Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of COOLMAX AIR technology?
COOLMAX AIR fibers are engineered to wick moisture away from the skin exceptionally fast and allow maximum airflow. This keeps the knee significantly cooler and drier than traditional neoprene sleeves, reducing sweat buildup and discomfort during intense or prolonged activity.

How do I choose between a closed patella and an open patella sleeve?
Choose a closed patella sleeve if you want full compression and warmth over the entire knee, and do not have specific kneecap pain. Choose an open patella sleeve if you have patellofemoral pain, want to reduce direct pressure on the kneecap, or need enhanced breathability over the cap.

How do I choose the right size?
Accurate measurement is crucial. Measure the circumference around the center of your kneecap and about 4-6 inches above and below it. Use the product's specific size chart. A proper fit should be snug and supportive without cutting off circulation or causing numbness.

Can I wear this for heavy squats or powerlifting?
Yes, many lifters use closed patella sleeves for squatting and heavy lifting. They provide proprioceptive feedback, joint warmth, and mild rebound from the compression, which can inspire confidence. They are not rigid braces, so they don't restrict movement.

Will it fit under pants or athletic tights?
Its profile is relatively slim, but it may create a visible bulge under tight-fitting pants or leggings. It fits well under looser athletic pants or can be worn over tights.

How do I wash it to maintain the COOLMAX properties?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry away from direct heat. Avoid high-heat dryers, which can damage the technical fibers.
