The updated 7mm knee sleeves offer the same great support as the original knee sleeves, but now incorporate antimicrobial technology to minimize bacteria and reduce odour, feature an improved inner lining with greater grip and resistance to runs, and use the latest advancements in the spiral seam to reinforce the construction. 

Our Knee Sleeves are worn by more International Powerlifting Federation World Champions than any other brand. They combine maximum quality and performance to provide superior support and longevity. Designed to the maximum specifications allowed in the IPF (7mm thick, 30cm tall), combined with premium neoprene and strengthened seams. Manufactured exclusively in Great Britain.  

They were designed in collaboration with elite athletes, coaches, and medical professionals. The 'Torque' design spreads the stress on the seam during deep knee flexion, allowing for improved support and performance during heavy strength training. 

  • 7mm high grade neoprene for maximal support.
  • Upgraded reinforced seam construction to maximise
    longevity.
  • Designed to minimize the risk of injury and aid performance.
  • IPF approved and IWF compliant with the maximum
    allowable 30cm length.
  • Sold as a pair
  • Manufactured in Great Britain

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.

Forge is a limited edition collection, offering the same performance and manufactured to the same high standards as our classic product line.

Wrong size received

Contacted customer support twice and no response. Bought size L and inside the package was size XL . Not happy to pay for shipping twice- order and return.

Best purchase ever

I used to dread squats and any workout that required me to bend my knees because of the extreme pain and discomfort I would feel. These sleeves have helped me tremendously. Not only have I been able to squat heavier (heaviest I’ve ever squatted) but also comfortably. I don’t feel any pain at all while wearing these sleeves. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

If I could give 6 stars, I would

The comfort and confidence that come to you immediately after sliding these beauty’s on is unparalleled. I bought them for joint longevity and protection, but it was a bonus to see my deadlift go up by 40lbs the first time I used them. So worth the $$$

Solid!

My cheapo fabric type knee sleeves ripped, I decided it was time to invest in a proper neoprene sleeve. These did not disappoint, I recommend to anyone who takes their squats seriously and is looking to keep progressing. The Large fits just right for me. I didn't need to size up or down

Got the medium, although on high end of med and low end of large for sizing. Medium fit well.

I don’t know I squatted without these before. Now hitting PRs with confidence and security. If you train for the long game these are a must have.

Disappointed with sizing

I ordered a size down from my measurements. One sleeve is perfect but the other seems to be a size smaller, even though the tag says both are the same size. I tried it on both legs, and it takes a lot to get it past my calf. To be safe, stick to your true measurements.

New 7mm is thinner than the original ones

The new 7mm is not as thick or stiff as the original 7mm (2013 version). It is a disappointment that the quality decreases over time.

The knee sleeves are constructed with the same neoprene as the previous version. One reason they can feel less stiff is that neoprene will stiffen up over time as it is heated and cooled, so an older pair will feel more stiff, especially if you allow them to properly air dry after wearing them by standing them on end. This will result in them stiffening into a tube shape.
The other possibility is that since neoprene is a manufactured product there can be some variance in the density between batches, however the variance is quite small.

After having my old knee sleeves stolen from the gym, I was recommended by a friend to try SBD sleeves. I was not disappointed! The quality is excellent, durable and most importantly supportive giving an extra sense of stability in my lifts. Very happy!

Still consistent!

Second time around getting these! Old pair wore out after getting good use. These are excellent and a reliable product. No issues, very comfortable and supportive. They also have a many year shelf life and for someone who has had knee issues they always support my physical needs. The only downside is the initial fit; if you want them to be effective they have to be snug, however the working in stage they literally take minutes to put on. After about 5-10 workouts it becomes easier. That is the only downside. Highly satisfied and would consistently recommend.

Incredible!

I ordered these to combat some hip pain that started from the knees and wore them for one session and most of the load on my knee was virtually gone!
10/10 would very much recommend for power lifters although 7mm may be a little to much for regular weightlifting:)
