I am very happy to receive the 3M (China) sponsored Futuro Women's Knee Support, and I thank Codoon for choosing me to do the experience review.

In most people's impressions, knee supports are unisex, but Futuro 'for her' is specially tailored for women, perfectly fitting the physiological curves of women's legs.

The stylish and elegant blue-gray color is completely versatile~ It doesn't look out of place when paired with cycling and sportswear. For a 'beauty-conscious' sports enthusiast like me, it's a blessing.When choosing protective gear, we should select ones that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing! Who doesn't want to look good while exercising? I usually run and cycle quite frequently, doing LSD runs or 100km cycling training on weekends. For me, knee supports are indispensable.

Fits Women's Knees:

This knee support is custom-made for women by female engineers in the development team, based on the curves of the female body. It can wrap the entire knee joint 360 degrees and fit perfectly with the leg. The sleeve design makes it easy to put on and take off. The two spiral adjustable straps on the top and bottom can adjust the tightness as needed to prevent the support from slipping during exercise.

After putting it on, you can clearly feel the snug fit around the knee joint and leg, with support at the patella, but the knee joint can still bend freely.Wearing it doesn't feel inconvenient at all.The soft support bars on both sides provide good fixation and protection for the knee during exercise.

Breathable and Comfortable Fabric:

When choosing knee supports, besides support and protection, the breathability of the material is also very important.Running and cycling are activities that easily cause sweating. If the material is not breathable, it can easily harm the skin and cause inconvenience during exercise.

Futuro useshigh-tech skin-friendly and breathable fabricthat can wick away moisture and sweat even during exercise.The material is very soft, covering the protective areas comprehensively,providing 360-degree front and side protection.The edges are not hemmed, and this low-cut design is very soft and comfortable,preventing friction against the skin during exercise and avoiding a tight feeling.


Built-in Patella Pad:

Inside the knee support, below the knee, there is a gel pad to protect the patella joint and provide cushioning. This is a very thoughtful design.



T-shaped Velcro:

The adhesive is long-lasting and sticks well, working with the 3M fabric to prevent pilling.Don't underestimate a small Velcro. I used a knee support before, and the Velcro couldn't stick firmly after a short time, wasting the knee support.



Cycling Experience:

Last week, I just finished a nearly 1000km round-Taiwan cycling trip, averaging over 100km per day for 9 days. The pressure on my knees was something I had never experienced before. After halfway through the trip, my knees started to show signs of protest, and I began applying patches every night after the sixth day of cycling.

After returning to Chengdu, I received this knee support and wore it during cycling.

The overall fit is excellent, lightweight, and very comfortable on the skin, with a soft touch. Wearing it doesn't feel cumbersome or affect my athletic performance.

Many people love cycling because, compared to other sports, it is not as intense, meaning your joints won't be heavily impacted while riding.

However, if cycling becomes a habit or is done frequently, it can still affect your joints. If combined with improper BIKE-FIT (body and bike data measurement) or incorrect cycling techniques, long-term cycling can cause knee injuries, which is a common issue among cyclists. Studies show that 40% of amateur cyclists experience knee injuries due to over-cycling.

During the cycling review, after cycling for 1 hour and 54 minutes with the knee support, I found that it didn't loosen at all, continuously wrapping around the knee joint and leg.The internal patella pad provided effective support for the knee.Entering the summer season, with rising temperatures and increased sweating during cycling, the skin-friendly and breathable fabric of Futuro still managed to wick away moisture and sweat, without feeling stuffy at all.



Gym Equipment Training:

First, I did bent-over barbell rows, targeting the back muscles. Whether balancing the chest muscles, maintaining the torso, or aiming for a good look, rowing movements can directly stimulate the target muscle group. Moreover, the bent-over posture requires a certain level of body stability, especially involving the knees and legs. After wearing the Futuro knee support,the patella pad provided effective support for the knees, reducing knee stress and allowing harmonious coordination between the legs and target muscle group,helping me perform better during the exercise.



During high knee exercises, when one leg is lifted, the angle between the thigh and the torso (hip joint) and between the thigh and the lower leg (knee joint) should ideally reach 90 degrees, forming a right angle. To test the stability of the Futuro knee support, I specifically chose this exercise. High knee exercises require maintaining body balance, and the height of the lifted leg should gradually increase, meaning our knee joints will be continuously engaged, with a high frequency of leg lifts. After three sets of 60-second high knee exercises, the knee support stayed firmly in place without slipping.

Wearing shorts in summer and putting on the knee support is very convenient, done in minutes~ The key point is that the design of the Futuro Women's Knee Support fits the female leg, soit! doesn't! make! your! legs! look! thick!!This is a concern for many women~ The blue-gray color is purely versatile! It looks trendy and suitable with any sportswear.



I hope my review can provide reference value for friends who love cycling when choosing and purchasing protective gear. At the same time, I hope fellow cyclists will treat cycling scientifically and reasonably, progressing gradually and increasing intensity step by step. Don't start with over 100km rides as a beginner to prevent injuries. Knee injuries that are not properly rested and repeatedly hurt can easily lead to lifelong disabilities. I believe this knee support, specially designed for women, can better protect us.
