Update: Sleeves have arrived. Fit test only. My older maroon SBDs were kind of worn in, so grain of salt and all that, but the new ones are: A. At least 50% stiffer. B. A much coarser texture on the outside, making the roll up/down a bit interesting. C. Significantly tighter. The caveat here is they don't stretch like the old material, so they may actually start out about the same size, but fix much tighter and are less forgiving because of it. I may update after i squat in them.
Update: after one session Honestly, not a huge difference over my old SBDs. They are somewhat stiffer, and as such, harder to get on. I did not noticed a large difference while squatting, but they were very comfortable. Getting them off was surprisingly easy with a good quick roll down. The texture is a little unforgiving while doing that, but nothing crazy. If you have big calves, these are great.
@@mimoosa7390 I've never actually measured my knee joint. The limiting factor for me has been calf size. My A7s were basically way too tight on my calf muscles but workable at the knee. My old flimsy SBDs were large and fit very comfortably. After speaking with a few lifters who have the newer sleeves, i decided to stick with Large.
Bro what size i have to chose for powerlifting that measuring size or less than measuring size like my fit is L but for powerlifting should i chose less size like M ??????

@@Jmerc86, what's your knee size and what knee sleeve size did you choose?

If you are in between sizes I’d suggest going for the smaller of the 2 sizes as they will stretch
