Overview
Many people have shown an interest in the Tommie Copper line, and of course when a product looks like it is going to be a success then its not long before it receives some competition. While the Tommie Copper products are more extensive meaning that there are several different items that can be purchased using the same copper technology, the Copper Fit is focusing on the marketing of compression sleeves.
The Claim
The Company claims the best use of this product is for the reduction of muscle stiffness and joint pain. They indicate it helps to reduce swelling. They are stating that the use of copper as part of their technology and copper is antimicrobial which helps to ward off damaging bacteria. They are also promoting that it could help to prevent injury.
The Hype
It doesn’t take much hype to convince people that if a product is capable of reducing pain and discomfort it is at least going to draw a fair amount of interest. Then the next approach in the marketing material has to be why the product works and how it can ward off some potential side effects. For example, when it comes to compression items a lot of people worry about the sweating that it can create and this leads to problem with the skin. The promoters of Copper Fit have quickly addressed this concern by indicating their wicking construction of the sleeves helps to take the sweat away from the body.
The Cost
For about $36. which includes all of the shipping you can take advantage of the Buy One Get One Free promotion that is currently being offered. It does come with a 30 day money back guarantee, minus the shipping and handling.
The Commitment
You are going to have to be ready to put the compression sleeve to good and consistent use as per directed. Don’t fall into the trap of being caught up with a new product and use it faithfully for a short period of time, then forget about it. You probably should also check with your health care provider about the use of compression for your particular type of problem.
Evaluation
There has been a lot of advertising and promotion in regards to the Tommie Hill line lately and we want to take a close look at how this and the Copper Fit compare. We did do a review on the Tommy Copper in the past. We have noticed on our review that it has received almost equal thumbs up or down feedback. Checking it out on the Amazon site the Tommy Hill Knee Sleeve averages about an overall 4.5 star rating. The Copper Fit is not possible to compare in regards to product feedback as yet as it is still in its new promotion stages.
We have decided to give the Copper Fit a Try/Buy rating. Price wise it is comparable to similar products on the market and even less when you consider you are getting a second one free with the price of shipping included. Compression does work for some people, and in our opinion while copper is being mentioned for its potential benefits it is not the main component that is being highlighted. You will have to choose between the elbow or knee Copper Fit sleeves according to your specific needs. You will find this to be the same with any compression type product as they are structured for a specific area of the body.
Our Recommendation
You would think that with this product being named Copper Fit that the copper would be the star of the product and the marketing material would all revolve around this. Yet although copper is mentioned as part of the components that make up the knee and elbow sleeves being promoted, it is not being centered upon as the main focus. It almost seems that the benefits of compression is the highlight of this product. It appears to be the same with the Tommie Copper line as well. The Copper Fit is comprised of 82% polyester,14% Spandex,4% copper and other fibers. The Tommie Copper knee sleeve is comprised of 57% copper nylon, 29% nylon,14% spandex.

The Copper Fit compression knee sleeves caused both of my ankles to swell severely. Once I took the sleeves off my knees returned to normal. I don't believe in this product.
I bought mine with those 99cents stores in NYC for $1.25
I called Copper Fit number online to order a Copper Fit elbow sleeve. I spoke to a MS Quisha who said she would take my order, advising me that since I called from the number listed online, I could buy one item and get one item free. I said that sounds good, you can give me the Copper Fit back support as the free item, my concern is the elbow sleeve. So I questioned MS Quisha again on the order. Ms Quisha stated I could pay an additional fee of $10.00 or $15.00 and get the deluxe copper fit, adding it has 35% more support. MS Quisha reconfirmed my order by telling me I would be receiving my order of the Medium Elbow Sleeve and Back Support within 2-6 weeks. As I said, I ordered these items in question on July 21st 2016. I received the Back support deluxe on July 30th. with no Elbow sleeve in the package. I called Copper Fit customer service Monday, August 1st 2016 and spoke to Rep. Mr. Ross who advised me I had only ordered the Back Support item. I said that's not true! I said check your phone recording of my order call. His reply he doesn't have access to the recorded calls and said I could send back my Back Support and he would remove my charge from my credit card. I said no! Mr. Ross said I can I do anything else for you. I no, I got no help from you and I will not order anything else from Copper Fit again adding I am very upset with Copper Fit and the employee's who to my calls and order. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wore my copper fit knee brace to work by the time the day was over my calf of my leg was all broke our. I need to know it this product has latex in it.
I will tell u this, I golf 1-2 times a week, and run my own business. My elbo (inside) has been a tooth ache on my arm, even finding it hard at times to scratch my head... Tried all kinds of wraps, pain patches, Ice/heat, u name it I tried it.. My 20 yr old daughter came home with a sleeve. Had to try it did t want to hurt her feelings....WITHIN 40 MINUTES MY FREEKIN ARM WAS FEELING BETTER!!!! I WOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED THIS MYSELF AND WOULD NEVER WRITE A REVIEW... I HAD TO! AND IF U HAVE GOLFERS ELBO... I CANT EXPLAIN TO U.. IT WORKS! AND I THINK IM CRAZY FOR THIS WORKING BUT IT DOES!
Just wanted to share what works for me. Bought a large for my knee," it rolled" so went to hardware, bought 8 inches of copper tubing had them cut it in half took it home hammered it flat. Got some elastic sewed it to the elastic, cut it long enough to tie. Put on the copper fit then then home made thing, on top and bottom of knee roll it to be comfortable, and it works for me. Hope it will work for some of you.
Garbage. Fell for the hype, since I have ongoing back problems due to an old spinal compression fracture. This is nothing but a piece of junk. Can't even remotely pull it snug enough to even remotely provide any type of support.
If you really need back support, try one from "Professionals Choice". Yes, about 3 times the price, but THEY DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO & AREN'T CHEAP "AS SOLD ON TV" CRAP.
People--Do your research. If one has physical concerns/issues seek professional medical advice, research your own condition, etc. This "Copper Fit" needs to be audited... Due diligence is required~ on all things. I always say "trust BUT verify". Good Luck
I have been suffering with a torn miniscus of the right knee and have tried everything. I really needed to get an operation, but due to work I could not. I've tried many things to take away the pain. My sister in law told me about the product, my wife picked it up and it works wonderfully. I can actually walk very fast on the thread mill with almost a complete absence of pain. I don't mind paying a little more if it works and this product works!
People are so gullible. What a joke. It's called the placebo effect, and monkey see monkey do. As a chemist, I can tell you beyond doubt that copper is absorbed threw the skin and is a poison even in small amounts. Ever notice how your skin turns green under copper? Do you think that is good for you? Why are copper pots and pans coated with another metal? Because eating food cooked on copper will damage your liver, kidneys, and brains, just to begin with.
As a chemist, I would assume you are educated. Being educated, I would also assume you could spell check your comments before submitting. Stop trying to sound superior than everyone else. Especially if you have trouble spelling.
