MattGriff		Knee Sleeves	10-03-2010 @ 09:59
Member 194, 4001 posts	What are people opinions on the best knee sleevs? I need something to keep them warm and compress the patella a wee bit. Seems to be that Rehband seem to be popular along with Vlucan ones?

The fabric (single/double ply) ones give better compression. I get hassle with my patella on the right knee, and wear a double ply knee sleeve on that, and a rehband one on my left knee!

Double ply sleeves do the job at keeping my joints warm but do little to reduce the actual stabbing pain.

handsome maybe, but he aint no Brad Pitt Member 68, 2833 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250 637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Rehband sleeves are excellent, couldnt do without mine. The last pair I had were a size smaller than the ones I've got now and gave a fair bit more support. They were a bstrd to get on and i ended up busting the stitching on them though. Main thing for me is the amount of heat they keep in the knees, my knees steam when i take them off and they smell a bit rank too, so they must be doing the job!!

As Jeff said, they are great at keeping the knees warm and provide a decent amount of support, although certainly not restrictive support. They wont put lbs on your lifts.

Member 194, 4001 posts	Sounds like the general concensus is Rehband - coolness thats what I was thinking anyway. i don't need mega support, just a little compression and warmth so sounds like the way to go
