Pro Band Sports BandIT Arm Band, Black/White customer reviews: Everything promised I am not usually a sucker for advertising claims and little "problem solvers," but I bought a couple of these in desperation, and man am I glad I did! I was in significant pain and discomfort in both my arms, elbow to wrist, from repetitive strain. I couldn't wait to get these through Amazon (free shipping, but a wait of ~2 weeks), so I hunted them down locally yesterday morning. I wore them all day yesterday and half the day today. This clam-shell style is much more comfortable than the style of brace that wraps all the way around the arm, because it allows blood to circulate. The other type of brace turns my hands dusky - no blood flow! Already this afternoon I am in so much less discomfort, and am able to do things like open jars and hold heavy items in a pincer-type grasp (things I couldn't do yesterday morning). No joke. I am keeping these and will not only use them for my recovery from tendonitis, but to prevent future flare-ups. They seem to have the added benefit of bio-feedback: you can feel the tension between your body and the brace when you are over-exerting your upper arm muscles. It helps give me an idea of things I do during my normal day that are just "too much." They are well-built, sturdy, and the velcro appears like it will last, and like if it doesn't it'd be easily replaced by someone like me who can sew/craft. The black foam pads that sit on the arm are very soft and forgiving, but not too cushy - it keeps the white hard plastic off your body. They come with a money-back guarantee, so it's risk-free to give them a shot. Some minor pitfalls: silly color/logo. It's also kind of cute: "Band-it?" Difficult to pull sleeves down or up over item (best to put under clothes, before you put shirt on). I do get a tiny bit sweaty under the black foam pads. Superior product. Gets slick with sweat I got this band for tennis because it's pretty popular in the tennis community. My only complaint is that when it's on too tight, it feels like it's cutting off my circulation (I have small arms). When I loosen the band, it seems to slide when I sweat or hit overheads. On the plus side, it's easy to adjust. Tennis, fishing, computer elbow -- it works! I played tennis in school (until 1974) then started fishing a lot and I work on a computer. All of those activities caused pain in my elbow that got increasingly more debilitating over the years. Anybody that ever had a real bad episode of tennis elbow knows it can bring tears to your eyes. So I read the reviews here and bought a bandit even though I was skeptical. Well it works. It really works or I wouldn't be wasting my once limited computer time by typing here. At first it was uncomfortable, difficult to put on in just the right position. But after 6 months I just don't touch my mouse unless my BandIt is on my arm. And I frequently find I am still wearing it when I don't need it, I just forget it's there. It's been 6 months and I've had no arm pain. And I know from experience that I have pushed well beyond my limits. If I did not have this aid I would be having lots of pain, taking lots of Aleve. Uncomfortable to wear Hoping to get rid of tennis elbow pain, I read quite a few reviews of competing products on Amazon. Due to large number of positive reviews versus other products that do the same thing, I settled on this one. Although I have not worn it long enough yet to experience relief of the inflammation of tennis elbow (couple weeks now), I can say this. Obviously you need to wear it tight enough to restrict interaction of the forearm muscle with the tendon connected to the elbow bone. But in so doing, it does cut off circulation even though it appears that, as a two part brace, it might not do so, where the straps "only" are in contact with the arm. When you cinch it down adequately, the straps do compress the forearm flesh and muscle, cutting off circulation, contrary to their marketing claims. So I have had to loosen it up a bit, but when I make a fist and move my hand around to activate the muscle interaction with the tendon, I can tell that it is not restraining muscle activity enough to appear to relieve stress on the tendon. I am judging this by feeling the muscle action between the brace, and the tendon and I can feel it flexing more than it does when I have it tighter and properly restrained. But the most uncomfortable thing about this product, is that the edges of the velcro strap are very thin and thus a bit sharp along the outer edges, beyond the soft part of the velcro itself, where the strap has been "heat cut" to prevent unraveling and fraying. Not to the point that they would literally cut you, but certainly uncomfortable over several hours of use. So the real weak point in this product is the velcro strap. If they could figure out a way to get rid of the abrupt and relatively sharp edge, it would enhance comfort in wearing over extended periods. Old age is kicking in... ...and with it tendonitis. This helps a great deal. Pain is still there, but greatly diminished when I wear this. It is definitely worth the extra money when compared to the velcro bands you can pick up at the random sporting store.
