Sticky Knee Sleeves 5mm

Twenty minutes in, the sleeve is heading for your calf

You know the moment. The sweat runs, the neoprene gives, and the sleeve slides towards your calf centimetre by centimetre. Between sets you pull it back up instead of thinking about the next lift. That is exactly what the inside of this sleeve is built for.

Sitting there is a continuous silicone layer in a honeycomb structure, across the whole surface rather than as a narrow strip at the hem. The honeycombs carry embossed cross equip lettering. The structure grips on the skin and holds the sleeve where you pulled it to. That is the entire point of the product – beyond it, what you have in your hand is a cleanly made 5 mm sleeve.

Smooth outside, grippy inside – and 5 mm that move with you

From the outside the Sticky is a plain black sleeve, smooth neoprene with a white cross equip logo. The cut is contoured: the shape follows the bend of the knee, which is why the sleeve does not throw folds into the back of your knee down in the bottom position.

The 5 mm are a deliberate choice. They give you compression and keep the joint warm without slowing you down in flexion. For long, mixed sessions that is the thickness you keep on across squats, cleans, lunges and wall balls. If you want noticeably more push-back on heavy single sets, your way leads to 7 mm – which in turn restrict you more on high rep counts.

Care is quickly told: wash at 30 °C, no fabric softener, then let them dry in the air. They need nothing beyond that. They are sold as a pair – so one order covers both knees.

Which size fits you?

You measure on the leg, not on the sleeve: bend the knee slightly, put the tape 10 cm below the kneecap, read off the circumference. Then look for that number in the table:

If your number falls into a gap between two ranges, say at 36.5 cm, go up to the next size.

One point causes more wrong orders here than anything else: the Sticky is measured further down the leg than our neoprene line. On the Knee Sleeves Neopren 5mm the tape runs around the slightly bent knee itself, on the Sticky it sits ten centimetres lower. The letters therefore do not carry across, even though both lines run from XS to XL. And something plenty of people underestimate: the silicone layer does not rescue a size that is too wide. It only grips once the neoprene is lying against you anyway. Not sure about your number? Send it over and we will place you.
