Review on Dark Iron Fitness Knee Brace For Weightlifting – Small, Padded, Stabilizing Compression Sleeves For Powerlifting And Weight Training – Black by Michael Herrera

I have bought a pair of gloves for working out and a belt from Dark Iron. Both products are of excellent quality. I needed a new pair of knee sleeves so I decided to buy the ones by Dark Iron. Again, the quality did not disappoint. Nice design and excellent craftsmanship.The reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the problem I found with the velcro used to hold the straps. The knee sleeve has two straps, one on top and one at the bottom. They are long as they have to go around your leg. In terms of design I think it is a really a good idea. The problem is that the velcro at the end of the straps loves the material the sleeve is made out of. It just sticks to it real hard and when you try to detach it, the velcro "chews" the material. So you might envision what the sleeve will look like if this happens repeatedly over time.My strategy now is to roll the end of the straps where the velcro is onto itself. The velcro attaches to the strap and in this way there is less of chance for the velcro to attach itself to the rest of the material. You just have to be careful when you do it because any miscalculation will end up with the velcro sticking to the sleeve again.The problem I described is a minor one since the knee sleeves work really well providing that extra protection when you lift heavy. I highly recommend this product
