Stoic 7mm Neoprene Knee Sleeves for Men & Women, Black - XX-Small

Affordable knee sleeves that offer great support, warmth, without spending close to $100. I found these searching through Amazon and I read some other reviews online as well. When I received these I was excited to try them on. I found that they are hard to put on (I ordered a Medium) but this is the same case from other brands such as sbd. (Just search up how to put those knee sleeves on on YouTube and you'll know how to put these on. ) They feel great when they are on and I use them for squats. I feel very secure and have great piece of mind that my knees are supported well. Idk about other people but having that feeling of your knees supported when squatting helps me a lot. My knees stay really warm throughout my squats and if they are just on (I live on a tropical island so the only test I could do is use the rack in front of an air conditioner at my gym and squat there.) The quality of the sleeves are great! I wouldn't expect these to rip at all. I don't know if the non slip pads inside the sleeves work as I use compression leggings with these. One minor complaint I have with these are the stitching it raised so when I used these without compression pants and I felt a bit of irritation so I just decided to wear compression leggings with these and that is no big deal for me. Other than that I have no other complaints! I ordered a size medium and I thought it was too tight and the company sent a size large without a problem! But the large was too big and did not offer me as much support as the mediums. Ill have to send the larges back but the custom

Let me start off by saying do not hesitate, look no further, get these knee sleeves. Furthermore, I was not given a discount, etc for my review. I am very happy with my purchase of these knee sleeves. My order came right on time and even before it got here the company actually took the time to reach out to me by email to thank me for giving their knee sleeves a try along with instructions as to how to put on the sleeves so that by the time they got here I was already ready to test them out. Here I have to add that the instructions provided, both in the email and that came with the package were really easy to follow. I had no trouble putting on or taking them off and was able to attest, as other reviewers have already stated, as to the quality of these knee sleeves. They definitely will last me some time plus they are really comfortable. Another note here, I was not sure as to whether I should have gotten the XXL at first, but they fit me perfectly. I only include this because I went off of my measurements exactly so to anyone, make sure your measurements are correct. Still, I have to add here as well that in the email that the company sent me, they basically resolved to make sure that I got the right fit. They really made me feel that they wanted to make sure that I loved their product and I do. As for during workouts, all I can say is that these sleeves are perfect for me, they stay in place, and more importantly provide my knees with excellent support during squats, deadlifts, lunges, etc. Highly highly recommend!!! Excellent company!!! On to harder training with fewer or better yet no more missed days due to my knees feeling compromised. Thank you!!!

If you are like me, you want quality products for a decent price. I'm not an elite powerlifter, and I can't really justify spending 80-90 dollars for a pair of sleeves. I had a pair of Tommy Kono sleeves that lasted for a few years. They worked well, but I always wanted more length. Amazon carries about 800 of the same rehband style knee sleeve sold by different companies. I tried a pair, they sucked. From the first squat, they would slide down and bunch. So what to do? Spend 20-40 dollars for the same knock-off rehbands, or spend 90 bucks on SBD's or Strong sleeves. Enter Evolutionize sleeves. These things are awesome. The feel well-made with a true thick 7mm of neoprene. The extra length is a welcome change from all the other knee sleeves out there. The support and compression are great. My only critique is that I wish the ends were a bit wider. So more of an hourglass shape. I like the compression at the knee, but it's a tad too much on the quad and upper calf. However, I was really in-between the XL and XXL and opted to go with the XL, so the XXL might not have that issue. To that point, getting them on wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought. Just follow the directions and so long as you didn't order 2 sizes too small, you should have no problem. The company seems to really care and take care of their customer. Unfortunately Amazon sent me out a pair that had clearly been used, they were dirty and had human and animal hair all over (shame on you Amazon). I contacted Evolutionize and they offered to send me a brand new pair, free of charge. They noted they would contact Amazon to discuss the issue and hopefully ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Great company, great pair of sleeves.

So I have been researching many brands of knee sleeves to support my knee during squats and I stumbled upon this product. I saw from other reviews that this knee sleeve is durable due to the triple stitching while having a nice quality fit. After looking further into other brands, all of the specs and such of this product seemed great amongst the other knee sleeves at this price range. So I decided to order it and got it in good time. I tried it on and it did have that durable, quality fit to it and the sizing was just right. I have a 13.5 in. knee circumference but decided to order small for a tighter fit and I was pretty amazed at how it fit snug and tight. However, when I bend my knees it does fold and crease in the back of my knees but these are longer than most other knee sleeves on the market so I had expected it. I highly recommened this product if you are unsure and are bouncing between which to get at this price range. It is thick and provides great support for your knees during heavy squat workouts and also ling enough to be used as a shin guard for deadlifts! I did not recieve any discounts or whatever for this product but I was pleased with the quality so I decided why not. If you are bouncing between or are having a hard time deciding due to budget like I had been, look no more and give these a try.

I bought these after researching and purchasing Stoic elbow sleeves (both for powerlifting). I was so impressed with the quality and support of the elbow sleeves, Stoic was a clear contender when I wound up in the market for new knee sleeves. Reading the reviews on Amazon for these knee sleeves (4.8/5 on 1800+ reviews, very impressive!) I was sold. After wearing them once I have to say the knee sleeves are even more impressive than the Stoic elbow sleeves. The fit, quality, stability, compression, insulation, everything is right on the money. I was also surprised at how long these things are. The extra length is nice for a variety of reasons such as being able to adjust tightness of fit by simply moving the sleeves up or down on my leg, and also providing even better support. Extremely high quality product, obviously. I am more than satisfied. I'll be buying Stoic sleeves for anything and everything going forward. One last thing - yes they fit tight, as a good compression sleeve should. I used the size chart and rounded down and the sleeves I got a a perfect, very tight, fit. A+ product.

