First off, it's a bit tighter going on the first time vs the other brands I've used. But after a couple of uses per usual, it gives a bit. Gotta say these are better quality compared to other popular american brands I've used! Thicker for sure and more supportive! Only recieved these a couple of weeks ago, but when you try it a few times and you know it's good, you gotta share about it!! Hope these last a long time! I'd recommend getting both these knee sleeves and the neoprene ones! They're tough to compare, equally great in quality but they do work differently! Love both styles
