In action
How To Measure
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.
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
Best of the best in powerlifting gear. Quick shipping and packaged well.
Amazing, so much support.
We all know SBD sleeves are the industry standard. They are solid sleeves for Powerlifitng. Unlike other brands that are super stiff and breakdown quickly, the weight you move is because of you the lifter and not the sleeves.
Someone at my powerlifting gym said that if he sees someone squatting with knee wraps he doesn’t even count those. Another lifter suggested I purchase the SBD brand. Therefore I made sure I purchased the top of the line with these since squats are my most challenging. Well, they didn’t disappoint! They are unbelievable. Comfortable, secure and giving me good results so far! I didn’t realize how much better they are compared to knee wraps.
great sleeves, came in fast, and everything was great.
Knees feeling fantastic and shooting up squat weight
I love these sleeves! They're very comfy, yet very fit to snug. They're really easy to put on and take off. Plus, it feels like you're not wearing anything with it on. There's no digging into the sides or back of your knees. I Highly recommend these, I've always had the older version but these newer upgraded ones are worth every penny.
Great sturdy knee sleeves, great color (teil color). Runs pretty small so size up 1-2 sizes as they are made in the UK I think so they run smaller. I returned them like twice because the sizing wasn’t right. I got a medium and turns out I am an XL lol. Overall, phenomenal pair of sleeves and great quality material. Shapes your legs nicely as they are skinner taper towards the top of the sleeves on the thighs. I’ve had knee sleeves that are wide all the way around and aren’t tight on the thigh, but these ones make your quads look nicely shaped. Worth the money.
Excellent
This is my second time buying these amazing knee sleeves. I've also owned other name-brand sleeves and they don't hold a candle to the support and long-standing durability of this product. Sizing as shown in the chart provides a very snug fit with superior compressive support. 1000X recommended!
knee sleeves from SBD my whole life because I genuinely believe they make the best ones on the market.The only reason I am giving them a four instead of a five is the powerlifting ones seem to have a rather abrasive material on them and if you are not careful it will rip your skin when putting them on. I usually fold them and use my hands to position them, but when I did it with this pair it tore the skin off both my middle fingers. They have felt amazing otherwise, just wanted to write this review to hopefully stop other people from tearing skin.
Good ones
Tighter than the normal knees sleeves, requires breaking in definitely
I loved it after it cNs in
Doesn’t fit
I didn't like how my ordered was delayed and stated that they requires more information for the address. got me scared
As close to wearing knee wraps while using sleeves as you can get. You can really feel the extra support. Fit is very tight, especially getting over larger calves so read the size chart well. Getting on (and off) is quite the task. It is a sure thing they will break in and loosen up a little.
Perfect
Awesome fit. They feel great. Look great too.
Very nice I love
Quality was great but had to return because too small. Just returned and ordered two sizes bigger 👍🥰
Confused about sizing, ended up with a L and it fits
At kneecap, my knee is 16.5 inches, but measured slightly lower (right beneath midpoint of kneecap), it drops down to 15 inches. Calf is 16 inches. Was supposed to be an XL but got L and it was the right move
i got the 2XL only to make sure it fits over my calf muscles. I measured correctly and they fit perfectly however, they run a bit long for me but that is because i am vertically challenged. so nothing wrong with the product. solid material and love the compression around my knees.
The powerlifting knee sleeves exceeded my expectations. Very durable.
Best knee sleeves in the game
Very goodquality product, stiffness not to standard.
Amazing absolutely love them
Nice and stiff, good fit with a little corn starch powder on the knees.
