very comfortable strap
I have tendonitis in my right elbow, and was looking for something more comfortable and less "dorky" than the cheapo "tennis elbow" straps you can buy from Walgreens or the sporting goods section at WalMart. I found this strap on Amazon, and have been very pleased with it. It has held up well, and is very easy to adjust. Once on, it is comfortable and you don't have to keep adjusting it. It also does not slide down or cut off your circulation. It is easy to adjust if necessary, and has a thick "gel-like" pad inside that presses against the outer elbow in just the right spot without constricting movement. The band has a very "sporty" look, and comes with a small mesh bag so the velcro does not get hooked onto your workout clothing inside your gym bag.
Update: In the more than year I have used it, it has supported my elbow well during weight-lifting sessions. In fact, I don't like to lift without it because I don't have the support. If necessary, I would purchase this item again, and definitely recommend it for anyone who has elbow support issues while lifting weights or playing tennis.
Update 01/25/10:
After nearly a year and a half of use, including several wash cycles, this product has held up extremely well. For anyone who struggles with the effects of "tennis elbow", this is one of the most comfortable (and "sporty") bands I have used, and I stand by my recommendation.
