How to measure for each sleeve

Use a flexible tape measure, flat against the skin and snug without digging in. Each Nordic Lifting sleeve is sized from a different spot, so pick your sleeve in the finder first.

Sleeve Where to measure
Knee Sleeves, 7mm The circumference of your thigh 4 inches (10 cm) above the kneecap.
Knee Compression Sleeves Around the center of your knee (mid-patella), with your leg straight.
Elbow Sleeves, 5mm Measure the circumference of the elbow joint for a perfect fit.
Elbow Compression Sleeves At the level of your elbow, slightly bent (about 30 degrees).

Every size result comes from that product's own size chart, the same chart shown in the product photos. Sizes that are sold out right now are marked, so you will not be sent to a size you cannot buy.

Between two sizes?

  • 7mm knee sleeves: they run small. Choose smaller for a tight, lock-in feel (harder to pull on), or larger for a slightly looser, comfort-focused fit.
  • Knee compression sleeves: go one size up for a more comfortable fit, or one size down for extra compression.
  • 5mm elbow sleeves: size down for a firmer, tighter feel, or size up for an easier fit and more freedom of movement.
  • Elbow compression sleeves: the chart gives a tight-fitting sleeve. If you want a looser fit, order one size larger.

Neoprene or compression knit?

Our 7mm knee sleeves and 5mm elbow sleeves are thick neoprene: warm, firm and made for heavy squats and pressing. Our compression sleeves are thin, breathable knit, built for movement and longer wear. Read more in how to measure knee sleeves.

Sleeve sizing questions

Do Nordic Lifting knee sleeves run small?

Yes, the 7mm knee sleeves run small, and the size chart allows for it. Measure your thigh 4 inches above the kneecap and follow the chart.

Can I measure in centimeters?

Yes. Switch the finder to cm. The 5mm elbow sleeve chart is published in inches, so its centimeter values are converted (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

How do I wash my sleeves?

Hand wash in cool water with a little mild detergent, rinse well and let them air dry. Skip the dryer. See how to wash knee sleeves for more.

My measurement is outside the chart. What now?

Measure again carefully. If you are still outside the chart, contact our team before you order and we will help.
