Knee Compression Sleeve?
Can anyone recommend a knee sleeve that would provide compression for cycling that doesn't slip or bunch up, doesn't have side stabilizers, and preferably has a hole cut out for the knee cap?

What about some knee warmers? Or just calf length bibs/shorts? They have a little compression, but whether that is where you need it is the question. I don't know of any with the knee cut out.

https://incrediwear.com/collections/...y=best-selling - I have had very good experience with this company for elbow and ankle braces/sleeves. I found they provided more even pressure/comfort and slipped less than other brands by a good measure.
https://www.bauerfeind.com/b2c/Produ.../c/knee-braces - I have been reading up on this company, but have not purchased anything yet. Very positive reviews and they make knee sleeves for the NBA. Fit, for me, is always the hardest part for sleeves/braces. Both of these companies offer good instructions and support with fit. |

Yes!
I recently got some knee things (knee warmer / brace) that are soft, maybe they would work for you. don't know how much support you need, or why. I use them to keep my pants away from the gears https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YMTC2LJ...v_ov_lig_dp_it they look like this https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...73a7220583.jpg |

The Incrediwear braces already mentioned are good and have held up very well, for years.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TF8&th=1&psc=1 I also have a pair of these and they're at least as good, maybe a little more comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These both do have a very light and flexible side brace running down each side, but those are there to keep them from bunching up - they don't provide much in the way of actual support. Both of these work well, and I'm at the stage where I need them all the time while cycling. |
Instead, I would recommend seeing a physical therapist to strengthen your knee, unless you have already gone that route.

Ace has a knee brace exactly like what you want. I didn't get it through Amazon so I don't have a link for it. Look through their line-up. You'll find it. If you can live without the hole for your patella, these are way more supportive.

I practically live in knee warmers. And the last thing I would want? A hole over the kneecap! I want those kneecaps warm along with the rest of my knee! The nice thing about them is that they're easy to remove if the weather gets warm enough to go without. However, that said, I'm now wearing sun sleeves on my knees during hot weather to eliminate sunburn. Arm sun sleeves too; I simply HATE sunscreen. Plus, it needs to be reapplied. Sleeves can be soaked in water too for nice cooling on those super hot climbs.
How did this get to sunscreen? <grin> |
Knee warmers provide compression. They come in various thicknesses, which translate to different amounts of compression. I like this aspect of them as well. So since knee warmers are commonly used among cyclists, the OP may find pretty good selection and something that will easily meet his compression needs. That was the gist of it. Sun sleeves provide the added benefit of sun protection. That's all.
