 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Dose anyone have to hand regs for knee sleeve specs for now allowed in GBPF duing unequipped comps? I did have a PDF of the IPF Classic rules but cannot find it atm. I know it was 7mm max thickness but cannot remember if any mention was made of material etc. Is there a list of approved definitive sleeves? I seem to recall there was one? | ||

 Loves rugby league ... Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator | from the above document Commercial knee sleeves as designed for medical/surgical or sports use and constructed of neoprene (no other form of rubber or similar material is acceptable) with an optional covering of cotton, polyester or medical crepe may be worn. Alternatively an elasticised traditional kneecap supporter may be worn. A combination of the two is forbidden. (a) Knee sleeves must be “slip on” and not contain any form of tightening e.g. straps/draw strings/velcro tabs and the likes. (b) Maximum length 30 cm’s maximum thickness 7 mm’s. (c) Must not extend more than 15 cm’s above or 15 cm’s below the centre of the knee joint. (d) Shall not be in contact with socks or lifting suit. | ||

I'm guessing it was our neoprene ones that were being used, but not certain. Hercules and Thor ones shouldn't be allowed. Hoping to have another bash at getting our own 7mm neoprene ones made, but Rehband ones are awesome, and selling fast. | ||
