I would definitely recommend getting a small, if you want them like a real competition fit where it's going to take some effort to put them on then do XS
Inzer Ergopro > all Feels like wraps in the hole. It's supposed to hurt and be difficult to get on/off if you have calves. Most expensive by far, but more than worth it. SBD feels as supportive as a sock compared to Inzer. 1-2 month break-in time, so you can get comp SBD fit or size down. Check them out.
Dang, the inzer ergopro's look legit! They are a little more as you mentioned ($135) but if they do feel like wraps then you should be able to add a little more to your total with them, so it's worth it. I would highly recommend sizing down on the SBD knee sleeves. They didn't give much support at all.
I would 100% recommend getting Large. This was the same issue I ran into. I did the opposite of my recommendation and definitely regret it as they are way too loose.
SBD doesn't make a "strong sleeve." The strong sleeves I discuss are from the mark bell slingshot brand. But yes, they would both be good for heavy leg extensions.
In my experience, if the sleeves slide in that easily, they are probably a size too big. I have Cerberus 9mm sleeves and it’s a workout in itself to get them on. Baby powder, sweating and grunting to get them on.
Hi! Great review! My knee joint measures around 45/46cm and my calf around 44cm. Should I get a Large or XLarge? I think a large is going to be too tight.
The suggested size for a knee that measures 45/46cm is a 3XL. I would recommend doing a 2XL, possibly a XL if you wanted a competition fit. But yes the large would be way too tight.
