Stoic 7mm Neoprene Knee Sleeves for Men & Women, Black - XX-Small

Let me start off by saying do not hesitate, look no further, get these knee sleeves. Furthermore, I was not given a discount, etc for my review. I am very happy with my purchase of these knee sleeves. My order came right on time and even before it got here the company actually took the time to reach out to me by email to thank me for giving their knee sleeves a try along with instructions as to how to put on the sleeves so that by the time they got here I was already ready to test them out. Here I have to add that the instructions provided, both in the email and that came with the package were really easy to follow. I had no trouble putting on or taking them off and was able to attest, as other reviewers have already stated, as to the quality of these knee sleeves. They definitely will last me some time plus they are really comfortable. Another note here, I was not sure as to whether I should have gotten the XXL at first, but they fit me perfectly. I only include this because I went off of my measurements exactly so to anyone, make sure your measurements are correct. Still, I have to add here as well that in the email that the company sent me, they basically resolved to make sure that I got the right fit. They really made me feel that they wanted to make sure that I loved their product and I do. As for during workouts, all I can say is that these sleeves are perfect for me, they stay in place, and more importantly provide my knees with excellent support during squats, deadlifts, lunges, etc. Highly highly recommend!!! Excellent company!!! On to harder training with fewer or better yet no more missed days due to my knees feeling compromised. Thank you!!!

So far so good but only used once. Had a medium intensity squat session earlier this week and my knees felt great. I’m 47 years old, 5’9” and 193 lbs with thick thighs and big calves, but with average size knees. I’ve been lifting weights since the age 14, played college football and track, and remain very active today. However I’m starting to deal with some knee pain from all the abuse I’ve given them. Based on the size chart I was at the upper end of small but I really wanted tighter support so went with size small. I had been wearing 7mm Rehbands in a size small also but from the very beginning they were easy to slip on and off. I had already returned mediums and another pair of smalls of the same Rehband knee sleeves and finally kept what felt like the tighter of two small pairs. I was ready for a change and watching a review on YouTube, I chose the Stoic pair. It takes some time getting these on but when in place they are staying there. The little anti slip pads are a nice touch. I got them out of the packaging as soon as they arrived, formed them into “pipes” and the crease was all but gone the next day. I don’t think I could go with extra small as they could be impossible to get on. These have a straight taper to them, larger diameter at thigh opening to smaller at the calf. The one thing I liked about the Rehbands was that knee area felt like it was a smaller diameter than the calf opening so it felt like it hugged and formed around the knee nicely. These Stoics provide plenty of warmth and the support is on par with my previous Rehbands. It feels tighter at the thigh and calf but this could be due to several factors: Rehbands stretched out from use, the Stoics having smaller openings, and the Stoics being longer than the Rehbands. I’m sure these will work for many people. What would make this perfect for me would be tighter compression around my knees.

Affordable knee sleeves that offer great support, warmth, without spending close to $100. I found these searching through Amazon and I read some other reviews online as well. When I received these I was excited to try them on. I found that they are hard to put on (I ordered a Medium) but this is the same case from other brands such as sbd. (Just search up how to put those knee sleeves on on YouTube and you'll know how to put these on. ) They feel great when they are on and I use them for squats. I feel very secure and have great piece of mind that my knees are supported well. Idk about other people but having that feeling of your knees supported when squatting helps me a lot. My knees stay really warm throughout my squats and if they are just on (I live on a tropical island so the only test I could do is use the rack in front of an air conditioner at my gym and squat there.) The quality of the sleeves are great! I wouldn't expect these to rip at all. I don't know if the non slip pads inside the sleeves work as I use compression leggings with these. One minor complaint I have with these are the stitching it raised so when I used these without compression pants and I felt a bit of irritation so I just decided to wear compression leggings with these and that is no big deal for me. Other than that I have no other complaints! I ordered a size medium and I thought it was too tight and the company sent a size large without a problem! But the large was too big and did not offer me as much support as the mediums. Ill have to send the larges back but the custom

I hemmed and hawed between these ones and SBD ones for a couple of weeks. Finally I simply got these because they were available on Amazon, had Prime shipping available and had free returns. So if I hated them, I'd have a no hassle return. I honestly didn't expect to like them as much as I do. These are thick, solid, and comfortable enough that I don't have to pull them down after every exercise. Of course, that comes down to personal preference, some people don't like walking slightly awkwardly during their entire leg workout, I personally don't mind, and the point is that they don't bite into the skin in any way. Whether you're doing heavy squats, heavy lunges or leg press, they give you the stability and protection they promise and though I did mention walking funny, they don't restrict your range of motion during the exercise. I initially bought the XL as that is what the measurement guide dictated I should get. However, I wanted them a little tighter so I exchanged them for the large and these are perfect and still comfortable enough to wear during the whole workout. One thing that's important to note. These are NOT knee braces, you're not gonna be comfortable wearing these as a daily wear thing or for cycling, they're knee protection for leg workouts. So if you're just looking for daily wears, these are not for you. I am incredibly pleased with this product, both for quality and price.

If you are like me, you want quality products for a decent price. I'm not an elite powerlifter, and I can't really justify spending 80-90 dollars for a pair of sleeves. I had a pair of Tommy Kono sleeves that lasted for a few years. They worked well, but I always wanted more length. Amazon carries about 800 of the same rehband style knee sleeve sold by different companies. I tried a pair, they sucked. From the first squat, they would slide down and bunch. So what to do? Spend 20-40 dollars for the same knock-off rehbands, or spend 90 bucks on SBD's or Strong sleeves. Enter Evolutionize sleeves. These things are awesome. The feel well-made with a true thick 7mm of neoprene. The extra length is a welcome change from all the other knee sleeves out there. The support and compression are great. My only critique is that I wish the ends were a bit wider. So more of an hourglass shape. I like the compression at the knee, but it's a tad too much on the quad and upper calf. However, I was really in-between the XL and XXL and opted to go with the XL, so the XXL might not have that issue. To that point, getting them on wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought. Just follow the directions and so long as you didn't order 2 sizes too small, you should have no problem. The company seems to really care and take care of their customer. Unfortunately Amazon sent me out a pair that had clearly been used, they were dirty and had human and animal hair all over (shame on you Amazon). I contacted Evolutionize and they offered to send me a brand new pair, free of charge. They noted they would contact Amazon to discuss the issue and hopefully ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Great company, great pair of sleeves.

