Breg PTO Knee Brace - anyone here use one? (Read 542 times)

HI all - am still recovering from issues with my knee, and have found that the first knee sleeve I've used to try to assist my patella tracking issues has resulted in an allergic reaction. It also doesn't seem to fit real well. (OTC McDavid or something like that from Sports Authority since I needed it ASAP and the local prosthetic place wouldn't have one in my size on time). Unfortunately all the models the prosthetic place are all neoprene based, and I think I might be allergic - or it's triggering a reaction due to the heat. I'm now looking at an Airmesth Breg PTO brace - am looking for feedback from other users. I have been diagnosed with chondromalacia patella, and as you may surmise, my patella is not tracking quite right. I intend to wear the brace for hiking/backpacking activities on trail and off trail terrain. I am still not yet running yet, so i'm not sure if I'd wind up wearing it in those circumstances. TIA for your feedback!
