Sizing and fit
How do I choose my SBD size?
Always use the size chart on the product page before ordering. For knee sleeves, measure around the centre of the kneecap with the leg straight and relaxed. For belts, measure around your waist where the belt will sit, usually just above the navel. Do not use trouser waist size.
Should I size down in SBD knee sleeves?
Some experienced athletes choose a tighter fit for squats and heavy lifting. If you are new to knee sleeves, use the recommended size first. Size up if your calf measurement is more than 4 cm larger than your knee measurement.
How do I choose between SBD 5mm, 7mm and 7mm Powerlifting Knee Sleeves?
Choose 5mm Weightlifting Knee Sleeves for more mobility and dynamic lifting. Choose 7mm Knee Sleeves for firm support during squats and strength training. Choose 7mm Powerlifting Knee Sleeves for maximum compression and competition-style squat support.
Belts, wrist wraps and support gear
What is the difference between the SBD 10mm and 13mm Lever Belt?
The 10mm belt has a lower-profile buckle. The 13mm belt provides firmer support. Compare both on our SBD 10mm vs 13mm Lever Belt guide.
What is the difference between Flexible and Stiff Wrist Wraps?
Flexible wrist wraps offer support while allowing more wrist movement and comfort. Stiff wrist wraps offer maximum stability for heavy pressing. Read more on our Flexible vs Stiff Wrist Wraps guide.
Are SBD products IPF approved?
Many SBD support and competition products are IPF approved where applicable, including key products such as knee sleeves, belts, wrist wraps and singlets. Always check the individual product page for current approval details before competition use.
Socks
What is the difference between Deadlift Socks, Sport Socks and Trainer Socks?
Deadlift Socks provide long-leg coverage for pulling movements. Sport Socks are versatile crew-style socks for training and everyday athletic wear. Trainer Socks are the lowest-cut SBD sock option for gym training and daily use.
