Bear KompleX Knee Sleeves for Men & Women - 5mm/7mm Compression & Heat Retention Neoprene Compression Knee Brace for Weightlifting, Squats & Powerlifting

They’re true to size from my older knee sleeves. I chose the 7mm size from reading other reviews. They’re new so they are a bit tighter than expected, but it looks like they’re going to last me a long time. I tried these out because I wanted to use a giftcard and was on the hunt for some white knee sleeves (not a common color that I see in the gym). My pug seems to agree with the look too.

I bought these knee sleeves after getting fed up with my Rehband 5mm sleeves only lasting 3 months before stretching and sliding. I having been doing CrossFit for 3 years and have used Rehband 5 and 7 mm size medium sleeves which are very expensive. With Bear KompleX, I wasn't sure about sizing and bought the Large 5 mm since I measured 15.5" and figured I would just give them a try. I immediately noticed that they are longer than the Rehbands and fit great right out of the box (this can help eliminate the need for shin skins for rope climbs and deadlifts). After 3 workouts, I noticed a little bit of sliding BUT the knee was always covered and supported unlike my Rehbands that would slide down too far. I thought maybe a Medium would be better but then read another reviewer say that when they went a size down, the sleeve wouldn't fit over their calf. I feel that I would have that problem too. I believe that the slipping is just caused from working out in a nasty humid environment where everything gets very wet during a workout. These are still by far better that the Rehbands which every CrossFitter defaults to. I would like to try the 7mm just to see if that is a little tighter and see how they would perform. I also just wrote a review on the belt I bought from this company. They seem to get great reviews so I thought I would try them out. I am very happy with my purchases and will continue to support them. I made 2 separate orders so I did not take advantage of their offer codes to save on additional product purchases. With the belt and the knee sleeves I hit a PR on my Squat clean today and feel really good about my form.

The media could not be loaded. I originally purchased a Large size since I measured about 15" on my knees and a large was recommended. When I tried them on, They felt like a loose sock. I really did not feel any support with them on. I contacted customer support and they got back to me in 24 hours. They promptly took my return and exchanged it for a Medium. They also provided me with tracking and first class shipping. They came in FAST!.I Finally got to give these a try in the gym and boy do my knees feel 5 years younger! I have small joints and i have had bad knees since being in the military. With the medium, these were tight and kept my joints warm and ready for leg day. I went for the 7mm thickness because I wanted that extra layer of support. They are pretty thick and bunch up behind the knees but worth every pain staking squat. I actually look forward to leg day again since its been years since I've used proper knee support.Great product, great material, and well worth the price!

Short and sweet, the product so far is holding up well, I squat (since its squatober) 4X a week and i really do enjoy the simply nice feel of the compression on the knees. Perhaps its keeping them warm, promoting bloodflow, even placebo effect, i can't say, but i do feel it helps alot and they are holding up nicely, no smell, easy to get on and off..... and there's the problem. I followed the sizing directions and they slip on and off easier than they should from what i was told, and from what my coach has seen. By his own experiences something at the 7mm thickness with the right tension (with the kind of squater I am) should get a little extra bounce from them, ideally making weights like say 405lbs maybe feel more like say 390 - 395lbs. Now that said, he said that since they are not super tight, to the point where i need to turn them inside out and slide them over the knees etc.... that the simply snug fit wasn't really doing anything for the bounce. Regardless, yes the weight still feels the same however my knees feel better in the sleeves. Now the knee wraps i have and use YES, when wrapped nice and right helps make heavier weights not only lighter, but actually possible for my size and raw lifting capacity. So overall, great product i think, this is my first time using sleeves however, be wary of the sizing guidance.

First off I love these! I have bad knee's from a life of baseball and a career in flooring. These knee sleeves keep my knees warm and the pain away. I received my first pair on a Wednesday and that evening I went to my box to do my daily WOD. As I was pulling on my new sleeve on my right leg I heard a pop. I didn't think anything of it. Halfway through my workout I started to adjust my right sleeve again and I heard another pop. After my workout was over I took them off and I inspected them to see what the popping noises where and that's when I found that the pop noise was actually the neoprene splitting in two different areas on the sleeve. I was very upset being that these were brand new. I was going to return them and buy a different brand but I thought I would give them another chance. I returned them and got a new pair. As soon as the new pair arrived, I put them on and started adjusting them and doing lunges and squats trying to get one to pop. After a few minutes of doing this I realized that they were not going to split like the first pair. It must have been a defect in the first sleeve that I received. I have had the new ones for about two weeks now and I wear them every workout, five days a week. From squats to burbees to running these things are on my knees and no more knee pain. Save yourself some time and money and just order these. The fit is exactly what they say. I measured my knee just like they said and the fit is perfect. When I wear these out I will be buying another pair!

These knee pads were purchased for use in cardio kick boxing. The quality of the material is holding up well so far. They have a thicker more cushiony fee to them.
