The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The elbow compression bandage from the aZengear brand arrives in compact plastic packaging. This is printed in an eye-catching green design. In addition to various product features, there is also a size chart and important washing instructions on the back. The packaging offers good protection for the product and can be reused to store the two bandages thanks to a snap closure. A more environmentally friendly choice of material would be desirable.
Inside the packaging are the two bandages and instructions for use in common languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian). The manufacturer also provides a card with information on other products and contact information for customer support, which you can contact if you have any questions about the product. Overall, the product makes a very good first impression.

Once the supports have been unpacked, let’s take a closer look at the product itself. Visually, the bandages make a flawless impression. The design is appealing and modern, with the red accents skillfully setting off the otherwise dark look.
The workmanship is of a high quality and generally flawless. There are no open seams or other defects on the product. The good quality is underlined by the very robust and tear-resistant material . Even on closer inspection, the manufacturer offers a reliable and stable support.
The manufacturer is also impressive when it comes to sustainability. In addition to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, the product is produced in a CO2-neutral manner and therefore meets the requirements for a sustainable product to a particularly high degree.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

In our practical test, the elbow compression support was convincing in almost all respects.
With an appealing and modern design , the manufacturer offers an equally discreet yet sporty and modern design that stands out from the typical gray-blue pattern of competing products.
The product is available in six different sizes. The manufacturer not only offers a wide selection but also precise measurement information, whereby the exact measurements can be looked up in a table in both centimetres and inches. For our test, we received the support in size L. In our case, the measurements given by the manufacturer matched the actual values.
The product is also impressive in terms of comfort. The material is of high quality and very smooth, making it feel very pleasant on the skin. In addition, it is breathable and provides an absolutely consistent feeling on the skin even during sporting activity. The intended compression effect works reliably and as intended, with no unpleasant pressure points caused by elastic bands or similar.
In our opinion, the product offers very little reason for criticism. As the product is intended to support the natural movement of the elbow, a certain restriction of freedom of movement is to be expected when wearing such a product. There is a slight restriction with this product, which is why we have deducted a small number of points.
Cleaning the support, on the other hand, is completely satisfactory. The product can be cleaned in the washing machine on washing programs up to 40°. This should be sufficient for the vast majority of cases. Alternatively, the manufacturer recommends hand washing, as this can sometimes extend the life of the product. Thanks to the breathable material, the drying process is also completed very quickly so that the support is ready for use again after a short time.
All in all, the product is convincing in all areas with no significant criticism, so we give the elbow compression bandage a very good rating .

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*

Rating cut4.4 out of 5.0 on Amazon70 points

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. One common complaint is that the support is too wide or too tight. Many customers like the reasonable price-performance ratio and the good workmanship of the product. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the workmanship of the product was very good. We cannot share the criticisms of the Amazon reviews, as the manufacturer offers a wide range of sizes.

Prices of up to €24.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €9.99. The elbow compression bandage from aZengear is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €14.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio isreasonable.
