Why these win.

7MM

Max-spec compression.

The thickest neoprene the IPF allows. Our NBR/SBR dual-compound blend holds its stiffness for years where cheap single-compound sleeves soften in months — more rebound out of the hole, every session.

L/R

Anatomical. Not a tube.

Your knee doesn't flex in a straight line. Our true left/right pattern matches the joint's contour at full depth — even pressure across the structures that take the load in a heavy squat.

Zero migration.

Dozens of raised silicone contact points interlock with your skin — not a flat strip relying on friction. Warm up in them, max out in them. They don't move between attempts.

Same spec. Half the price.

"Best sleeves I've used in six years of competing. Switched from SBD and don't miss them."

Marcus T.USAPL · 700lb squat
Switched from SBD

"$69 for competition sleeves? I was skeptical. These are the real deal — my Rehbands are collecting dust."

Kayla T.USPA · 60kg class
Switched from Rehband

"The L/R cut makes a huge difference — locked in through the entire range, even at depth."

Sarah K.IPF · 3× national competitor

"Every other sleeve slides mid-set. These lock in at warm-ups and stay locked through PR attempts."

Jake R.USPA · 2+ years on Panther

"Passed my meet equipment check without issue. Feels just as good as my old SBD pair at half the price."

Find your size.

Measure your thigh circumference 10cm (4in) above the kneecap while standing. Use a soft tape, pull snug. The measurement point matters more than most brands explain.

Pro tip: Most competitive powerlifters take M or L. Between sizes? Size up — a tighter sleeve compresses better and breaks in over 3–5 sessions. Size exchanges are free, both ways.

Size	Thigh Circumference	Best For
S	30–33 cm · 11.8–13.0 in	Slimmer build
M	33–36 cm · 13.0–14.2 in	Average — most popular
L	36–40 cm · 14.2–15.7 in	Strong quad development
XL	40–43 cm · 15.7–16.9 in	High quad mass
XXL	43–46 cm · 16.9–18.1 in	Heaviest builds

Before you buy.

Yes — approved for IPF, USAPL, USPA, and GPC sanctioned competition. Built to the maximum permitted spec: 7mm thickness, 30cm length. Carry the packaging to your equipment check as proof of approval.

Size exchanges are free — both ways. Email support@pantheratletics.com, we send the new size and cover all shipping. You shouldn't pay to find the right fit.

Completely. New 7mm sleeves need 3–5 sessions of break-in — that's the neoprene at full density. Pro tip: slide a plastic bag over your foot and shin to get them on while new.

Premium brands charge for the logo; we charge for materials and construction. Same 7mm IPF specification, same triple flatlock stitching — we just don't bill you for the marketing. That gap is our business model.

Orders ship in 1–2 business days from our US warehouse; estimated delivery about 1 week (5–7 business days), free on every order. Expedited available at checkout if you're close to a meet.

One pair (left + right specific sleeves), a mesh carry bag, a sizing reference card, and care instructions. The $69 price is per pair — both sleeves included.
