Element 26 Knee Sleeves for Weightlifting (Sold as a Pair) - 6mm Premium Neoprene for Compression, Mobility, and Warmth - Compression Sleeve for Functional Fitness, Squats, Deadlifts (Medium, Black)

These knee sleeves are ideal for my leg days (squats, lunges, etc.). The compression is just right. Enough to support my knees during heavy lifts but not too much that I can't get really low in my squats. Also, it takes very little time for my knees to loosen up. One set into my warm up and my knees are warm, loose, and ready to go. Highly recommended.

I started CrossFit at the beginning of January. Before CrossFit, I had occasional knee pain, primarily during longer runs. I found that my knee pain became more noticeable, longer lasting and bit more severe after heavy lifting classes that featured movements like squats, deadlifts, thrusters, etc.I finally realized I needed to try to do something and I didn't want to stop the various lifting. Talked to several other members and they recommended I give knee sleeves a try. These have worked better than I ever expected. My knees definitely feel more "stable" and less painful during class. More importantly, they are much less painful in the days afterward. I should state that I have nothing to compare these to, but they are well constructed, fit great, are comfortable and do not limit my movements in any way.

These work great! I was looking for an alternative to wraps for most working sets. These keep my knees warm and supported. Quality seems to be on par with the more expensive brands that I've used.

I'm so glad I read the sizing and measured before ordering. I'm always so surprised at the sizing as I'm not that big and needed to grab a large. These are snug - the edges dig in a little, which I find slightly uncomfortable, but like the compression, so I'm going to keep them. They feel durable right now.

These knee sleeves provide excellent support and compression for my knees during workouts. They are made of high-quality material that is durable and comfortable to wear.I would highly recommend these knee sleeves to anyone looking for extra support and protection for their knees during physical activity. They have made a noticeable difference in my performance and I will definitely be purchasing another pair in the future.The customer service was exceptional, I ordered a wrong size and their support team responded promptly, professionally and sent me the right size for free

Thet are perfect. Good compression. The knee support is quite remarkable.

I find I need my SBD 7mm sleeves to prevent knee pain for squats. However, these 6mm sleeves have been great for deadlifts and other lifts where I want some real support but can wear them for an entire workout. I find the SBD 7mm sleeves need to be tight to work effectively and this is uncomfortable for an entire workout. These sleeves go on easily and are comfortable. My only complaint is they could be an inch or two longer to be easier to position for support. They are relatively new so I cannot talk to durability, but they seem like they are as well made as my SBDs and I hope to enjoy similar longevity (5-years and counting).

UPDATE: 11/23/24:For easy install - turn inside out and upside down.Bring just below your knee and pull up from the bottom which turns them right side up. No need for baby powder. Ive been using them 3x a week for martial arts / knee drips & spins and sparring. Continues to offer great protection! Highly recommend.Measured my knee three times as instructed. When the knee sleeves arrived they were so tight i could not get them up. Sprinkled some baby powder on my knee area and they slipped right on. I am an Advanced martial artist and horse trainer Riding Instructor. Work all day on my feet carrying heavy saddles, heavy wheelbarrows, and buck hay. Weak knees due to past injury. These sleeves are perfect support for jump kicks, jumping off ranch equipment and did I mention I’m 61 years old.If you are looking for strong support these are perfect. If you are over weight, these are not for you due to the top and bottom band structures will cut off your circulation or be uncomfortable and even painful. These are strong support made for athletes.
