can you compare them to the blue rehbands? I measured my knee 14 so should i go with 12?

[notforeveryone]

i have both rehbands and SBDs. SBDs are far superior IMO. thicker, longer (good for me with long legs, big knee joints), no homo.

i train using both. usually train my lighter rep weeks with the rehbands and the heavy weeks with SBDs.

Go to Andersonpowerlifting.com, go based off the measuring chart and go two sizes down from what you measured if you want a tight fit. That's what I did and they fit great.

like he said, measure your leg... look on their chart at the size that correlates to your measurement, then go 2 sizes down.

Don't over complicate it bro. Measure the circumference of your knee, look at their chart and based off your measurement go two sizes down if you want an extra tight fit.

The maximum specifications for knee sleeves are: 30cm length and 7mm thickness. SBD are both. Rehbands are 7mm thick, but not 30cm long (27mm IIRC). They're also not made out of the same material. The SBD material is stronger. Rehband doesn't offer as many sizes, either. This makes it harder to get a competition fit and actually get any carryover from your sleeves. For people who want poundage, SBDs are superior. Rehbands, on the other hand, are actually designed for therapeutic use.

And Tommy Konos are pieces of ****. But you get what you pay for.

Rehbands and SBDs are actually comprised of the same material. Its something like 95% neoprene for both.

I haven't tried the SBD's but the blue Rehbands have served me well

[SourcesScott]

They're definitely worth the $90

Have yours stretched at all? Just curious. I got mine over the weekend.

Mine have stretched a bit--they're not as difficult to put on as when I first got them a few months ago but they're still very tight.

I ordered them two sizes smaller than normal fit (so, one size smaller than tight fit), and at first I needed shopping bags to get them past my calves when putting them on. I don't need bags to get them on anymore, but it still takes a few good shoves to get them off.

They definitely have been broken in so it's not hard to get them on at all and still fit tight and snug.

Cool. That's what I was hoping for. These are insane to put on haha

They weren't that bad for me and I went two sizes down from what I measured at. Guess I have some bish legs haha.

Yea, I may try a pair when my Rehbands wear out in 5 years or so

But I use mine for a more therapeutic approach than trying to get a couple more pounds

I've had my TK sleeves for a year now using them twice a week and they are just like new.

[IzzyT]

Mine fell apart in about three months. They also do not meet maximum allowable IPF/RUM specifications for those who care about carry over.

I wouldn't buy them again personally, nor can I recommend them to anyone, but that's just me.

I never bought my SBD sleeves to add more weight to the bar. I bought them as a preventative measure and to maintain my overall knee health and longevity.

[izzygrant]

my SBDs almost killed me tonight. Hamburgertrain, it's your fault.

[Conan30]

I just got my new SBD knee sleeves. They are incredible!

However, I have a concern: I squat everyday. Do you think it's worth buying another knee sleeve (like Rehband) for regular use and save SBD for heavy squat days and meets or can I use SBD everyday? Will they last forever with everyday use?

I mean: if I could afford both Rehband and SBD, do you it's worth having both or only SBD is enough?

Thank you very much guys!
