What are Knee Sleeves?

CrossFit, powerlifting and bodybuilding involve different types of lifting gear that can come in handy. Consider items like Lifting Belts and Wrist Straps, for example. In addition, serious strength athletes often use Knee Sleeves.

Knee Sleeves provide support for your knees and are constructed from sturdy neoprene. They are available in different thicknesses, ranging from 5mm to 7mm. Depending on this thickness, they give you more control while performing your exercises. Moreover, they reduce pressure on the knee joint, which helps to prevent injuries more effectively.

Our collection of powerlifting knee sleeves is designed to enhance your performance. In addition, they help retain heat well thanks to the durable neoprene. Neoprene is the same material used in wetsuits and provides warmth to joints and tendons.

The warmth improves blood circulation in joints and reduces muscle stiffness. This provides more flexibility in and around the knee.
