Customer Reviews
De Fortex Extra Stiff Sleeves:
Het eerste wat mij gelijk opviel was de kwaliteit van de Fortex Stiff Sleeves! Ze zitten goed en voelen dik en stevig aan. Ik draag deze sleeves op zware squat dagen want tijdens het squatten geven de sleeves mij genoeg ondersteuning en vertrouwen. Ik draag een maat L dus voor mij zijn de sleeves redelijk makkelijk aan te krijgen. Het fijne is dat de sleeves ook IPF approved zijn dus ik ga ze zeker dragen op wedstrijden.
Kort samengevat: Met deze sleeves heb ik alleen maar zin om meer te tillen😃.
De Fortex Extra Stiff Sleeves 7mm zijn zeker een aanrader vooral op dagen dat je zwaarder gaat tillen!
ze zitten echt goed ook de maat is perfect
De Fortex sleeves zijn voorgevormd zoals de Inzers, zijn knetterdik en stug vergelijkbaar met Hansu 2.0, maar net even wat betere rek en hechting aan het been. Maat M was misschien beter geweest voor mij op dit moment maar denk dat maat L perfect is als ik weer rond de 120 kg lichaamsgewicht zit. Ik kon de sleeves in één keer redelijk comfortabel aantrekken zonder dat ik geen gevoel meer had in mijn benen/voeten. De sleeves geven een prettige weerstand waarbij geleidelijk de spanning opbouwt in plaats van dat het voelt alsof je tegen een muur aan komt 😂 De sleeves ook nog even getest met 310 kg squat en dat ging goed!
Conclusie:
- Zeer goede (allround) knee sleeve voor een mooie prijs
- Net even wat gebruiksvriendelijker dan de concurrentie
- Duurzaamheid moet nog getest worden
