Stiff/rough material and wrinkling causes unbearable chaffing
The material is slightly on the rough and stiff side.  This wouldn't be an issue if it didn't wrinkle a lot behind the knee when the hamstrings are contracted.  However, it does wrinkle, and the rough material causes serious pinching and chaffing.  Whenever it started pinching hard, I'd pull to tighten it, but the wrinkles returned as soon as I started moving.  After using it for two consecutive days of cycling, I have a major blister on the backside of my knee (where the semitendinosus meets the knee).<br /><br />Additional Details:<br />- I do want to note that the compression did lessen my knee aching, however, the chaffing and blistering far outweighed the benefits.<br />- I've included a close up photo to show the material texture and how stiff it is compared to a lot of other compression material (the wrinkles are prominent after removing the sleeve)
