Product Summary
The SBD 5MM Knee Sleeve uses high-grade neoprene and 4-way stretch fabric to create compression and support. The sleeves also have a reinforced seam, anti-microbial and anti-run inner lining and anti-abrasion outer lining.
The 5MM model is more expensive than SBD’s 7MM model and most other 5-millimeter knee sleeves. SBD recommends remaining true-to-size unless your calf measurement is more than 1.6 inches larger than your knee measurement. In this case, size up.
At the time of publishing, there are no customer reviews of the 5MM knee sleeves but SBD’s other sleeves are high-quality and very popular, especially among powerlifters.
