Size Guide

How to measure your Knee Sleeve size
- Use a flexible tape measure to carefully measure the circumference of your knee on a straight leg
- Make sure to wrap the measuring tape around the mid patella area (around your knee cap)
- Once the measurement is made, compare it to the provided chart. Your knee measurement should fit in one of the sizes provided
- If your measurement happens to be on the edge of one of the sizes, for example exactly 13.6” or precisely 16.5”, chose a smaller size if you prefer a tight fit and added compression, or a size up if you desire a loose fit and easier joint movement
- Measuring with a bent leg or in the wrong area (see image) can result in faulty sizing

Lightweight Knee Compression Sleeves for Everyday Training
Nordic Lifting knee compression sleeves are knitted from nylon yarn with spandex and latex yarn for stretch and compression. They are thin, flexible and easy to move in, which makes them a good fit for running, CrossFit, court sports and daily training. Each order is one pair.
Who they are for
- Runners, CrossFit athletes and anyone who wants light compression without the bulk of neoprene
- People who want a sleeve they can wear for long sessions
- Men and women: unisex sizing from S to XXL
Knee compression sleeves vs 7mm knee sleeves
- Compression sleeves are thin and breathable, built for movement and long wear
- Our 7mm neoprene knee sleeves are thicker and firmer, built for heavy squats
How to size
- Use the size chart in the product photos. The recommended size should give a snug fit that still lets you bend the knee freely
Care
- Hand wash in cool water with a little mild detergent, rinse and let them air dry. Skip the dryer so the knit keeps its stretch.
Inside the package
- 1 pair of knee compression sleeves

HOLY MOLY WHAT A DIFFERENCE THESE MAKE
I have not had any problems with them slipping down, they fit well under my Wrangler Cowboy cut and Levi 501 jeans, they look stylish with shorts, do not stink, do not cut off my circulation and they have really improved the quality of my life.

I love these Nordic Compression Sleeves! I had my doubts if I'd like working out in the gym with something on my knees, but my trainer highly recommended I get some.

Great material! Good buy! Wear them right, and they won't roll!
I absolutely love these. I lifting in these, do my cardio in them, and just do things outside of the gym with them on. As long as you wear them correctly as they tell you to do, these don't roll for me and shouldn't roll like some people are claiming.

I had previously ordered the Nordic elbow compression sleeves for tendonitis that I suffer from when lifting heavy. I was so completely impressed and satisfied that I ordered my 14-year old daughter a pair of knee sleeves as she has pain in her knees from practicing taekwondo.

I had previously ordered the Nordic elbow compression sleeves for tendonitis that I suffer from when lifting heavy. I was so completely impressed and satisfied that I ordered my 14-year old daughter a pair of knee sleeves as she has pain in her knees from practicing taekwondo.
These compression sleeves for my knees are perfect. They have wanted to replace both my knees for about 27 years and and these sleeves help me still be able to work a full week. For more than just lifting weights.
These work well and give me the support that I need. Great range of motion and they are comfortable.
Had a low bar for $25 knee sleeves, but these far exceeded my expectations. They were easy to put on, comfortable and did not slip. Gave me that supported feeling while barbell squatting. I will buy another pair for sure.
These fit well and do the job
I bought this product due to knee pain and muscle tightness. I've tried another brand but Nordic Lifting is far superior in comfort, support and warmth. I have arthritis of the knee and spine and I have a lot of muscle tightness. This product gives me the stability and support I need when I'm up and doing my normal activities of daily living. I highly recommend it and am about to buy a second pair. Make sure you measure your knee to get the proper size for you.