I have ordered 4 different pairs of these sleeves and the biggest issue I have is that each pair felt like it was made by a different company every time. First pair was great and lasted me almost a year! That was with consistent use and everything. The only reason I got rid of them was cause I didn’t really take good care of them and they got nasty. Second pair lasted about 2 months and tore completely in half. Figured it was a fluke so I got my third pair, and that third pair was so freaking thin I might as well not even worn them. I returned that third pair and bought one more in hopes that it would be okay, but no I was wrong. One was good and quality the other was thin and bad. I’m not buying these anymore it’s not worth the time and money. Edit: despite my issues with their consistency their customer service is some of the best I’ve received from any company. I really appreciated Sharon for working with me and handling my issue. Just for the service alone I would recommend at least trying them out. They’re good sleeves just have some small problems that can be fixed.

I wanted to wait until after using these a few times before writing a review. These are amazing. During one of my strength blocks about two months ago I seriously messed up my knee (just sharp debilitating pain during a set of reverse lunges). That knee has had tendinitis on and off for about 6 years now, but whatever happened this time around seriously hurt and I couldn't really work through the pain as it hurt to bend my knee at all. In any case I backed off of all lower body work for about 5 weeks. I iced and did some mobility exercises when pain allowed. My knee eventually felt better (about 70% back to normal) but I needed something to cushion and baby it as I slowly returned to leg work. Enter these glorious sleeves! I wear both even though my left knee is fine, but I know it gets irritated when I favor my right knee. The sizing is accurate. The first time I wore them I was a bit worried about the size because my feet went numb, but after a wear or two my feet feel fine. These sleeves feel like knee cozys; my knees stay warm and the crunchy grinding sounds I normally hear with my knee is completely muffled. Squatting is finally *FINALLY* completely pain free. Wish I had gotten these years ago! Although my squat is trash so I always feel like a goober wearing knee sleeves and moving such little weight, haha My only issue is that the package was shipped via lasership and they are actually the worst shipping company on this earth. They literally just throw packages any old place and hope that no one steals it before you take it into your home smfh

These sleeves and company are awesome. When I first decided to purchase these I measured my knee like the directions said and according to the chart I needed a medium, which is what I ordered. The company recently changed names and when my sleeves came in, they were the older Evolutionize ones in medium. I tried them on but they were extremely tight so I contacted the company and Sharon advised that when they changed from Evolutionize to Stoic, they also changed their sizing so my mediums were actually smalls according to the new Stoic chart. The company tried to remove all the older name sleeves from the warehouse but a few were missed. Sharon was extremely helpful and answered all my questions quickly. She then gave me a return label for the sleeves I had and shipped out the new Stoic mediums, which only took one day to get here. I have used the sleeves for two workouts so far and if you get your sleeves according to the size chart they will be a perfect fit. I am not the strongest guy out there by any means but I was able to squat 405 for a few reps more comfortably with these on than without. Lunges and leg press also felt better. I also noticed my knees felt better the following days. Overall, for the money, comfort, and supporting a great company these are a no brainer.

Honor a la marca, me han funcionado de maravilla, no se deforman aún después de lavarlas, mantienen su forma intacta como la primera vez que las abrí del empaque. Un 10 de 10!

Keeps knees warm and offers great support

Ich habe lange gewartet bis die Stoic Sleeves endlich in Deutschland verfügbar sind. Nach all den durchweg positiven Rezensionen auf Youtube und co konnte ich es kaum erwarten sie endlich zu testen. Bis heute habe ich ausschließlich die Stulpen der größten Konkurrenz (SBD und Rehband) benutzt. Der vergleich zu den Stulpen von SBD liegt natürlich nahe. Dazu kann ich nur folgendes sagen: Die Stoic Sleeves sind von der Verarbeitung her zumindest augenscheinlich, mindestens auf dem selben Level wie SBD, wenn nicht sogar besser. Sie sind nochmal ein kleines Stückchen länger und erreichen damit die erlaubten 30cm (nach IPF Norm) komplett. Seit dem 01.01.2019 sind die Sleeves sogar "IPF Approved" und dürfen damit auf allen Offiziellen Wettkämpfen getragen werden. Vom Tragekomfort her sind sie wunderbar. Sie liegen sehr gut an und rutschen durch die "Gummi Naht" im Inneren kein Stück. Die Kompression die man sich wünscht ist selbstverständlich zu 100% gegeben. Fürs "normale" Training sollte man sich an die Größen-Liste halten. Wenn man sie für Wettkämpfe benutzen möchte, könnte eine Nummer kleiner durchaus sinnvoll sein. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist überragend. Bei der großen Konkurrenz zahlt man ~25% mehr, für die min. gleiche Qualität. Ich werde diese Rezension ggf. nochmal Überarbeiten sofern mir in den nächsten Beuge Einheiten noch was auffällt. Ich kann die Stulpen absolut jedem Leistungsorientierten "Beuger" empfehlen.

Bought for a Friend. He says they are made well, no chafing, and are comfortable.

The sleeves are as advertised, provides excellent support during squats.
