Engineered for the Platform

The Panther Athletics 7mm knee sleeve is built for competitive powerlifters who refuse to compromise. We obsessed over every detail — the neoprene compound, the anatomical geometry, the compression profile — so you can focus entirely on moving weight.

Certified for IPF, USPA, and USAPL competition. Zero tolerance for subpar specs.

  • 7mm NBR/SBR neoprene blend — maximum compression with superior rebound vs. standard SBR
  • 30cm competition-standard length for full knee and patellar coverage
  • True anatomical L/R mirrored cut — right sleeve for the right knee, left for the left. No generic one-size-fits-both shortcuts
  • Raised 3D honeycomb silicone inner grip — locks the sleeve in place under load, no slipping at depth
  • Flatlock triple-reinforced stitching along all stress seams — built to survive thousands of reps
  • White silkscreen Panther logo on black neoprene — clean competition aesthetic
  • IPF / USPA / USAPL approved for sanctioned competition use

Measure the circumference of your leg 10cm directly above your kneecap while standing. Use a soft measuring tape. If you're between sizes, size up — a tighter sleeve provides more compression and support.

Size Circumference (above knee) Recommended For
XS 30 – 34 cm  /  11.8 – 13.4 in Very narrow legs
S 34 – 38 cm  /  13.4 – 15.0 in Slimmer build
M 38 – 42 cm  /  15.0 – 16.5 in Average build — most popular
L 42 – 46 cm  /  16.5 – 18.1 in Larger legs / high quad mass
XL 46 – 50 cm  /  18.1 – 19.7 in Strong quad development
XXL 50 – 56 cm  /  19.7 – 22.0 in Heaviest/most muscular builds
How to measure: Stand upright with your leg straight. Place the measuring tape around your leg 10cm (about 4 inches) above the center of your kneecap. Pull snug but not tight. Record in centimeters. If the measurement falls on the boundary, size up for maximum compression or size down for a slightly looser (easier to put on) fit.

Built Different.

01
Real Anatomical Fit

Left for left, right for right. Most brands sell identical sleeves for both knees. We don't. The mirrored cut means proper tracking, better compression distribution, and no torque at the seam.

02
Competition Specs Only

30cm. 7mm. IPF-approved. We built to the exact spec sheets — not close, not "competition-inspired." If it doesn't pass the rulebook, it doesn't ship.

03
Honest Pricing

SBD charges $145 for a sleeve. You're paying for the logo. Our materials match. Our specs match. The price doesn't have to. $79 — and zero compromises on quality.

Finally a sleeve that competes with SBD at a price that doesn't hurt. The L/R anatomical fit is exactly what I needed — zero migration between attempts. These will be in my bag at every meet.

I was skeptical — $79 for competition sleeves? But these are the real deal. Compress fast, hold all session, and the silicone grip is legit. My Rehbands are collecting dust now.

Product Questions

Are these IPF-approved for competition use?
+

Yes. These meet all IPF equipment specifications: 7mm neoprene, 30cm maximum length, anatomical L/R cut. Approved for IPF, USAPL, and USPA competitions. Always confirm with your meet director if you have specific questions about your federation's ruleset.

How do I find my correct size?
+

Measure the circumference of your knee at the center of your kneecap while standing with your leg straight. Match your measurement (in cm) to our size chart above. When in doubt, size down — sleeves should require effort to put on. A properly fitted sleeve provides noticeable compression from the moment it's on.

What's the return/exchange policy?
+

30-day hassle-free returns on unworn product in original condition. Size exchanges ship both ways for free — just email support@pantheratletics.com and we'll send a prepaid label and your replacement size same day.

How do I care for neoprene knee sleeves?
+

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent after heavy use. Never machine wash or tumble dry — heat degrades neoprene over time. Air dry inside-out away from direct sunlight. Proper care extends sleeve life significantly and maintains compression performance.

How long does shipping take?
+

Orders ship within 1–2 business days from our US warehouse. Standard delivery is 3–5 business days. Expedited options available at checkout. International orders ship worldwide — 7–14 business days depending on destination, customs times may vary.
