    EFS heavy knee sleeves

    Thinking about getting a pair and I've heard from a couple people to get a size smaller than what your supposed to. Can anyone confirm?

    I would go a size down. I have a pair that are sized for me. And they really don't add much of anything. If your goal is to get a little pop out of the hole, go a size down. If you are getting these for support, I would recommend a neoprene knee sleeve. Especially if you plan on competing with these.

    I have the EFS heavy sleeves and a pair of titan sleeves. The EFS sleeves never come out of my bag. just my $.02.

    I'm going to compete in wraps, not sleeves. Just looking for something to keep my knees warm during training. Are the blue rehbands neoprene?

    If you have any sort of calves then you definitely don't want to go a size down, if anything go up at least 1 size or possibly 2.

    Don't get the EFS sleeves then. they don't keep your knees warm. Rehband, titan, TKs, Quest, probably more I am not aware of. Search and purchase for sweet warmth.

    I wear a large in EFS heavy sleeves, and a 4XL in EFS super heavies. The heavy sleeves are pretty true to size, if you get the super heavies, go up 4 sizes. No joke. I can't find my tape measure, but I have 19"ish calves and 31"ish quads. Neoprene sleeves are much less stretchy, so if you have big calves, you may have a lot of trouble getting them on initially.
