Nordic Lifting Knee Sleeves (1 Pair) Support & Compression for Weightlifting, Powerlifting & CrossFit - 7mm Neoprene Sleeve for the Best Squats - Both Women & Men, Black, Large

These sleeves are helpful on leg day. They've helped give stability and kept my knees warm during squats. They're a smidge tight, but if i had sized up i feel like they wouldn't have been quite tight enough.I have long fingernails, which have kind of pilled the exterior fabric from gripping them to pull them up, but not to a point where it effects the quality of them.

I am 188 cm and 95 Kg, I bought the large and fits well. I really notice a difference when wearing these, I am able to push myself a bit more increasing weight. I have a bad left knew from old Football and Track injury and these help relieve the pain.

I recently bought a pair of Nordic Lifting elbow sleeves and also knee sleeves to help with my weight lifting. I'm following the 5 x 5 Stronglift program which requires heavy lifting 3 times a week including exercises such as dead lifts, squats, bench press and military press etc. After several weeks of this program I was starting to get soreness in my elbows and after watching a few youtube videos of professional lifters I decided to invest in some protection. I considered cheaper products but decided to pay a bit extra in the hope of getting a good quality product that would last. I was not disappointed. The Nordic sleeves are of exceptional quality, great fit as per the size guide and a very comfortable fit. They provide a good amount of support and keep your elbows and knees warm during the workout which is helpful to prevent injury. They are very easy to slip on and off which is a major advantage over wraps. I'm glad I bought these and would recommend to anyone for weight lifting or other sports requiring joint support. Nordic contacted me soon after my purchase just to check I had received them and was happy with them, seems like good customer service.

I purchased the Nordic Neoprene Compression Knee Sleeves for running a suburban North Atlanta, GA (Roswell) route with many hills and valleys. I had a meniscus tear repaired in 2012. In addition, sometimes my knees feel a little unstable from many years of playing basketball on New York City playgrounds.Prior to my purchase, I read many of the reviews, and several folks complained of large amounts of sweat on the neoprene sleeves after a good workout. So in addition to purchasing the Nordic Knee Sleeves, I also bought a couple pairs of the 3M Ace Knitted Knee Support ( 3M Ace Knitted Knee Support, Medium ) to wear under the sleeves to soak up most of the moisture. This combination works beautifully [for me]! Once I remove the Nordic sleeves after a run, they have a little bit of surface moisture that is easily wiped away with a towel, but at least 90% or more of the moisture is absorbed by the Ace Knitted Knee Support. My suggestion to the folks at Nordic is to consider designing and manufacturing an absorbent, lightweight, and fitted companion sleeve to wear underneath the Nordic Neoprene Compression Sleeve. If you don't, I will.Regarding the functionality of the Nordic Knee Sleeves, in a word; SUPERB! The circumference of my knee, mid patella, measures 16.5 inches. I chose the Large size for the Nordic Compression Sleeve, and the L/XL size for the Ace Knitted Knee Support. Once I put on the Ace Knitted Knee Support, I roll-up the Nordic Compression Sleeve and pull it up to the bottom of the Ace Knitted Knee Support. Then I unroll the Nordic Compression Sleeve up over the Ace Knitted Knee Support. The result is a tight fit with evenly distributed compression on the knee cap, and above and below the patella.The course I run used to take me 50 minutes to complete, because it was uncomfortable running uphill. Now that I'm wearing the Nordic Neoprene Compression Sleeve, I've reduced that time to 41 minutes in less than a week because I can now run uphill instead of walking; slowly but surely building my stamina. The best part is, my knees are not hurting after I complete a run!Regarding fit and finish, the Nordic Knee Sleeve is very well constructed with a contour that fits above and below my knee perfectly. The neoprene is a thick material with a durable, high quality feel. The stitching is top notch throughout. In addition to the high quality construction of the Nordic Knee Sleeves, the packaging too is first-rate.This product feels like it will last for years, which is sort of depressing because I really want a second pair, but just can't justify it. Which brings me to the price; THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN! If you're in the market for a pair of well designed, well constructed, top quality, reasonably priced knee compression sleeves, then check out the Nordic Knee Sleeves. 3M Ace Knitted Knee Support, Medium

I'm 21 years old so I don't really have any joint problems, but after my first leg workout I could easily tell these would help prolong the time it would take for my knees to take a hit in the joint department even with my lifting hobby. My gym is, unfortunately, heavily air conditioned, and I noticed my knees would get stiff between sets due to the fact that it was cold and I tend to workout in gym shorts and a t-shirt. The first 2-3 reps would feel very tight and I would feel a very slight pain in my knees as I got to heavier and heavier weight. This is partially due to a new physically demanding job where I very very frequently squat and pick up objects around 30-50 pounds because I've never had the issue before. However, after these arrived I slipped them on and they were a little tight in my opinion (I ordered one size smaller so it would be sure to fit and not be loose). DON'T BE ALARMED IF IT SEEMS TOO TIGHT. I was actually a little worried but I wore them around the house for a little while and then did one leg workout and they fit extraordinarily comfortable since then on. They do exactly what I needed them to which is keep my knees warm through the entire workout and provide a decent amount of support for my heavier sets so I didn't have lingering knee pain through the next few days and at work. They're nothing like knee sleeves, these are simply for slight support and to help keep your knee joint warm to keep that awesome synovial fluid flowing to help prevent knee pain. They're so comfortable, in fact, that I could wear them around the house if I wanted to and they keep my knees nice and toasty. Awesome purchase, and a much better deal then the Rehband sleeves that come at $40 a sleeve for a total of $80. I've never worn the Rehbands but I can tell you these work wonders as well and will save you $30. I'll definitely be considering Nordic Lifting for more of my athletic equipment purchases.
