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 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.
  1. Measure the circumference of the knee over the patella with a straight but relaxed leg
  2. Measure around the widest part of your calf with a straight but relaxed leg
  3. Use the greater measurement to find your size
  4. If you want a tight fit best suited to powerlifting we recommend sizing down.

A regular fitting knee sleeve will be snug.

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).

Superior product

From the outset, the superior quality is evident on first inspection. Excellent fit and performance. I was initially concerned with sizing (instinctively I wanted to size up). But I stuck with the reference guide and it was spot on.

High quality material, provides excellent stability and support for knees during heavy squats

The product is made of high quality material and provides excellent knee stability and support during heavy squats. Putting it on and off is not difficult and you can wear it comfortably for the entire gym session. I exchanged the 2XL with an XL for a better fit. Support was very helpful and the return process was easy. It's only been a week since I got the knee sleeve but it looks like it's durable and will last long.
