Knee Sleeves for Weightlifting (Sold as a Pair) - 6mm Premium Neoprene for Optimal Compression, Mobility, and Warmth - Compression Sleeve for Functional Fitness, WODs, Squats, Deadlifts (Small, Black)
What Makes a Great Knee Sleeve? To answer this question, we had to first break down exactly what a knee sleeve does. A knee sleeve provides warmth, compression, and tactile feedback to the athlete during various movements. The amount of each aspect that is desirable depends on the type of training you are conducting, Are you a powerlifter where the most important aspect is sleeve stiffness and compression to help you bounce out of the bottom? Or are you a long distance runner that prioritizes knee mobility and overall distance? At Element 26, our focus is on serving the Functional Fitness athlete who does daily WODs which can incorporate a wide range of movement types, exercises, and stress. With this in mind, we set out to create the best knee sleeve on the market specifically for a wide range of exercises... Enter the Element 26 6mm Knee Sleeve. Starting with a balanced 100% pure neoprene at 6mm's in thickness, we were able to achieve excellent warmth, compression, and tactile feedback without the extreme range of motion restriction and bulkiness that traditional 7mm thick powerlifting knee sleeves have. At the same time, offering more benefit to a wide range of movements over a thin 5mm or 3mm runners style knee sleeve. After we determined the perfect material, next was the shape. The shape of a knee sleeve needs to be optimized for the natural bending of the knee to reduce bunching while still offering a good amount of "spring" feel. We achieved this with a 25 degree offset which our testing resulted in the best balance of tension and contour. Finally, the durability. One of the biggest challenges of knee sleeves is ensuring they last for many years given the amount of repetition and stress that they will endure. Using our proprietary stitching pattern combined with the finest materials on the market, the Element 26 6mm Knee Sleeves have passed our months of testing with thousands of squats, wall balls, burpees, Olympic lifts, and powerlifts. All of this combined has created what we consider to be the top knee sleeves on the market today for functional fitness athletes! Sizing: See The Sizing Image and Measure Before Purchase. A Better Knee Sleeve For Functional Fitness and Olympic Lifting Athletes The Perfect Balance One of the toughest decisions with Knee Sleeves is, should you choose a 5mm for better mobility but less compression, or, a 7mm for better compression, but, reduced mobility. At Element 26, we want it all. To achieve this, we built a 6mm Knee Sleeve that offers you the perfect balance of compression and mobility to destroy your PRs, but, not slow you down! Athlete Tested, Athlete Approved In direct partnership with competitive functional fitness athletes going through multiple revisions, materials, stitching patterns, and failures, Element 26 is proud to launch our 6mm Knee Sleeves. We have literally been through dozens of failed prototypes and are finally proud to call these our own! We have much confidence knowing these have been thoroughly tested and meet our high standards. No More Knee Pain The main purpose of a knee compression sleeve is to keep the joint warm. With 100% Premium neoprene (no mixes or fillers like other brands use) your knee joint will stay warm between your sets and reduce your risk of injury, pain, or missed reps. Read more Anatomically Contoured The major problem with knee sleeves is bunching and sliding. If you sleeves are bunching up behind your knee during your reps, or, sliding down, they are no longer helping you, but, could be hurting your lifts! Unlike our competitors who use a single tube design, the Element 26 6mm knee sleeves are designed to fit to your knee. This means reduced bunching and sliding to ensure they continue giving you the protection and comfort you need to push through!
