38 cm at mid patella. Need some suggestions on sizing. Large is 36-39 cm. XL is 39-42 cm. Medium is 33-36 cm.
Seen some threads where getting a size smaller than your measurement is the way to go for a tighter fit. Don't want too much compression on my quads though.
Thoughts and recommendations?
Will rep for good advice.

I like to wear mine a bit higher and I have some sizeable lower quads. I was in your same position and went with larges and they are pretty tight where I wear them. If you like to where them lower probably go with the mediums

The are right on the cusp for all of the legal measurements (in USAPL/IPF anyway). The are a lot longer and are tapered for right and left legs. The distributer was at worlds this year just handing free pairs out to lifters to try. I just threw mine on for the first time yesterday and it felt like I had my Gripper knee wraps on.

If you can find my thread on this exact question from a couple of months ago.
Long story short, I measured at 39 and went with the smalls. I don't regret it one bit. There were a couple of others that replied that did the same and were happy as well. They are not overly tight and after a couple of months using them they are just as snug as when I bought them.

SBDs are the best, but the most expensive as well. They're longer than the Rehbands (30cm vs 27cm) and they offer more sizes so that you can get whatever fit you want. If you're going for a competition fit, you'll want to get two sizes down. Don't expect this to be fun to get on at all. I don't think it is practical for daily training because they stretch out. For a competition/training hybrid, one size down works well. Or you could get two sizes down and stretch them out, I guess. Personally, I use a different sleeve (Rehbands) for training than I do for competition (SBD). Most people won't go to these lengths, but I already had Rehbands when the SBDs came out so I didn't have to absorb the cost of both at the same time.
