- Knee Sleeves for Weightlifting - 6mm Neoprene Compression Support for Squats, Deadlifts, Cross Training, Powerlifting - Pair of Knee Braces for Men & Women with Gym Bag - L, Black

I’ve been lifting for a while and tried a few different knee sleeves, but these really hit the sweet spot between support and comfort. The first thing I noticed is the quality of the material. The 6mm neoprene feels durable and provides solid compression without being overly stiff. It gives enough support for heavier lifts like squats and deadlifts, while still allowing good mobility — which is something thicker sleeves sometimes lack. During workouts, they do a great job keeping my knees warm and stable. I’ve noticed less discomfort during higher volume sessions, especially on leg days. They also don’t slide down like some cheaper sleeves I’ve used before, which is a huge plus. Fit is important with these, and once you get the right size, they feel snug in a good way — supportive without cutting off circulation. After multiple sessions, they’ve held up really well with no stretching out or seam issues. Another thing I like is that they’re versatile. Whether you’re doing CrossFit-style workouts or more traditional strength training, they perform consistently across the board. If I had to mention anything, it’s that getting them on can be a bit tight at first — but that’s expected with proper compression sleeves. Overall, these are a solid upgrade if you’re serious about training and want reliable knee support without sacrificing movement. Great balance of performance, durability, and comfort — I’d definitely buy them again.

These knee sleeves are ideal for my leg days (squats, lunges, etc.). The compression is just right. Enough to support my knees during heavy lifts but not too much that I can't get really low in my squats. Also, it takes very little time for my knees to loosen up. One set into my warm up and my knees are warm, loose, and ready to go. Highly recommended.

I started CrossFit at the beginning of January. Before CrossFit, I had occasional knee pain, primarily during longer runs. I found that my knee pain became more noticeable, longer lasting and bit more severe after heavy lifting classes that featured movements like squats, deadlifts, thrusters, etc. I finally realized I needed to try to do something and I didn't want to stop the various lifting. Talked to several other members and they recommended I give knee sleeves a try. These have worked better than I ever expected. My knees definitely feel more "stable" and less painful during class. More importantly, they are much less painful in the days afterward. I should state that I have nothing to compare these to, but they are well constructed, fit great, are comfortable and do not limit my movements in any way.

(Update 5/31/22) So I've had these knee sleeves a few months and noticed that the fabric is separating from the neoprene on the inside. They still are great knee sleeves for stability but disappointed the material is separating. I purchased the XL knee sleeves they feel great so far. My only concern was a crease down the center that left the neoprene thin hopefully this doesn't cause any issues. When used daily but otherwise they feel great. Update 2/23/24 Last August I purchased a second pair the only problem is they are starting to slouch. My first pair of knee sleeves were stiffer and the second pair I bought in August seems to be a softer material but otherwise holding up to almost daily use. Still a great product. I will definitely buy again

Great product, holds up. Fades a bit after time but that's wear and tear after good use in 1-2 years. Great cushioning, tight fit, I wear them almost everyday so I can play on wooden floors with my toddler or take a knee in an airport McDonalds line holding my kid while everyone strains their back. I also run hot and wear shorts if it is about 30-40F in Chicago, and these can keep me warm if it gets chilly.

Perfect amount of support, and they wash up easily.

I bought these about 2 weeks ago and have worn them daily since receiving. I purposely waited on writing the review until I had time to wear them. I have been wearing the 7mm blue popular brand for several years now and was ready for my 4th set. I reached out to E26 directly and asked them some questions about use, stability and wear and the 6mm vs. the 7mm. To my surprise Phil Gauthier answered me. When then had several back and forth emails about the product and use. With that customer service without even buying the product I decided to give them a try. The initial fit is much tighter than the blue ones. As the knee sleeves get used I am sure they will loosen however these will still be tighter and give more compression than what you are expecting even if you are going from a 7mm to the 6mm. I have now lifted, squatted, box jumped, and ran in various WOD's and they are very comfortable, high quality and slightly tighter than the 7mm (but not uncomfortable). The main reasons I will highly recommend them are 1) amazing customer service 2) you get 2 for the price of 1 of the blue branded ones 3) given the quality I believe these will last much longer than the blue ones.

Knees started getting tweaky. I'm 49. Decided to give these a go - even though I had to eat import taxes. These E26 knee sleeves kept popping up on "Best Knee Sleeves List" - I don't know if they're the best but I'm really happy with `em. I was sorta between sizes and sized em smaller (even though I'm a big guy) - and it's a perfect, snug fit. Made an immediate difference with my BB split-squats... felt much more stable. Was able to keep it all tight- and helped (I swear) me flex- and keep things actively stabilized. I am a new-user - and only been a few workouts. I cannot attest to longevity - though workmanship looks good, and I hope they last. Thanks E26! Nice product.

Breakfast your PRs and not you back

Good item

Been brilliant to help support the knee when squatting and helps the drive up due to the material being elastic, I normally put these on when I get to 100Kg and go from there and had no issues since using these.

Buena calidad

I starred feeling pain in my knees after my squats session, that’s why I decided to try a knee support and it really helped me. I don’t have too much pain now and it makes me feel more confident while squatting.