3/11/19: Inital thoughts upon opening is that these are solid, stout knee sleeves that will be great replacements for my Tomy Kono knee sleeves that crapped out. Seams are tight and sturdy, with good stitching. The top and bottom cuffs are smooth and sturdy as well with nothing to rub your leg or cause irritation. I love that the top and bottom cuffs are stitched and should help keep the neoprene from splitting like my old TK's did. I'm 6'3" and 290lbs. My leg measurements following the chart Stoic provided are 58cm above knee, 42.5cm over knee, and 45cm over calf. Since my calf measured larger than my knee measurement I followed Stoic's suggestion of ordering based on the calf measurement. The fit is not as snug as my old Tomy Kono (size L), but still offers enough compression that I believe they should get me through my heaviest of leg days with no problems. I do not believe I would have liked the fit of a Large had I ordered down a size as neither top or bottom cuff have a ton of stretch and the calf cuff is snug in the XL. I'll report more later on the performance of the sleeves after some good leg day uses (if I am able to edit my review). MY ONLY GRIPE, and the reason these get 4 stars and not 5, is that there is a noticeable length difference in the two knee sleeves (see pictures). Stoic boasts a 30cm sleeve, and one measures 31.5cm and the other measures 29cm. I know it's a small gripe, but for $64.99 you would think quality control may be just a little tighter when the 30cm length is one of the characteristics Stoic points out over their competitors. I'm sure the length difference won't be noticeable when I'm doing squats or lunges, etc., but it isn't hard to miss when you stand them one by the other.

These are amazing! I was really torn between buying these and SBDs, but I'm definitely glad I chose these. I really appreciate the grip on the top and bottom, it holds them snugly in place. Also, a huge concern for me was the seam down the back of the knee, as other brands wrap the seam around. However, the seam is not noticeable during use, and the sleeves are as comfortable as a pair of SBDs I tried and at half the cost. They do a great job of keeping my knees warm, and provide enough support to get me through squats. Seriously, get these. They're worth every penny, are super affordable, top quality in craftsmanship, and do a job very well done.

So far so good but only used once. Had a medium intensity squat session earlier this week and my knees felt great. I’m 47 years old, 5’9” and 193 lbs with thick thighs and big calves, but with average size knees. I’ve been lifting weights since the age 14, played college football and track, and remain very active today. However I’m starting to deal with some knee pain from all the abuse I’ve given them. Based on the size chart I was at the upper end of small but I really wanted tighter support so went with size small. I had been wearing 7mm Rehbands in a size small also but from the very beginning they were easy to slip on and off. I had already returned mediums and another pair of smalls of the same Rehband knee sleeves and finally kept what felt like the tighter of two small pairs. I was ready for a change and watching a review on YouTube, I chose the Stoic pair. It takes some time getting these on but when in place they are staying there. The little anti slip pads are a nice touch. I got them out of the packaging as soon as they arrived, formed them into “pipes” and the crease was all but gone the next day. I don’t think I could go with extra small as they could be impossible to get on. These have a straight taper to them, larger diameter at thigh opening to smaller at the calf. The one thing I liked about the Rehbands was that knee area felt like it was a smaller diameter than the calf opening so it felt like it hugged and formed around the knee nicely. These Stoics provide plenty of warmth and the support is on par with my previous Rehbands. It feels tighter at the thigh and calf but this could be due to several factors: Rehbands stretched out from use, the Stoics having smaller openings, and the Stoics being longer than the Rehbands. I’m sure these will work for many people. What would make this perfect for me would be tighter compression around my knees.

Honor a la marca, me han funcionado de maravilla, no se deforman aún después de lavarlas, mantienen su forma intacta como la primera vez que las abrí del empaque. Un 10 de 10!

Keeps knees warm and offers great support

Ich habe lange gewartet bis die Stoic Sleeves endlich in Deutschland verfügbar sind. Nach all den durchweg positiven Rezensionen auf Youtube und co konnte ich es kaum erwarten sie endlich zu testen. Bis heute habe ich ausschließlich die Stulpen der größten Konkurrenz (SBD und Rehband) benutzt. Der vergleich zu den Stulpen von SBD liegt natürlich nahe. Dazu kann ich nur folgendes sagen: Die Stoic Sleeves sind von der Verarbeitung her zumindest augenscheinlich, mindestens auf dem selben Level wie SBD, wenn nicht sogar besser. Sie sind nochmal ein kleines Stückchen länger und erreichen damit die erlaubten 30cm (nach IPF Norm) komplett. Seit dem 01.01.2019 sind die Sleeves sogar "IPF Approved" und dürfen damit auf allen Offiziellen Wettkämpfen getragen werden. Vom Tragekomfort her sind sie wunderbar. Sie liegen sehr gut an und rutschen durch die "Gummi Naht" im Inneren kein Stück. Die Kompression die man sich wünscht ist selbstverständlich zu 100% gegeben. Fürs "normale" Training sollte man sich an die Größen-Liste halten. Wenn man sie für Wettkämpfe benutzen möchte, könnte eine Nummer kleiner durchaus sinnvoll sein. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist überragend. Bei der großen Konkurrenz zahlt man ~25% mehr, für die min. gleiche Qualität. Ich werde diese Rezension ggf. nochmal Überarbeiten sofern mir in den nächsten Beuge Einheiten noch was auffällt. Ich kann die Stulpen absolut jedem Leistungsorientierten "Beuger" empfehlen.

Bought for a Friend. He says they are made well, no chafing, and are comfortable.

The sleeves are as advertised, provides excellent support during squats.
