Introducing the most supportive SBD knee sleeve. Designed for competitive powerlifters that need the maximum possible support from their sleeves.
The 7mm powerlifting knee sleeves offer enhanced compression and maximal surface contact, as the sleeve molds to the joint through the entire range of motion. Maintaining compression, and avoiding gapping during flexion means that the knee joint is supported consistently throughout the lift.

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.
- Measure the circumference of the knee over the patella with a straight but relaxed leg
- Measure around the widest part of your calf with a straight but relaxed leg
- Use the greater measurement to find your size
- If you want a tight fit best suited to powerlifting 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.
Measure the circumference of your knee joint with your leg out straight, keeping your muscles relaxed. Measure around the center of your kneecap (at the patella), and around the thickest part of your calf. If your calf is more than 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.
We recommend hand washing your knee sleeves with water, mild detergent, or a specialist neoprene or wetsuit detergent, then allowing the sleeves to air dry standing up.
Hand Wash Only: Do not wash in the washing machine.
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).
