Knee Sleeves
Other 7mm Standard Knee Sleeves
This is the original 7mm knee sleeve, the new heavy duty version can be found here.
Our updated 7mm knee sleeves offer the same great support as the original knee sleeves, but now incorporate antimicrobial technology to minimise 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.
SBD 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.

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.
