Mava Sports Knee Compression Sleeve Support for Men and Women - Perfect for Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Running, Gym Workout, Squats and Pain Relief

I typically like the Neoprene knee sleeves because they fit well around my knee, for that extra support to keep my knees from hurting when working out or playing basketball, but these Mava knee sleeves are really nice! they are comfortable and stay in place, where my neoprene knee sleeves constantly move while working out and have to be pulled up, probably because they have been used for several months now. i was also a bit concerned, seeing how these are fabric, that they would not provide enough compression around my knee, but they do! i was able to do my circuit training workout, as well as play basketball, and my knees did not hurt afterwards or during either workout! overall, these are very nice, comfortable, and function as advertised. i'm happy i made the purchase! we shall see how they hold up over time, but after wearing them a few times, i'm definitely happy so far!

I’ve had experience with mava knee sleeves before and this model is a nice upgrade with the top strap. I still had a some slippage but not as bad as I have seen with other products. Don’t expect it to stay up high the whole time but it does do a decent job. Maybe with the addition of a wider strap or more of their no slip bumps it would go away completely. With that though I would say I’m overall pleased with the product. I am a jiujitsu practitioner and have used the sleeve a couple times already and have been pleased with both the support and the ability of it to stay generally in place. I would buy one again and recommend it

I should preface this by saying I inherited a Factor 5 Leiden chromosome from both parents and developed a blood clot in my right leg. I am a runner and fairy athletic at almost 69 years old. Fortunately for me I was in good shape and am now in need of a compression sleeve for my knee. I use the compression socks so what I was looking for was some assist in conjunction with the socks. These are moderate in pressure and my size was large and I pretty much was right in the middle of the fitting size for large. So these work pretty goof for me and offer a decent amount of support. It is my hope that I will be able to start running again and the knee and the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) can be controlled with exercise and a small dosage of blood thinner. I take no other medications so the outlook is positive.

I bought this in hopes of managing my knee pain for a SPARTAN 5k obstacle race. I needed something that would allow for range of motion and a variety of movement and running. Mava was recommended to me weeks ago by fellow Spartan race runner, along with Kinesiology tape. On race day, I applied kinesiology tape to the lateral side of my knee and put on my knee compression sleeve. The combo worked! I had no knee pain at all! And lateral knee pain has been something I've struggled with since I started jogging more than two years ago. (*I have been training with Walgreens velcro knee braces with open patellas to help manage my knee pain and get stronger when jogging. These usually do the trick, but limits range of motion and add bulk.) While I can't say at this time if the knee sleeve on its own would have been the sole solution to my pain, I do think the little extra support from the kinesiology tape was probably a huge contributor to my success in warding off pain. I would recommend trying out the combo of taping (if done correctly) with this sleeve for physical activity and short runs.

Update: I've had these for over two years, and they still work well. Not as tight as some, light compression on the knee that is comfortable, and they don't slide down easily. I hand wash them, and they have surprised me by lasting this long. Original review: Because I have thick thighs and muscular calves, I find it hard to find knee sleeves that fit. Some absolutely strangle my calves and thighs while they fit my knees just right, others are too loose on my knees. I emailed Mava support to ask which knee sleeve they recommended for light squats and knee rehab for someone with larger legs but smaller knees, and they suggested these, so I gave 'em a shot. While I don't find the knee area tight enough for squatting heavy, overall I really like these - they're warm, they do apply some compression on my knees and are flexible enough to fit my legs, too. For squats, I'm using a wrap over the sleeve for a little more compression for my trouble knee, and they're great for the rest of my workout and recovery - leaving them on for a little while has stopped the swelling that used to follow my leg workouts. Since everyone's legs are different, these may or may not work for you. For me, I really like them, and if you have bigger legs and smaller knees and need moderate compression, these are well worth trying, especially considering that many knee sleeves are over $30 for one while these are $20 for a pair.

I brought a second pair of these Mava knee sleeves after a lost some weight. The first pair (orange) had the rubber going all the way around the top of the sleeve which helped to keep them in place. The second pair (black) only had the rubber going halfway around so as you would imagine they would work themselves down during the workout much faster. I don’t know why they changed the design but it was a bad decision. First I had a few years and they are in good shape. The second pair are only a few weeks old. How do I get a refund for the second pair?

