Discover premium 7 mm knee sleeves designed for powerlifting, squats and heavy strength training. Our IPF approved knee sleeves are available in regular stiffness for comfortable support during training, or extra stiff compression for maximum rebound and stability during competition lifts.

Regular vs Extra Stiff Knee Sleeves
Our 7 mm knee sleeves are available in two stiffness levels to match different training styles and performance goals. Both options are IPF approved and designed specifically for powerlifting, but they offer a different balance between comfort, compression and support.

The Regular Knee Sleeves are designed for powerlifters looking for the ideal combination of support and comfort. Made from high density 7 mm neoprene with four-way stretch, they provide excellent compression and stability while remaining comfortable enough for long training sessions and high training volume.
The Extra Stiff Knee Sleeves use an ultra high density 7 mm material that delivers significantly more compression and rebound. They are designed for competitive powerlifters seeking maximum support during heavy squats, peaking phases and competition attempts. Because of the extreme stiffness, they are less comfortable for extended training sessions but offer the highest level of performance and stability.
For most athletes, the Regular Knee Sleeves are the best all-round option for both training and competition. Lifters focused on maximizing squat performance, attempting new PRs, and achieving the greatest possible rebound under heavy loads will benefit most from the Extra Stiff Knee Sleeves.
Why Use Knee Sleeves for Powerlifting?
Powerlifting knee sleeves help improve joint stability, warmth and compression during heavy squats and lower body training. Many strength athletes use 7 mm knee sleeves to increase confidence, support and performance during training sessions and official powerlifting competitions.
Sizing Information
For the best compression and performance, choosing the correct size is essential. Measure around the center of the kneecap with a straight leg and consult our size chart before selecting your knee sleeves.
