just wondering what kind of sleeves you guys prefer; rehband, kono, or other?
an explanation of your choice would be nice too :D

I just use some cheap Tensor cuffs from the drug store. I only wear them when it's cold in the gym, or leading up to a meet to keep the knees a little warmer.

I have rehband, I got them for christmas as a gift. They work fine.

I hear good things about rehband, but at $30 for 1 band, I don't know; I'm thinking of going with the konos (that I hear give good warmth) to save the money, I read the rehbands give more support though.

Eh, I'm a little weird with the sleeves. I'll keep them on for movements like pulls and stuff but when it comes to squats or the actual full o-lifts I take them off. But if I take a couple minutes break I will slide them back up.
I have no experience with the kono, as I stated earlier my sleeves were a gift so I can't complain.

forgot to mention that i have the kono's and I like them, but since they're getting beat up i was thinking of getting a fresh pair down the line, and because it seems that a batch has come out that is kinda crappy, i'm looking at rehbands.
there was a thread somewhere (not in the pl/strongman/oly section) that some guy was complaining about his konos, and my partner got a pair for christmas and they have the same problem, some kind of unraveling of the stitch.
mine seem to be fine, but i'm not gonna spend money for a new pair that might be good when i can go and spend a little more and buy a pair of rehbands i know will be good
