Hi guys, need some recommendations on knee sleeves or wrap whichever you wanna call it. Hurt my knees some months back and Dr recommend putting on some knee guard during training. Looked into eleiko but nothing's confirmed. Love to hear some feedback from those who are using. Not so much on assisting squats, more for general protection keeping the knees warm.

Some background on knee injury: probably some minor tear on the ligament or patellar tendonitis. Exact diagnosis not confirmed without MRI. Does not hurt during squats or leg press but definitely no lunges or knee extension.

Check out Decathalon. I know it doesnt sound as fantastic as "Maxx", "Fitness Concept", etc... But it works just as well as those branded ones. Rm15 per side at Decathalon for KNEE SLEEVES if memory serves me right. Do take note that there's a difference between Knee Sleeves, Knee Straps/Wraps? and Knee Brace . I believe the latter would be more suited for injured/torn ligaments than the former and serves for better "protection". Correct me if I'm wrong, read that somewhere before long ago lol. Im currently using Decathalon's Knee Sleeves, works well but I use mine occasionally and not on every leg session, only when needed.

Had accident before?

Search in lazada or taobao

Tons of them

Thanks buddy, will check them out

Not accident per se. A slip and the knees went 'inward'.

Bud, more inclined towards review of any of the gym bros here using it. Searching is the ez part. Finding a suitable wrap/sleeves is much harder. Need something to keep the knees warm and some degree of protection. But not so stiff that it affects my squats movement nor so loose that it does nothing. Appreciate the feedback

I'm using Decathlon's knee sleeves too.... they have different level of stiffness for their sleeves.... price can go up to excess of rm50 per piece depending on the stiffness....

For me, I think knee wrap is better since you can adjust it to your liking than sleeve

Bought my knee sleeves from aliexpress or taobao for $17 with free shipping at that time. The brand name is vigor. It's comparable to rehband imo, still last till today after 2 years.

Checked them out. R u using the soft 300 or 500? Looks solid n not tat expensive.

Checked them out too but not available in Malaysia. Only China which is a pita to get a hold of.

300

Right, thanks bro. Bad thing abt decathlon is that they dun ship. So went for HG sleeves instead from standardise gears.com . Reasonably priced n good reviews.

but decathlon got online store.
else u can find plenty of those 'personal shoppers' for decathlon.

Yeah they are from china, u can get them shipped here. that's how I got them. Aliexpress is alot easier to manuver than taobao since its in english

Haf to collect from nearest store I think. Either way it's a done deal. Standardissuegear sent out my item today. Can't wait to try them out

Crazy Fox knee sleeves

Wondering this or Vigor better? I don't like the Vigor logo but yet you got a good experience with it. I'm the kind of guy that prefer blank, but I'll get the Vigor if it's as good as Rehband.

Nevermind, finally I able to click and read the feedbacks. Seems like Vigor feedback in Aliexpress is more promising. Vigor it is then.

Im using vigor, my logo is fading abit i think if you purposely find a way to fade it off it might not be visible. Quality wise Its holding up pretty well.

I bought from this:

Knee wrap is pretty good...

notable knee sleeve you can get:
SBD from strength apparel
Rehband, iron rebel, titan yellow jacket from Standard issue
these are quality sleeves you can try

Why you didn't post the link earlier. Their lifting belt is what I'd been looking for.

If you want lever belts, I suggest this instead:

They also have single prongs...

EDIT: Website seems down. I can PM you their contact number if you want.
