Cheaper alternative to Rehband?

[Helo2]

I want to give knee sleeves a try but I don't really feel like throwing down $70 on them right now. Anyone tried any other sleeves that are less expensive but still decent quality?

[ugzilla]

I just bought generic knee sleeves off ebay. make sure you get XL though.

cost me £3.50 and they have lasted me 3 months so far; so definitely worth trying if you can't be bothered to spend $70

Just spring for them. I went with the "cheaper" option first, and then got Rehbands after. Difference is night and day.

They last for decades brah, decades!

Lmao. My main concern is that I'll find them uncomfortable or distracting and have them sitting in a box for decades....

These are 5mm compared to Rehband's 7mm

$40 for a pair. I've never personally tried them but have heard they are pretty good.

BTW...I have Rehbands and love them :p

"They're extremely tight for the first 2 weeks really and eventually loosen out. But I believe mine lasted for VERY close to 1 entire year before I had to retire them. 6-9x a week of use. They'd be wrapped around my knees for 5 hours a day."

I have the old school blue rehbands and love them, decided to order the como's just cause. To try out and because they are cheap. Be warned that shipping takes like 8 weeks, lol. I am supposed to get mine like june 3rd or some ****. I ordered them a few weeks ago, lol

Well I just went ahead and ordered a couple. I figure for the price I can wait a few weeks.

Just an update, mine actually came today. So maybe it won't take that long for you to get yours. I already trained this morning, so I just put these on, but they feel nice.

I got the black/red ones, and they say ninja on the top, lol. Funny

i just got mine and tried it for the first time today... it was the best squat session I've had in a long time.

the down fall is that it doesn't soak up your sweat so you sweat is just dripping to your socks..and it hurts to get on if you have hairy legs b/c its very slick and tight.

They came in today. Only took about two weeks. The quality seems really nice. They're just a little looser than I'd like so I might order the smaller size but they're definitely nice.

WHT, Helo: What size did you get and what's your knee measurement? I went with the recommended Rehband size and they're pretty big on me. I might as well get some of these to try out.

Knee is right about 15" and I got the 15"-16". I thought they might be too big but id rather that than too tight. I'm gonna use them but probably order the smaller size just to see how they fit.
