Feature

●? ONE SLEEVE THAT DOES IT ALL: Designed for superior performance and versatility, the 6mm thick Knee Sleeve from Element 26 provides all the support and compression of a 7mm thick knee sleeve, while still allowing you the flexibility and mobility like a 5mm thick knee sleeve. Never again will you have to buy multiple pairs of knee sleeves for different workouts or exercise combinations.
●? OPTIMIZED FOR PERFORMANCE: After hours of rigorous testing in partnership with elite level athletes and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, we were able to find the perfect sleeve material, stitching profile, and contour angle. Those features combined give you optimal stability in the bottom of a squat, enhance the sleeve durability over time, and keep the sleeve from painfully bunching up on you.
●? ENHANCED DURABILITY: With double reinforced seams and a multi-thread cross pattern, never again will you have to worry about your knee sleeves falling apart or failing you during those critical moments. The last thing you want is a sleeve that rips apart during your heaviest lift. These are designed to last hundreds of training sessions and have been tested by some of the most competitive athletes in the world.
●? ELIMINATE SLIDING AND BUNCHING: One key issue that many other sleeves have is their inability to stay in place during a workout which compromises knee stabilization and compression. So when developing the E26 knee sleeves, we made sure that this would not happen with proper sleeve compression and exceptional flexibility. In order for a sleeve to enhance your performance and protect your knee joint, it needs to stay in place. Not slide around and bunch up!
●? NO MORE PAINFUL, CRANKY KNEES: The Element 26 6mm thick knee sleeves have an ideal amount of compressive support to enhance the blood flow in and around your knee joint. That increase in blood flow and warmth helps decrease your pain and improve your function. So whether you have a workout with squats, step-ups, lunges, deadlifts, or any repetitive knee bending, the E26 sleeves will make you feel superhuman!
●? LIFETIME WARRANTY: The quickest way to tell if a product is of high quality is to look at the warranty the company provides. Cheaply made products have short or limited warranties because the companies know it won’t last a long time. At Element 26, we build only premium quality products and standby them with a lifetime warranty. If you ever have any problem, no worries, we got your back (or knees in this case)!

Description

When investing in a pair of knee sleeves you need to look for 3 things.

They need to compress the knee, warm the joint, and reduce any pain or symptoms present.

Many other brands can provide the above, however, there are tradeoffs.

Some of them will compress the knee joint really well but aren’t very flexible, while others are more flexible but provide little to no support.

The two most common models on the market are 5mm and 7mm thick sleeves.

A 7mm thick sleeve is too thick for functional activity. For example, imagine performing some high rep squats and then trying to bang out some burpees. Your knee flexibility is limited along with your performance.

On the other hand, the 5mm sleeve is great for general compression and improving blood flow but lacks the ability to really stabilize the knee for heavier lifts and training.

With such limited options, youd have to make compromises.

At Element 26 we decided to solve this problem.

We asked the question: what type of sleeve does a functional athlete need in order to perform better in competition and training, and how do we get that in one uniform knee sleeve?

It seemed so obvious but the answer was VERSATILITY.

Instead of making another 5mm or 7mm knee sleeve we developed a 6mm knee sleeve that combines the two and gets the best of both worlds, STABILITY and MOBILITY.

With the 6mm knee sleeve, you have the compression and feel of a 7mm knee sleeve, but like a 5mm, it’s not so stiff that it will impede your other movements.


Competition Tested, Athlete Approved There is no guessing in our design. We partnered with some of the most elite athletes on the planet to ensure these sleeves could hold up to their workout intensity. From functional fitness to powerlifting, and Olympic Lifting, we exposed the 6mm knee sleeves to a variety of workouts, movements, and loads. The athletes who tried them fell in love with the sleeves and use them regularly in competition.	Optimized Compression We used 100% premium neoprene, a reinforced nylon outer shell, and double-stitched seams to provide an incredible amount of support and compression. So whether your workout calls for heavy cleans or high-rep squats, your knees will feel bulletproof.	No More Knee Pain “It’s like squatting with pillows on your knees!” That’s exactly what one athlete immediately after using the E26 sleeves. Many athletes struggle with on and off knee pain for years. Some of them try to push through it, but it completely kills their focus. With these sleeves the pain disappears and 100% of your focus is on your workout and hitting that next PR.

“I’m never using another knee sleeve again. I’ve tried several brands in the past and there was always something I didn’t like about them. Too stretchy. Not tight enough. Too long. Couldn’t workout in them without rolling them down …etc.

But with the Element 26 knee sleeves I can lift comfortably while also doing my CrossFit workouts without them getting in the way and constricting my legs. They stay in place, perfect thickness, and comfortable.”

“The 6mm knee sleeves are my absolutely favorite because of the versatility they offer! They give me all the support I need for heavy lifts, while also going the distance staying up and protecting my knees during metcons. They have a sharp look and are extremely durable. These sleeves are great for the pros and everyday average joes!” - Scott Panchik

“The 6mm knee sleeves have been a game changer for my training especially since having knee surgery in 2018. Sometimes the knees get achy so I just throw on my sleeves prior to training and they’re moving much better. The E26 sleeves are just the right amount of support for any lift as well as not being uncomfortable doing any kind of cardio.” - Sam Kwant
