What are Knee Sleeves?
Knee sleeves are compressive garments typically made of neoprene or similar materials that are worn over the knee joint. They are designed to provide support, stability, and compression to the knee during physical activities, particularly weightlifting, powerlifting, CrossFit, running, and other forms of exercise.
Benefits of Knee Sleeves
- Enhanced Support and Stability: Knee sleeves act like extra support for your knees, helping you move with more confidence and reducing your risk of injury. Perfect for exercises like squats, lunges, and powerlifting.
- Improved Performance: Knee sleeves stabilize the knee joint. This can improve performance in activities like heavy lifting and explosive movements.
- Reduced Pain: Knee sleeves are helpful if you're dealing with some knee pain. They offer gentle compression that can ease discomfort and help your knees heal properly.
- Improved Circulation and Recovery: Some studies suggest knee sleeves might improve blood flow, which could help your muscles bounce back quicker after a tough workout.
Features of Knee Sleeves
- Thickness: Knee sleeves come in various thicknesses, with 7mm sleeves offering the most support, particularly for powerlifting and heavy lifting. Thinner options provide more flexibility and are suitable for activities like running or jumping.
- Material: Neoprene is the most common material for knee sleeves due to its breathability, comfort, and ability to provide excellent compression.
- Closure System: Knee sleeves typically utilize a sleeve design for easy on and off, while some may include straps with buckles or velcro for added adjustability.
- Size Options: Finding the right size is crucial for optimal performance. A snug but comfortable fit ensures proper support and stability without restricting movement.

How to Measure Guide
Knee Circumference:
- Fully extend your leg and relax your muscles. Measure the circumference of your knee joint.
- Wrap the measuring tape around the center of your kneecap (at the patella).
Calf Measurement:
- Measure around the thickest part of your calf.
Size Considerations:
- If your calf is more than 4cm larger than your knee, consider sizing up for a better fit.
- For a tight fit ideal for powerlifting and squatting, consider sizing down.
- A regular fitting knee sleeve will provide a snug fit.
Care Guide for Knee Sleeves
To ensure the longevity and performance of your sleeves, follow these care instructions:
- Hand-Wash Only: Gently hand-wash your knee piece using water or a mild detergent. You may also use a specialist neoprene/wetsuit detergent for optimal care.
- Air Dry Standing Up: After washing, allow them to air dry while standing up. This helps maintain their shape and prevents damage that could occur if laid flat.
- Avoid Washing Machine Spin Cycle: The spin cycle of a washing machine can harm the sleeves. When they get wet, they become bulky. Using the spin cycle may cause them to get caught or damaged.
- Say No to High Heat: Avoid exposing your sleeves to high heat, whether from a washing machine or a dryer. Excessive heat can degrade the rubber in the sleeves. This may lead to shrinkage or brittleness.
