Developed in collaboration with world-class weightlifters and athletes, our Weightlifting Knee Sleeves provide compression and support through a wider range of motion.
Featuring an abrasion-resistant material and 5mm thickness for a greater stretch, perfect for dynamic movements.
IPF Approved & IWF Compliant Knee Sleeves (sold as a pair). The 'Torque' design spreads the stress on the seam during deep knee flexion, allowing for improved support and performance during heavy strength training. Manufactured exclusively in Great Britain.
Relied on by strength athletes around the world, these 5mm knee sleeves are ideal for weightlifting and provide support for movements with a greater range of motion than a powerlifting squat.
We recommend hand washing your knee sleeves with water or a mild detergent (or a specialist neoprene/wetsuit detergent), then allow the sleeves to air dry standing up.
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).
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.

Phoenix is a limited edition collection, offering the same performance and manufactured to the same high standards as our classic product line.
Product is of great quality. This is for a loved one recovering from a knee injury. The original order was too small and the team at SBD made the exchange process seamless. 10/10 experience for me.
They are very well made and top quality. The only thing is the length. I feel mine could be about 2” shorter. I just need to protect mu knees not my thigh or calves.
This knee sleeve is fantastic. The quality is top notch, and the performance and reliability that you receive from them is great. I can honestly say without a doubt these are by far the best knee sleeves on the market. I would also state that they are the only and last pair you’re ever going to need.
I’m really enjoying these knee sleeves as they’ve inspired a new confidence in my squat and leg press. I’ve been having some minor knee issues for a while and although these are not a cure, they really are making a difference whether it be mental or a true physical response. Either works for me. Highly recommended.
Even tho I use the powerlifting 7mm for my weightlifting, I love the 5mm ones for any other purposes. Lifting in pourcentages and you want a little more support, these are the knee sleeves you need.
