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

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.

I got these for basketball and am very happy with them. I typically wear tights under them as well so I can't speak to how they grip without tights, but even with tights on they stay up on my legs very well. I have gotten some off brand ones and they slip down constantly. These also will slide down and need to be pulled up, but it isn't nearly as often. They are very durable. I used to play a lot harder than I do now so I would seemingly always be on the ground diving for a ball or something and they would hold up to the abuse. Tights of any brand seem to rip very easily but these hold up a lot better. They will rip but not as easily as tights do. They aren't super breathable but since I wear tights it isn't really an issue with me. The pads are very flexible so you don't even notice them on when you're running. I have had several pairs of these over the years and am very happy with them. The price is a little higher than off brand versions but in this case you do get what you pay for. It's well worth the price and will absolutely buy them again when I wear through these.

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!

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.

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!

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.

My daughter uses these for futsal. Holding up great as she starts her second season with them

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.

Was delivered quickly and they fit properly

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.

fantastiche!gioco a basket ho alcuni problemi al ginocchio sinistro e ho notato che portando altre ginocchiere con sostegni laterali e/o frontali la circolazione ne risentiva e tornavo a casa con più dolorori quando entravo in campo, ho voluto provare questo scaldamuscoli e ne sono soddisfatto, comprimono la zona tenendola in temperatura senza bloccarne la circolazione in più offrono una protezione dagli urti che si muove con te durante il gioco, fantastiche davvero, consiglio di prendere una taglia in più e consultare bene la tabella delle misure, sono alto 1,75 per 70 kg e ho dovuto mandare indietro per prendere una xl

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.
