The Pro-Tec ® IT Band Compression Wrap is designed to specifically target the Illiotibial tract to help alleviate the conditions associated with Illiotibial Band Syndrome. The Pro-Tec Iliotibial Band Wrap includes a compression pad which provides effective, targeted compression. It is 2" wide and is made from UBL neoprene which is Velcro compatible and very comfortable on the skin. It is adjustable and stays in place. Black only. One size fits most. Returns: Due to hygiene purposes, this item is non-returnable.

[..] so far so good -- I received this item a couple of weeks ago and ran already twice or three times with it. No issues, I actually feel the knee and IT band are well supported by the pressure it makes. My 1st impression was that the item was low quality, but actually the material needs to more flexible than, for example, jumper's knees bands (patellar) because this way it can be fixed over the knee. Perhaps my only complain is that the compression area could be bigger, it's just a small square and kind of soft. On the bright side is the little manual that comes enclosed, it has some explanation on the problem and suggestions for stretching exercises. [..] -- customer review

[..] IT Band compression wrap -- It worked like a miracle in the middle of my run when I felt my IT Band begin to tighten. It allowed me to go 10 more miles when usually I'd have to stop after another mile. [..] -- customer review

Pro-Tec Iliotibial Band Compression Wrap

[..] Relieved the pain! -- I began training for a half-marathon about a month ago. The outside of my knee began causing so much pain that I was discouraged I wouldn't be able to run. After limping around for many days and doing some research, I concluded I was suffering from IT Band Syndrome. I also researched several different brands of IT Band wraps and found the reviews for the ProTec to be the best.

I just bought mine last Friday from Luke's Locker. The next morning I ran six miles almost completely pain free!! It was amazing, and the band stayed in place and never slipped down. My knee still hurt when I walked after my run and for most of the day, so I still iced it and did all of my "ITB stretches" immediately after, but now I have hope that I CAN keep running and not have to suffer! This product may not work for everyone, but for a mere $16, what could it hurt to try it?? [..] -- customer review
