Questions we actually get
Will it slide down mid-game?
That's the failure the cuff exists to solve. The silicone is printed into the top band in a wave rather than a solid ring, so it grips when the fabric is soaked. Sweat is what defeats a plain sleeve; it doesn't defeat silicone.
Can I actually kneel and slide on it?
Yes, that's the point. The plates run from over the kneecap down the shin and are cut into overlapping segments, so there's real material between you and the surface while the joint still bends freely.
Is it legal for my league?
It's a soft compression sleeve with moulded padding. No hinge, no rigid frame, no metal parts, which is what most equipment rules are written to exclude. Rules still vary by league and level, so if you compete, check yours before game day. If your league turns it away, that counts as a reason to return it and we'll refund you.
Do I need one or two?
A single is one sleeve. The pair is two, one for each knee. Most people who slide, dive or kneel for a living end up wearing both, which is why the second is $20 rather than another $49.
Will it fit under my uniform or work pants?
Under loose or straight-leg pants, yes. This is a full-length sleeve with moulded plates, so it isn't invisible. Under a slim fit it will show a contour. Most people wear it over the leg.
How do I wash it?
Cold water, gentle cycle or by hand, air dry flat. No dryer, no iron, no bleach. Heat destroys the elastic recovery, which is what keeps the sleeve in position.
What if I get the size wrong?
Contact support with your order number. Eligible size exchanges are free, and we will give you the exact exchange steps before you send anything back.
Will it feel supportive around the knee?
The close-knit sleeve is designed to provide a firm, supportive feel and keep the padding aligned while you move. It is protective sports equipment, not a treatment for instability or injury. For persistent pain, swelling or instability, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Does it work for both sport and work?
Yes. The build doesn't change: plates over the kneecap and shin, a silicone cuff to hold position, and a knit that lets the joint move. Whether you're sliding into a base or kneeling on a subfloor, the surface is hard and the knee is what meets it.
How long does one last?
Wear depends on frequency, surface and care. Heat is especially hard on compression fabric, so cold washing and air drying will help it hold its shape longer. If the product fails during the stated trial period, contact support with your order number.