Update: Still loving these knee sleeves. I got a second pair finally.. Both sets are still holding up and doing well. I would definitely still recommend. These are some of the best knee sleeves I have ever used. I use them 3 nights a week for a variety of sports. Those sports are basketball, soccer, and flag football. They are a great protection against the turf and have helped prevent numerous turf burns from happening. They have held up through 2 football seasons, 1 basketball season, and 2 soccer leagues. They are showing no wear, and are still holding up like the first day I got them. I know there was some complaints about them falling down their thighs after time and playing. I haven't experienced this issue at all and unless they are pulled down from sliding on the turf. (Which I would expect with the force) I love these so much I want to buy a couple more pairs just to make sure I have extras in case they change them or stop selling them. Because I hate when I can't get something that works so well for me.

I have ordered a few different sleeves and they haven’t worked for one reason or another. These though, are great. I have this patch of veins that pop up on the back of my leg during every pregnancy (I’m 5 months right now) and lately they are incredibly painful when I am standing. My doctor suggested I wear compression leggings but...I’m not a leggings girl and it’s summer so I’d like to be able to wear shorts. This gives great support and helps so much with the pain (also covers the not-so-pretty purple patch) so I can wear shorts. Definitely measure your thigh and don’t guess based on pants size (I’m a 2-4 and the size large fits snug but well). I also like that for the price of most other single sleeves, you get two. The thick stretch knit seems to be very good quality, and so far, they stay up well.

Great product fit well and give great support to the knees.

The sizing of these seems just about right, from my experience. My legs have been pretty athletic over the years (!) and fit right at the top of the L-large range, after I'd done the appropriate measuring. I wondered whether to go up to XL or stick with L, but I just couldn't see why I would go for compression sleeves and not have them compress me enough. The years of atheticism have compressed my knee cartilage and, rather than suffer with arthritic pain just because I've stayed fairly fit I thought I'd use these to help comfort when working outdoors, both in terms of knee support and also general warmth - because cold on occasionally painful "iffy" joints isn't especially pleasant, so why suffer it? On me, the L size is very tight. Not to the point of affecting circulation or anything like that, but not especially pleasant for someone who's right on the border between L and XL. If the XL is anything like this, it would actually be too comfortable and not a compression sleeve at all with my measurements right at the bottom of the range. Frankly it would have been better for Mava to have made overlapping ranges, so there's always a pair of compression sleeves that any of us can use that have our individual measurements somewhere in the middle of the range - in which case I'd have gone with the L-XL rather than the L or the XL - if you get my drift. I've worn them for long mornings working on a friend's garden and suffered no ill effects, although the lack of sensation through them makes wearing heavy clothes feel a bit strange. I'll probably use them also when cycling just to help keep the temperature up in my joints, which can get quite chilled when the weather's cold enough. They look well made and I don't forsee any major problems long-term with them, although I wouldn't complain if they stretched just a little bit! In fact, I'm counting on it!

I've always had weak, crackly knees. These are light weight and provide a good amount of support to both of my knees. They have helped me immensely at the gym on exercises I was previously struggling. Would recommend.

I have had a painful knee for 3 months. I am 65 years of age (where did the years go?). Used to play sports. Knee trouble started after just walking the dog 6 miles. Doctor never even looked at my knee, just said "Oh..that will take a long time". NHS just emailed me 2 exercises (no appointment); had 2 sessions with a private sports therapist at £50 per session. She was good but in reality no significant improvement. I have only worn these knee supports 1 day so far (I will re-evaluate in a few weeks) but went for short walk yesterday and felt very good. They are very well made, do not slip and give great support. I found the sizing perfect. I am very hopeful. I need the pair because the right knee is starting to niggle now (the strain of the other knee I guess). Off to the tombs of Egypt once again in 3 weeks and need the help these will give. I note that most people go for the black ones, I am a man and went for the more daring orange and black (shorts in Egypt) - go for it! Good wishes with your ailments.
