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.

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 |
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.
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.
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.
Passed IPF equipment check first time. Compression is top-tier and the quality is way beyond what I expected at this price. This is the sleeve the community needed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
