Measure the circumference of your knee joint with your leg out straight, keeping your muscles relaxed.If you are new to wearing knee sleeves we recommend going with the recommended fit instead of sizing down, especially if you fall on size medium or smaller.
In action
How To Measure
Measure the circumference of your knee joint with your leg out straight, keeping your muscles relaxed. Measure around the centre of your kneecap (at the patella), and around the thickest part of your calf. If your calf is more than 4cm (1.6in) larger than your knee, then you may wish to size up to ensure a good fit.
If you want a tight fit best suited to powerlifting and squatting, we recommend sizing down. A regular fitting knee sleeve will be snug.
If you are new to wearing knee sleeves we recommend going with the recommended fit instead of sizing down, especially if you fall on size medium or smaller.
Care instructions
We recommend hand washing your knee sleeves with water or a mild detergent (or a specialist neoprene/wetsuit detergent), then allow the sleeves to air dry standing up.
The spin cycle of a washing machine can damage the sleeve, as the knee sleeves become quite bulky when wet and can potentially get caught up or damaged by wringing. High heat from a washing machine or a dryer will degrade the rubber in the sleeves (potentially causing shrinkage or brittleness).

Reviews
Purchased these knee sleeves for my son, who is currently training for the CrossFit IF3 Teens at the end of August, where he will be hopefully representing the UK.
He absolutely loves them! They’ve given him so much more confidence when performing his lifts, while still being flexible enough to allow full movement during his gymnastics movements.
We’re really impressed with the quality, fit and support they provide. Would definitely recommend them — a great purchase! 💪🇬🇧
Fit well to the size chart seem to help
Absolutely perfect. Dropped the ego lifting recently to do a show. The A7’s were far to rigid these are the perfect balance between comfort and support. Oh and stylish!!
I got these knee sleeves as I have dodgy knees at 62 yrs old. Excellent quality and fit - great support, comfortable and do not slip. Very easy to clean too. Totally recommend for older gym users.
Fantastic. Tight obviously, but you get used to it and the support they give is top notch. Great quality item.
Posted quick
There is a huge difference in knee stability, which makes me less anxious. I am very pleased with that! In addition, the customer service was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a size too small, and everything was exchanged without any problems and very quickly.
Perfect
Amazing
Grest knee sleeves, great support
Excellent

Absolutely perfect, quality is amazing
Very good quality and great service
High quality. Great fit.
These sleeves have a rep for being the best and they live up to the hype. No notes.
Measure your knee. I bought wrong size as a gift. Customer service and exchange brilliant. Product was great quality.
I wasn’t sure if I should buy medium or large but SBD answered my query straight away and suggested large, I’m really pleased with them, I can get them on and off without too much effort, great support when squatting, thoroughly recommend them
Fantastic product recommended by a friend and best thing i have bought really good customer service as i got tje wrong size first they were really helpful. Its a workout getting them on but highly worth it
A good fit and they give good support
So far so good. Comfortable and feels great on in my workouts. Onwards and upwards
Feel safer using these knee sleeves, getting deeper on squats. Great quality, went down one size for more of a tighter fit. Definitely recommend!
The best love then
I started using velcro knee supports due to knee pain during squatting. They helped a lot, so I decided to invest in some more expensive knee sleeves in hope of not having to re-adjust them between each set. Having used the sizing guide, I feared I ordered the wrong size, as could not get them on, but after youtubing it, I realised this is how they are meant to be and I just needed to use the right technique. Once on, they fit comfortably, stay put for the entire workout and most importantly, stop my knee pain so I squat with confidence.
A tangible quality that transmits confidence for new records! Love them!
Warm and well protected knees for squats
Love it
Great
Ordered the wrong size and was quickly rectified. Great product that is considerably better than others available
Excellent quality and services
Great, my size was between L and XL and I went with L. Tight fit but feel great. Certainly give me more confidence moving weight.
