and many times you do not need any straps. Whereas, you might need straps with the wrap around style. They will often times have an open knee cap that will allow for good ventilation.
