5mm Knee Sleeves for Functional Training, Cross-Training & Powerlifting, Weightlifting Knee Support made of Neoprene, Unisex, Colour:Carbon/Black - 1 Pair, Size:Small

I started CrossFit about ten months ago and one of my weak points are my knees. Due to age, some mild arthritis, and mostly living a sedentary life, my knees always bothered me while doing any workouts that put strain on them. So squats, lunges, box jumps, shuttle runs, sprints, running, etc. were doable, but I paid for them with knee pain and soreness. Doing just body-weight lunges up and down the length of the gym would sometimes cause one of my knees to swell up and hurt for a day or two.So after shambling around for a few months, I decided to buy some knee sleeves. I had seen others at my gym wearing Rehband knee sleeves, but I never really paid attention to them. I picked up a pair of cheaper knee sleeves and they were good. The amount of support they gave me was fine and I improved fairly well in my movement with them. But I still could not do the more demanding movements, like lunges.So I finally broke down and asked my coach to recommend a set and he told me to "just go with Rehband, the 5mm ones". He did warn me that they cost around $40 for each sleeve, but that they are worth it.I measured my leg and I fell in at 38 cm, which is right in the center for a LARGE set of sleeves. I got them in and wore them for about a week and they were fine, but not that much better than the cheaper ones I was using before.I contacted Rehband to get some advice, and they suggested I size down to MEDIUM and try that for a week. I did so, and this has been my first week using them and they have been amazing. Yes, they felt tight and a little restrictive the first time I wore them, but they quickly broke-in and now their fit is great.So this week we had heavy workouts with 50 wallballs, 40 slamballs, 6x6 deadlifts, 150 feet lunge walks, goblet squats, and American kettlebell swings and I tell you what, I was able to do all of them like a champ!For the first time, I did 50 wallballs with only one break in the set, increased the weight of my slamball to 30 lbs. from 20 lbs., PR'ed on my 6x6 deadlifts and split-jerks, and actually completed three rounds of 150 foot lunge walks.Before, after a workout, I'd go home and take a shower and then my knees would hurt when I tried to get up from our couch. I felt like a creaky old man when trying to stand back up. These past few days, my knees have not had any pain. After doing three rounds of 150 foot lunge walks yesterday, which is the first time I've ever done that volume of lunges ever, I was able to go back to the gym today and do a full workout without pain or soreness.These knee sleeves are amazing and they actually live up to the hype. They are worth every penny you spend on them, and I was so impressed with them, I was seriously thinking of ordering another pair for myself in case this company stops making these wonderful knee sleeves in the future.The sleeves are well made, fit tight and don't move during your workout, keep your knees warm, and they hold your entire knee area together so well with perfect support, that you don't have to worry about that area and you can focus on pushing yourself and completing the workout.Verdict: Highly Recommended

I love these knee sleeves because they are just the right amount of support without being too thick that you can't move around. These are great for crossfit or other metcon type of workouts because you can wear them while squatting and keep them on for other movements as well. My knees are not as sore if I wear them while squatting and they are not too thick so I can still wear them while doing other things like running, jumping rope, toes to bar, etc. where thicker knee sleeves impede my movement sometimes. They do slip down a little bit if I wear them over leggings, but if they are flush against my skin (when I'm wear shorts) they stay up pretty well. But all the knee sleeves I've ever tried slip down a little bit, so it's not a big deal. After a few washes, I throw them in the washing machine and they come out good as new. These are a great deal!

These sleeves are great. They exactly what I was looking for after a major knee injury. They truly helped me in my recovery which is at 8 weeks now. Still a few more weeks to go. The sizing chart is on point if followed correctly. Mine do not slide down. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for extreme knee support.

I've tried so many brands, and I really love these ones. They have really good support, but aren't holding up the best. I'm super bummed that the logos are peeling off. It makes them look old and terrible. They are starting to slide a bit too. I've only been wearing them a few months so I'm bummed they seem to be wearing out fast.

The sizing guide is accurate. My calf is 40cm around and I bought a size Large. If you buy the correct size they will not slip. I find them to be very comfortable and like how well they fit around my quads. They are the perfect thickness for the moderate weight training I do. But, if you lift very heavy and need sturdier support I would suggest buying 7mm sleeves.

Probably the best knee braces that I've ever used. These are very comfortable and supportive. I use them prophylactically for a bum knee while playing golf. They work great.

well made and great item very hot after half hour or such. i am a former bodybuilder having used neoprene supports on other joints. I was aware that being tight is a must for support. My lifting days were thirty years ago, now I need them for arthritis. standing and walking in my house daily. Neoprene stretches after a lot of use. Get ready to replace them ever month. Two with less use.

Ive been wearing Rehband knee sleeves for over 13 years—yes, that long—and finally had to replace my original pair after they gave out. After years of CrossFit, my knees have definitely earned the right to complain, but these sleeves keep them supported, stable, and way less crackly.The 5mm thickness is perfect for heavy lifts and high-volume workouts without feeling bulky. They stay in place, offer great compression, and are super durable (clearly). If you’re looking for knee support that can go the distance, these are the ones.
