Help alleviate symptoms of tendinitis, chondromalacia, iliotibial band syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter's disease, and other knee ailments with this strap.

  • The patellar tendon strap is useful for alleviating moderate knee pain, especially in areas under and surrounding the knee cap
  • Provides compression on the patellar tendon, helping spread pressure uniformly, reducing discomfort and irritation
  • Compression may also help stabilize your patella, improving its tracking
  • Absorbs stress to the knee, reducing vibrations in the femoral groove
  • Neoprene strap attaches with a VELCRO® brand closure for an adjustable fit

For proper fit, measure circumference of leg just below kneecap: Small fits 10 - 12 inches; Medium 12-1/8 - 13-5/8 inches; Large 13-3/4 - 15-1/2 inches; X-large 15-5/8 - 17-1/2 inches.

Made in USA.

        Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Patellar Tendon Strap:

        I LOVE backpacking. But about five years ago my knees were giving me major problems. I eventually had to give up even short day hikes because I couldn't make it down the mountain, due to the stabbing pain in my knees.
        I was desperate and decided to give these little guys a try. They made all the difference in the world. I can hike uphill and downhill now without even worrying about my knees. I've tackled good four day treks out into the wilderness, hiking steep trails that I couldn't even consider doing before with heavy packs.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Patellar Tendon Strap:

          I have no problems with my knees; I bought the product so it supports my knees during a rough hike in King's Canyon National Park. The product works wonderfully; I can feel they support my knees during the strenuous hike; I carried about 37 lbs of pack. I highly recommend this product for any knee injury prevention; I use it for 3-mile daily run as well. I will buy them again in the future.

              Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Patellar Tendon Strap:

              A few years ago I bailed on Mt Rainier due to extreme patellar tendonitis. I have used several types of big bulky knee straps to try and combat it but they never worked and usually gave me sores on the back of my knees. After finding these straps my knees are 100% better. I have now done a one day climb of Mt Adams with ZERO pain. This strap is perfect for mountaineering since its so light weight and easy to use. If you have knee problems, specifically Patellar Tendonitis, get these straps!
