Drytex Knee Supports & Braces

Drytex is DJO's answer to a common complaint about neoprene braces: the sweat, the itch, and the clammy feel after an hour of wear. Built from a breathable, latex-free fabric that wicks moisture and dries quickly, Drytex supports let you keep a brace on through a full workday or workout without the trapped heat that makes people take it off early. For anyone with sensitive skin or a neoprene sensitivity, that difference is the whole point.

This collection centers on the DJO Hinged Knee Support, a pull-on sleeve with an open patella and dual hook-and-loop closures. The hinges provide medial and lateral stability for mild to moderate instabilities, ligament strains, and post-injury recovery, while the open patella relieves pressure on the kneecap and helps track it during movement. Because the closures are adjustable, you can fine-tune compression as swelling changes throughout the day.

Getting the size right matters more with a hinged brace than with a simple sleeve, since the hinges need to sit at the joint line. Each size is set by both thigh and calf circumference rather than a single measurement: Small fits a 15½–18½ inch thigh, Medium 18½–21 inches, Large 21½–23½ inches, and X-Large 23½–26½ inches, with matching calf ranges. Measure both, and if you fall between sizes, the range that captures your thigh is usually the better call. Every size is universal for the left or right knee, so you don't need to specify a side when ordering.

Drytex braces suit active recovery, sports, and everyday support alike. If you're weighing your options, compare with our broader range of Knee Braces & Supports and other Orthopedic Braces & Supports to match the level of stability to your needs.
