Knee Sleeves 7 mm - Extra Stiff
Description
Fortex Knee Sleeves - Extra Stiff are designed for competitive powerlifters looking for extreme compression. These knee sleeves are extremely stiff and will help you add weight to your squat. However, prepare yourself for some discomfort. These stiff knee sleeves are perfect for maxing out and to wear at competitions. We also offer regular sleeves that are more flexible and more comfortable to wear during long training sessions with high volume.
- Ultra-high density 7 mm thick material for extreme compression
- Tapered design for a better fit and compression
- Reinforced stitching along all seams and edges
Please note: always refer to the size guide to ensure a good fit. Our sizing may be different from other brands. Please be aware that the high stiffness of the material reduces the lifespan of these stiff sleeves compared to regular sleeves. Because the material is less stretchable and less flexible, these stiff sleeves are subject to great forces and high pressure. When our size guide and guidelines are followed correctly, the average lifespan of these stiff sleeves is approximately 6 to 12 months with weekly intensive use.
Made in China.

Knee Sleeves
Measure the circumference of your knee around the center of the kneecap with a straight leg. Use a soft, flexible tape measure. If your calves are larger than your knees, use your calf circumference instead.
How to put on the knee sleeves:
1. Fold the top of the knee sleeves outwards so that it touches the bottom.
2. Pull the folded knee sleeve all the way up to the middle of your knee joint.
3. Fold the top back over your knee. Your kneecap should be around the middle of the knee sleeve.

Sustainable sportswear
Why do you use bamboo in your activewear instead of other commonly used materials?
We want to use what nature has to offer us. Bamboo naturally has properties that are excellent for use in sportswear.
The bamboo fiber is hollow, allowing the fabric to absorb water, and therefore sweat with odor particles, well. Of course you think, but then my shirt will smell really bad. Nothing is less true. Bamboo has other beautiful properties for this. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and the fibers have micro holes, allowing this moisture to easily evaporate. This means you can enjoy a dry and fresh shirt for a long time.
This hollow fiber structure with micro holes also ensures that you are never too hot, but also never too cold. Warm air is retained in the hollow fibers, but the excess warm air can escape through the holes. In summer this effect has a cooling effect and in winter it is nice and warm.
What makes bamboo so soft?
The bamboo plant is hard and super sturdy, which makes you think it is a type of wood. Yet bamboo is really a grass and, like most grasses, the bamboo fiber is hollow. In addition, the bamboo fiber is also round and smooth. This gives the smooth, round appearance no resistance to other surfaces and therefore feels so wonderfully soft on your skin, even after frequent washing.
Why do you use organic cotton in your products?
A lot of our products contain cotton to ensure the quality and lifespan. All of the cotton we use is organic. By combining bamboo with organic cotton, our products gain longevity and maintain their structure during workouts.
If bamboo is so good, why add organic cotton?
Bamboo yarns are quite elastic. This partly ensures that bamboo is so comfortable to wear, but is also a disadvantage if no other raw material is added. A garment made of 100% bamboo will quickly lose its fit. This is why we choose to add organic cotton. Cotton is many times more dimensionally stable than bamboo. By making a bamboo-cotton blend, our Fortex sportswear gets all the good properties.
How are your products packaged?
All our products have hangtags made from recycled cardboard which are attached with loops made from recycled plastic. After production each item is carefully packed in a bag made from 100% recycled plastic. No new raw materials are used to make sure the products are safe during storage and transport.
