Anyone have any experience with these?
No opinion BUT I have a pair of neoprene knee sleeves I bought 30 years ago that still work fine and cost less than $10...I also have a pair of neoprene elbow sleeves I bought in 2005 from drug mart for $15...good luck finding neoprene sleeves anywhere but on line at exorbitant costs!

They’re pretty new to the market. I haven’t even seen anybody with them at the gym. Looks like the same concept as the Titan yellow jackets

I use them for my heavy squatting. I backsquatted 534 and frontsquatted 460 this past month with them.
I have to go up a size compared to what is recommended by their size chart, and they are still very snug. Its a bit tough to get them on and off but you figure it out. Instead of pulling them up from the top of the sleeve, try getting them around your calf and then pulling them up from the bottom of the sleeve instead, and then tidying them once they are approximately around the knee. Hair removal around the knee also helps.
I prefer these due to how much more consistently I can apply them compared to knee wraps. Wraps always feel a bit different to me, day to day and left vs right knee. I dont use them terribly frequently as I am weightlifting, not powerlifting, so I dont quite get the same amount of practice with them as a PLer might. These sleeves will be the same every time with no thought required.
People using the same pair of knee sleeves for years on end dont realize how much support they are missing out on. The loss of function is so gradual that you dont really notice until you finally do get a new pair and realize how much fresher they are. I replace mine once or twice a year, along with my thermal trunks.

Good video, they are pretty much on par with each other. I just had a set of SBDs show up today after my squat session so Sunday will be the first time I get to wear them. Been wear STrong sleeves last few years. Excited to to test out the SBDs
