Do not size down, thinking these will stretch!

Sizing:
Sizing on such an aggressive material will be the hardest part about purchasing. You will notice that the sizing guide isn't based on knee circumference, but rather a calf measurement. The reason behind that is due to the fact that it doesn't matter the knee circumference if you cannot get it up over the calf! The quad measurement doesn't matter quite as much either as these sleeves have a good taper on them. I recommend sizing up when a question falls on which size to get.... BUT that is for assurance because these sleeves DO NOT stretch very much.

"It's been 84 years"...... Well not quite but knee sleeves have been on my "to do" list for a LONG time. Well I can finally mark them off that list because our first ever neoprene knee sleeve is here! I searched high and low for an American manufacturer to tackle this project with since we could not get them done internally, but unfortunately could not find one so we expanded the search and was able to find a reputable supplier outside of the USA. They have been a long time buyer of our products actually so the reciprocation made sense. We went back and forth for several months and when I got the first prototype in, I knew we were on to something. Fast forward a few designs and another several months, and here we are! We now have (IMO) the strongest and best 7mm sleeve in the world. The sleeves are NOT a joke... they are seriously stiff and are not intended for a warm compression to walk around in. They are meant more to mimic knee wraps and to get more pounds added to the bar with confidence. These sleeves are sold as a pair.

Another great product

Needed a new set of competition sleeves and had 0 hesitation picking up the pioneers. Sizing seems spot on. Sleeves aren’t particularly hard to get on or off, but aren’t loose either. Only current gripe is that they don’t seem as stiff as some other brands I’ve used, but that’s not necessarily a negative because I’m hoping they are more durable than the previous 2 brands I’ve tried.

Got 'em on. Squatted. Got 'em off. 🎉

Picked these up to be a fresh comp pair for my first meet later in the year. My calves measure about 15.25", so I chose the 2XL (16") one size up as suggested. They went on pretty tight. Nice and stiff to squat in, and came off again without any real trouble. I squatted a PR 4x4 and never removed them between sets, just rolled them down off my quads, so they're not terribly uncomfortable.

Felt compeled to leave a review.

Finally bought into getting some sleeves and Heard how stiff pioneer sleeves were and they were the best priced out of the competitors so I got some. Ordered a size up and glad I did. These mofos are tight! Does it make you have a stronger squat yes and no. Knee pain or aches gone. Knees felt like they were wrapped and was able to do a 30-40 minutes squat session with them on. So yes and no . I usually can rep 315 3 times shakey . But with these sleeves I was feeling confident going deep with 315. Love these sleeves. Knees felt the most secure I’ve ever felt them be. Did this video at the end of my workout just for the review.

Great Sleeves

Great sleeves. Thickest/stiffest sleeves I've ever worn, almost comparable to wearing knee wraps. If you have thick calves, I would definitely go a size up. I bought an XL with 15" calves, and they are super difficult to take off. I would recommend going up a size but that's just my opinion.

Game-Changing Knee Sleeves

I received my knee sleeves today and couldn’t wait to test them out—and wow, they did not disappoint! The difference they make is night and day. With the sleeves on, my knees feel incredibly supported, offering fantastic stability during my lifts. They even helped me hit a new personal record today! I’m giving these knee sleeves a well-deserved five-star rating.
One tip: stick to the size chart. I initially struggled to choose the right size and had to exchange for a different one, but the chart was spot-on. For those new to knee sleeves, putting them on can feel tricky. I recommend the “fold-in-half” method: fold the sleeve in half, position it where you want it, then roll it up to fit snugly over your thigh, knee, and calf.
I’ve purchased several items from this brand, and everything has been top-notch. If you’re on the fence about these knee sleeves, trust me—just get them. You won’t regret it!
