Review Of Assassins Knee Sleeves
I purchased these as a gift for my mother, and she loves them! First knee brace that fit without cutting off circulation or slipping off.
NEW from RockTape, the ultimate weapon for workout domination - Assassins, an entirely new generation of knee sleeves. Assassins will keep you ahead of the game--keeping your knees supported and protected while slaying reps and crushing WODs.
Assassins can be used in a variety of sports and fitness pursuits, including: weightlifting, high-intensity interval training, obstacle course racing, running, cycling and other functional fitness endeavors.
Assassins are available in sizes extra small through extra large, with two thickness options: 5mm for moderate support and 7mm for maximum support.
Assassins were formulated with the unique needs of athletes in mind, and unlike sleeves from other companies, are much more than a re-purposed medical knee support.
We fine-tuned Assassins through three years of feedback from both RockTape customers and professional athletes Ashley Horner, Marcus Filly, and Neal Maddox to provide the ultimate knee supports.
The result is a pair of knee sleeves that are suitable for the most grueling workouts, lifting events, and obstacle course races - yet comfortable enough for the weekend warrior.
Taller than standard sleeves, and carefully constructed with a unique organic design, Assassins support the knee and compresse the vastus medals oblique (VMO) at its insertion point above the patella. This helps ensure proper stability and tracking of the knee, and can often dramatically reduce non-specific knee pain*, particularly during squats.
The extra-tall design also keeps sleeves in place - preventing excess slippage and shifting during workouts - a common complaint of competing sleeves.
Protective gear should always be reasonably priced and available to anyone. We also believe that every athlete deserves two sleeves - that's why Assassins are always sold as a pair.
When compared to the competition, Assassins' quality and price can't be matched.
Engineered with a synthetic fabric shell bonded to SBR neoprene and secured via double-mauser stitching, Assassins comfortably support the knee joint through countless workouts.
Rigorous life-cycle testing by both our own athletes and automated test programs guarantee superior quality. If any pair of Assassins fails to carry out their purpose, RockTape offers the industry’s only one-year warranty against defects and premature failure from date of purchase.

Measure the circumference of your knee around the center of your patella.
Assassins start very snug and can take a few sessions to break in.

I purchased these as a gift for my mother, and she loves them! First knee brace that fit without cutting off circulation or slipping off.
I had my first pair of Assassins for a little over three years and finally wore them out at the seams on the sides. I won't likely ever use any other knee sleeves
Simply amazing in fit, style, and fuction.
These are fantastic! My creaky old knees love them. Make me feel like the 6 million $ man. Put them on and my knees work line new. Only needed one, but perfect as a pair. I bend my knee and it almost snaps back into straight line. No Pain!
I like the comfort and lightweight feel of the knee sleeves. I was hoping they’d work for running, but didn’t work out. Will still use for the warm up. . More for stated use of lifting, maintenance of heat, etc.
