Knee Compression Sleeves: McDavid Hex Knee Pads Compression Leg Sleeve for Basketball, Volleyball, Weightlifting, and More - Pair of Sleeves

Read the measurements carefully before buying. If you're right on the edge of the next size up, buy the next size up to avoid them being too tight. They're really comfortable. They offer good value for money and do what they're designed for (protecting your knees from falls—and believe me, you'll wish you had a pair when you fall). If you choose the right size, you won't have any problems with them slipping because they fit perfectly and stay in place.

I bought these leg sleeves for support and protection particularly for indoors basketball. Wore it a couple of times now and I must say I am not disappointed with the minimal support and good amount of protection it gives. Though one thing I was worried about at first is how I can manage to wear these every time, as they are a bit tighter than I expected. I bought a Medium based on the sizing provided here for my knees (15"), and first try I thought it was a little bit tight on the knees as well as with the elastic bands for the thighs (17.25"). But when I actually tested it out on court, they actually feel alright, which lessened my worries, though the elastic bands may have been better though I can primarily attribute it to my massive thighs. Moisture wicking capabilities are also great. Durability still needs to be tested, but overall, these are a great pair of leg sleeves, and I will buy it again. Update (July 10, 2018): After 6 months, these pair of sleeves are still holding up nicely. No holes, stitching issues, or elastic degradation. The only concern I have is that the Hex area that comes in contact with the knee will have an off smell after every use. This just happened recently and even considering that it is washed properly every after one session of use. I'm thinking that this is inevitable for sports equipment, therefore it's also important to disinfect (e.g. washing with bleach) from time to time, to prevent bacteria from building up which is the cause of the smell.

Got these for my daughter for wrestling, while they did help protect her knees, they only lasted one season before the little cushions started moving around. Other than that, they are really nice!

Comfortable, protective and not movement restricting

My son need some knee pads for his marching band routine, as part of it requires kneeling on one knee. I let him a pad I’d been using for work, and he said it didn’t work well enough. So we went to a local sporting goods store and found these. The padding looked very substantial, but they were too pricey. We find them here about $15 less, and loved them for the first try on. The padding is about six inches from top to bottom, and fairly wide and thick, so most of your knee will be protected no matter what angle you’re kneeling at. Even better, since my son only needed one pad, I took the other for my job. I work on computers, and some days that involves a lot of kneeling to reach computers under desks and counters, often on hard concrete or tile floors. These are hands down superior to my old ones in padding and comfort. Just make sure to size them properly, and buy the next larger size if your measurements are on the outside of the chart. They’re sized pretty exactly. Also, they fit quite well under my work pants, which are usually dress pants or chinos, so for as padded as they are, they’re fairly unnoticeable under most circumstances A great purchase, and they definitely make my days at work (or my sons on the field) much better. Two thumbs up.

We have had this knee pad since July but only used from August through December. Have not washed too many times but the interior shaped padding is coming loose inside the material and a small hole is forming on the material where it sees the most abrasion from wrestling. I am not sure if this is normal but wanted to make note here for others purchasing.

I've bought many knee pad sleeves to wear under my pants in the metal shop I work at. These are extremely light weight, you barely notice you're wearing them. Very good form fit when on the knees with comfortable cushion. The sleeves are a good length so they don't pinch behind my knees, and they also stay right in place without falling below my knee. Pad is long enough to go below my knee cap for some added comfort when using the knee to climb up on something a tailgate or a table. Also these are the LEAST SMELLY that I've had, they don't smell like dirty socks/BO nearly as bad as others I've worn. Favorite ones I've found yet, always have been a fan of mcdavid when I was in sports. I am nervous about durability with them because of the light weight, so I typically hand-wash and avoid the dryer. I've still used washer and dryer on them though and they're holding up, wore them 5 days a week for the past few months with no issues. While the Klein Tools knee pads may beat these in durability, these knee pads win in every other way. If you work on your knees like I do, I recommend these. I do still enjoy my klien tools sleeves, but I will still wear the mcdavid ones underneath an oversize pair of the klien tools pads for added cushion and comfort. Highly recommend!

Initially, these sleeves seemed to provide good support, but after wearing them for a few hours, I began to experience significant discomfort. As I continued wearing the knee sleeves, I noticed that they began to tighten considerably, which caused constriction in my thighs. This tightness became increasingly painful, leading to numbness in my thigh and overall discomfort. It seems that the compression level increases as time goes on, which not only limits blood flow but also causes pain and discomfort during use. This is concerning, especially as these sleeves are marketed as suitable for extended use during sports like basketball, volleyball, and weightlifting. I expected the sleeves to provide the support and comfort needed during physical activity, but unfortunately, the constriction has made them unusable for me over long periods. When I reached out to the manufacturer for warranty support, they asked for an order number that was different from my Amazon order number. When I couldn't provide their specific order number format, they refused to help me.
