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.

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

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).

Ease of Fitting

With its maximal compression, the 7mm Powerlifting Knee Sleeve is a tight-fitting sleeve. Thanks to heavyweight linings, edging, and seams designed to withstand even the most aggressive fitting.

7mm Knee Sleeves offer a moderate fitting. This level of tightness provides a close, snug fit around the knee joint without being too tight. They provide support to the knee muscles and ligaments throughout all movements.

Easier fitting compared to the other two sleeves without requiring excessive pulling or adjusting. This greater flexibility is essential for preserving mobility through greater ranges of motion.
