Knee Sleeves 7 mm - Extra Stiff
Please note: our sizing differs from other brands, please consult our size chart to ensure a good fit.
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 neoprene for extreme compression
- Tapered design for a better fit and compression
- Reinforced stitching along all seams and edges
- IPF Approved for competition use
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 neoprene 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.

Customer Reviews
La verdad es que hasta ahora tengo una buena opinión acerca del producto.
No parecen de mala calidad como las de la competencia, calidad precio brutal.
único inconveniente los envíos podían ser un poco mas rápidos si fuera posible.
De levering en klantenservice zijn erg snel en aangenaam en de sleeves zijn een goede aanvulling op mijn trainingen
Heb de knee sleeves net een maand. Ben er zeer tevreden van. Zeer elastisch en strak, ze zetten zich wel nog een beetje gelijk je je schoen inwandelt maar voor de rest perfect. Ze helpen enorm hard en nog geen sporen van slijtage.
+10kg in 2 weeks, insane. Tip van Bram heeft me goed gezet :)))
