Beast Sleeves by Beast Gear - Premium 5mm Neoprene Compression Knee Sleeves for Support and Protection. Weightlifting, Crossfit, Powerlifting, Squats, Running and more.

These knee sleeves aren't like any of the standard cone-shaped knee sleeves / supports you can buy relatively cheaply, or in the case of some around the same price, they are shaped and contoured to provide better all-round support of the knee and its components such as ligaments and tendons as well in . Similar to SBS and Rehbrand sleeves.Fitting and size wise, I measured approximately middle of the large size but as always, for added compression and support, ordered the next size down. The fit is tight, with no discomfort or restrictions due to the fitting or level of compression, which is ideal for maximum support and keeping my knees warm whilst training. Due to the contoured shape of the sleeve, it makes better all round contact with the knee area. This is something the average cone-shaped sleeves don't always do with them tending to have a little looseness and bagginess around the knee which bunches up when flexing the knees and squatting. This then makes them pretty ineffective at providing the all over intended support during this stage of the lift, not something you want when lifting big. So in all these Beast Gear sleeves are a better all-round fit.Post workout effects are noticeable with no niggling around the outer knees as experienced with some sleeves due to inefficient support and lack of all-round compression.Design wise, I like that they are reversible with a choice of colour, Black or Red, with logos etc being identical on either side.I like the inclusion of the little nylon drawstring bag, not something many other brands supply, to keep the sleeves clean and together plus free from damage whilst in the gym bag.For the money, I say they are doing a cracking job and look great and are well made too.

Bought the small sleeves as elbow sleeves for heavy benching due to elbow pain I was experiencing, and the XL sleeves for my knees for heavy squats.Excellent service, with quick delivery and follow up emails from Beast Sleeves.The elbow fit is tight, but comfortable, and they are not overly difficult to get on/off.The knee fit it not quite as tight, but my knees feel supported. I’m not sure I would get the Large ones on but may give them a try next time I need sleeves.I felt they gave me great support while using them, and they keep the joint warm during use.I don’t know if they would help increase my lift as I haven’t attempted a 1rm with them, but my elbow pain has certainly reduced since using them.I can’t compare them to others as I have lifted raw until now but ther gym members that use the likes of SBD have commented how good the quality appears.Overall a good buy and I would recommend them.

I’ve been wearing cheap knee supports for a few years. Although they do the job, I never felt fully supported. However, Beast Gear supports are different. They are a snug fit, i ordered XL even though i normally wear L, it was the right decision. They stay up and not slide down, the support is also great when squatting, doing cardio or deadlifting. Just when you a bit more support, rigidity, it’s there.Most likely order another pair to alternate.

Purchased these a few weeks ago and went for medium according to the size chart provided. Very well made but way too small so emailed their customer support to see about returning product and getting a size up at end of November to which they replied on 1st December… nothing since despite a gentle reminder a week ago. Disappointing customer support.

As a power lifter I was looking for knee sleeves that offered very sturdy support. I ordered the beast gear sleeves as I liked the designed and they had great reviews. After initially having problems getting them over my knees, I e-mailed Ben from Beast Gear for advice. He responded almost immediately and sent a useful video with guidance on how to get the sleeves over your knees. The guidance was spot on and the sleeves offer great support and are very comfortable. When not doing exercises that involve your knees I would advise that you pull them down around your ankles. Overall, great sleeves, well made and nicely designed. Ben (from Beast Gear) was great as well.

I used these initially for weight lifting but also during short and middle distance runs.At first they were very snug and gave me good support but within a year they have begun to stretch and lose shape. I would probably choose knee wraps for lifting weights.Not great for running as I've noticed they can rub over long distances although no issues with the support. In fact, if day they were too tight initially but better as they loosened. Also the dye runs when you sweat in them and leaves marks on legs and trainers.If you do purchase them for lifting I'd advise only using them for that so they hold their shape better. For running etc, use a dedicated knee support for that activity.

I’ve been using beast gear over the last 2 weeks for running. My first impressions were that it felt a bit too tight (I’d gotten the large size) and that it supported the knees differently compared to other alternatives by giving an all-round compression. Later on it got more comfortable. So far so good, just that it tends to bunch up during long runs and irritate the skin when the black side of the braces face outwards. There is no issue when the red side faces outwards. The braces come with a bag which makes it convenient to carry them around, especially for travelers like me. Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is great. Great work!
