Rehband vs sbd

[bambam]

Going to invest in some knee sleeves and tossing up between rehband and sbd. From what I gather the sbd are pretty much the gold standard but also most expensive. What are some opinions ?

[Skeletor]

SBD. Last a long long time on top of being the best. Outperform both Rehband and Titan.

Awesome! Sounds like they are worth the extra cash even if it's jut for longevity, how did you find the sizing guide?

[Realtalk]

Sizing guide is accurate bro but if you order from raiselower and the sizing is wrong just send them back with money for postage and they send you our new ones correct size... Try on at home if not for properly put back in package and send back. Not wear to gym, train then decide they wrong size.

worth for all of the above reasons plus its the very maximum length/thickness you can get while still being competition legal .

The centre of my knee measures 39cm what puts me just out of the normal fit for the large but not by far, would you recommend just getting large and have them tighter or go up a size and risk them being loose..

Large definitely man. I initially bought large and ended up getting medium on my second pair. If you are just outside the range then they will fit good.

i'm not sure if you are supposed to measure it on the center of your knee though? are your calves bigger than quads? there is a diagram out there of where exacty to measure but that can't be right. for me center of knee is 37cm and i use xtra small. if used medium or large would be greatly disappointed with sbd results.

I have XL this is what the sizing guide told me to get. I sized down to make tighter buying a L and they wouldn't fit I had to send them back. If I competed in ipf I would have a L for comp and make them fit but I don't and spending 5 minutes ripping them on and off for a squat session isn't worth it for me. These are my measurements below for what it's worth maybe it can help you decide what's good for you. I don't have huge calves so getting then past calves isn't a problem for me. First pic is my knee. Second is bottom of my quad.

Holly quads batman! Great, thanks man that is extremely helpful, I measure 41.5 ( calve) 39 (knee) and 52 quad so I'm thinking the large should work and like you say I will just send back before using if they are not on the money. Thanks for all the feedback guys very helpful

SBD Sleeves arrived within a day of ordering, Stoked with the awesome service at http://raiselower.co.nz/, Size is perfect, Cant wait to get under a bar with them on.

Gave these a blast last night, felt slightly awkward at first to get on and walk around in but soon got used to them being nice a tight. Felt really good on all sets of squats, keep knees nice and warm throughout. Everything just felt really solid and secure, really happy with these 

[Realtalk]

Nice one bro!

[bambam]

I dont feel like they have much if any carry over so thats perfect as the main goal is to build up a decent squat, weak as piss but between You (realtalk) Skeletor, Hamish, Tom I'm pretty motivated to get half decent at the big three

Halfway through your workout don`t try and put them on if you`ve worked up a light sweat already Impossible to put on. :-)
