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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dark Iron Fitness -- They never cease to amaze me

Comfortable is an understatement. These knee sleeves slide on and provide incredible support.I recently injured my knees while hiking the AT and have been doing lots of PT-type rehab exercises to restrengthen my patellar tendon. As a result, I have been very cautious about squatting and dead-lifting, using very light weight. I was a little skeptical when I first tried them on, because the Velcro straps kept getting stuck to the outside material; I started to question the quality. While this appears to be an issue that will cause the cloth of the exterior sleeve to frizz out from continued use and the Velcro continuously sticking, I don't think it will effect the actual structure of the sleeve; just cosmetics.With multiple workout sets under my belt, I can safely say that these are now a constant in my gym bag on leg and back days. I highly recommend this product, which is a GREAT value for what you receive. I'm giving it 5-stars, because I really love this company and have a lot of their products. I'm giving the Velcro situation the benefit of the doubt, because in the past few years of buying Dark Iron Fitness products, I've yet to have a product break down.

Pros
  • Can be worn during various workouts and sports
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with knee replacements
