Don’t underestimate your power. The stiff back of our Underdog Powerlifting Sleeves equips you with the ultimate support to unleash your full strength.
Engineered specifically for women’s anatomy, these knee sleeves combine ultra-stiff posterior support and a high-compression front panel with a tailored thigh-to-calf ratio to ensure maximum power out of the squat, without material slipping or bunching – so you can focus on hitting your PR, not adjusting your sleeves!
Features
7 mm ultra-stiff CR neoprene (back)
7 mm semi-stiff CR neoprene (front)
Made in China

Between training sessions, store them in the provided mesh bag to let the sweat dry out. To clean the sleeves, turn them inside out and hand wash with wetsuit shampoo and cold water. Hang dry indoors or in the shade, away from UV light. Do not put them in the washer or dryer.
“I’ve never had a knee sleeve that fits close to my leg like this.”
“There’s always like a gap somewhere. I just squatted 370 lbs for 5 in these – fatigued! – and they felt great, even better than I expected.”

Measure the circumference of your leg at the following points:
In the size chart, find the sizes that match your calf measurement. If you can’t get the sleeve over your calf, it won’t go on. Your calf might fit into multiple sizes.
Within your calf sizes, find the one that fits your thigh. You might fit into 2 sizes. Go smaller for a tighter fit, larger for comfort and ease getting them on and off.
Sizing Advice
If 2 different sizes work for you, choose the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
If you are a lifter who craves as much compression as possible: note that if you size below our chart recommendations, you might struggle a bit to pull the sleeve up. Only size down if you already have experience with a tighter fit and are willing to fight for it.
If this is your first pair of knee sleeves, we do not recommend sizing down below your measurements.
Sizing down comes with risk – if you size below your measurements, you accept that the lifetime of the product may diminish as it gets stretched at the seams.

How to wear the sleeves
Watch the video to learn how to put on and take off your Underdog Powerlifting sleeves!
Take care
Your sleeves are likely to get pretty sweaty – but that doesn’t mean your sleeves have to smell!
Between training sessions, store in the provided mesh carry bag so that the sleeves can dry out.
When you’re ready to wash them, follow these instructions:
GET PUMPED
If you are training for heavy one-rep maxes — whether for competition or just for fun — choose the Underdog Powerlifting Sleeves. For everything else (general strength training, Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, Strongwoman), choose the Workhorse Training Sleeves. If you’re a powerlifter who has never used a knee sleeve before, or who wants a secondary training sleeve, we also recommend the Workhorse Training Sleeves for you.
The order is for a pair. A mesh carrying bag is also included, so you can let your sleeves air out between gym sessions.
The sleeves will be shipped to you by the end of January. Depending on where you live, you may receive them at the end of January or the beginning of February.
Measure the circumference of your leg at 15 cm / 6 in above the center of your patella, at your knee joint, and at the widest part of your calf. Match these measurements to our size chart, first by your calf and then by your thigh. If you could fit in 2 sizes, size down for a tighter fit or up for a more comfortable fit. See video here.
You can exchange it for another size. If that size is not available (because this drop is limited), you can choose to (a) receive a credit for the next drop — which you will also get early access to, so you’re first in line for the right size — or (b) receive a refund for the return.
Between training sessions, store them in the provided mesh bag to let the sweat dry out. To clean the sleeves, turn them inside out and hand wash with wetsuit shampoo and cold water. Hang dry indoors or in the shade, away from UV light. Do not put them in the washer or dryer.
