WHY CORRECT SIZING MATTERS

Choosing the correct size is essential for both performance and comfort. A properly fitted SBD Knee Sleeve provides consistent compression, stability through knee flexion, and confidence under heavy loads. Sleeves that are too loose will not deliver adequate support, while sleeves that are too tight may restrict circulation or be difficult to put on and remove.

Taking a few minutes to measure correctly ensures you get the full benefit of your knee sleeves whether you are training, competing, or recovering.

HOW TO MEASURE FOR SBD KNEE SLEEVES

Determine the circumference of your knee joint while your leg is extended and your muscles are relaxed. Take measurements around the midpoint of your kneecap (patella) and the thickest part of your calf. If your calf exceeds your knee by more than 4cm (1.6in), consider opting for a larger size for an optimal fit.

For a firm fit ideal for powerlifting and squatting, consider choosing a smaller size. A standard-fitting knee sleeve will provide a snug feel.

If you're new to wearing knee sleeves, it's advisable to stick to the recommended size rather than sizing down, especially if you fall within the medium size or smaller range.

MEASURING TIPS FOR ACCURACY

  • Use a flexible tape measure and measure directly against the skin.
  • Keep your leg fully extended and relaxed while measuring.
  • Measure both knees and use the larger measurement if there is a difference.
  • If you are between sizes, consider how you plan to use the sleeves. Competitive lifters may prefer a tighter fit, while general training may suit a standard fit.
