1. KNEE WIDTH

Measure across the centre of the knee using the POD Sizing Tool. Take measurements in a weight bearing position at full extension (i.e. with leg fully straight).

2. KNEE CIRCUMFERENCE

Measure the circumference of the knee directly underneath the kneecap using a soft tape measure or string. Take measurements in a weight bearing position at full extension (i.e. with leg fully straight).

3. TRY BRACE ON

Walk and bend your leg to aid the brace in settling. The brace should feel comfortably snug.

If the measurements indicate you are between sizes, we recommend to go up a size.

SELF SERVICE

SPARE PARTS & MAINTENANCE POD knee braces have a limited life span. Periodically, depending on usage (12 months) or after a significant impact (crash damage), some or all of the components on your brace will need to be replaced. In most cases spare parts are readily available and easily installed by you.

PROTECTION LIMITS

Participating in action sports is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death. POD knee braces cannot protect against all injuries – no knee brace can. However, independent research proves wearing a knee brace reduces the severity of knee injury.
