Mueller Knee Braces – HG80 Review

“I’ve had knee issues for years (three arthroscopies, one ACL replacement, and currently a torn meniscus), and this brace is the best I’ve found.” – Amazon reviewer

First impressions are that this could be an excellent support for hockey players with ligament pain or cartilage damage.

It offers a pull-up sleeve type construction with wrap around straps for added stability.

Overall Verdict: 4.2/5

Mueller knee braces offer an excellent, well rated knee brace in the HG80. It has plenty of positive feedback from users. The best point is the ability to remove the side braces and reduce support as your knee improves post injury. I also really like the width of the brace as it means it will fit snuggly under shin guards. I highly recommend this knee brace.
