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

Good protection, and sizing is a bit small
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.

Fit well, comfortable, padding really works
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.

Ok but not super durable
We have purchased several pairs of these over the course of 3 years…and there-in lies the problem. I wish they were more durable and held up longer than a month into volleyball season. Thankfully he only wears one at a time and they are not R/L specific so he can replace the damaged one (fabric covering the padding rips easily) with the other guard when necessary. There don’t seem to be a ton of options out there that fit well so when I see these at a discount I try to grab the next pair to have on hand. He prefers these to the traditional shorter VB knee pads as these help prevent floor burns. They easily slide on and off and we like that they provide some semblance of both knee and leg protection.

I liked that the product arrived on time and ordering was easy. Price wasnt too bad either. Cheaper than in most stores.Very comfortable to wear. Just found the material a little thin as it snagged and started to run.

de bonne genouillaire tres resistante jai fait 8 course de type spartan race, xman race avec cette été et elle sont encore en bonne état.seul petit point negatif, j’ai de forte jambe donc de tres gros quadriceps donc cherhce à descendre ,mais malgré tout je les adore.

I received this just around a week after I purchased them on Amazon. They’re great! They’re snug around you lower thigh and lower knee so the actual padding doesn’t slide off when you bend your knees during movement. I haven’t tried them out on the hills yet but doing the motion of falling down showed that it held up pretty well. It didn’t budge or needed to be adjusted. I don’t feel pins and needles when I landed on it either. Every year at the mountains I always come back home to bruised knees. I’m really glad I made this purchase and will update again after I wear it on the slopes!Edit:Used on the mountain slopes! These knee pads are awesome! For the first time, I don’t actually have bruises AND my knees don’t feel like they’re going to go bad when I’m in 80s! My thighs are a little bigger than a normal 130 lb 5’7 woman (squats) so compression sleeve above the knees rolled down a little bit and would bunch up sometimes behind my knee. This can be uncomfortable and leave red marks. This is not a manufacturer’s fault. My thighs are just big.
