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.
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).
These are great I had them for a little over half a year and have eliminated my knee pain after or during squatting there a little pricey but are a great investment.
As recommended to me by my much stronger powerlifting friend (he has 4 pairs of these) - they feel amazing and do the work for you. I've squatted without knee sleeves for the entirety of my lifting career and didn't realize what an advantage these give vs going bare. Only 1 helpful con I can write about this is that the 'black' color that you see in the picture is actually a really, really dark midnight blue. You'll start to see it that way depending on how much light your gym has but yeah - not enough for me to not give it 5 stars. Personally I wish it was just black but functionality wise I have nothing bad to say about them. I'm 5'9" 182lbs and size M fit tight + true to size the way they're supposed to be
Like any other SBD knee sleeve, its super comfortable, breathable, and gives me the feeling of secureness. I bought a new pair of sleeves due to my old pair, the original SBD, being too much of a pain to put on now (the old pair was a size under for extra tightness). I ordered the Defy pair at the intended size and its been amazing for destroying accessory work for legs, and the unique colours also gives some flare to it. Only had it for a while, so I cannot give a review in wear and tear, but I assume it would be exactly the same as fhe original SBD knee sleeves. I would reccomend.
