These 5 mm neoprene knee sleeves give you the warmth and compression of a classic sleeve, plus two adjustable Velcro straps: one above the knee, one below. Keep them comfortable for your warm-up sets, then crank the straps down before your top set for a locked-in fit and serious rebound out of the hole. One pair, from the first empty-bar set to your heaviest single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo straps, full control.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5 cm wide Velcro straps sit above and below the joint, so you can tighten or loosen the sleeve in seconds, while you are still wearing it. No pulling sleeves off between sets, no fighting with a pair that is too tight for warm-ups or too loose for heavy work. You decide how much support you want, set by set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 mm heavy-duty neoprene.\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from 90% neoprene and 10% nylon, the thick 5 mm material keeps your knees warm, wraps the joint in firm, even compression and holds its shape session after session.
