McDavid is always quality
I got these for basketball and am very happy with them. I typically wear tights under them as well so I can't speak to how they grip without tights, but even with tights on they stay up on my legs very well. I have gotten some off brand ones and they slip down constantly. These also will slide down and need to be pulled up, but it isn't nearly as often.They are very durable. I used to play a lot harder than I do now so I would seemingly always be on the ground diving for a ball or something and they would hold up to the abuse. Tights of any brand seem to rip very easily but these hold up a lot better. They will rip but not as easily as tights do. They aren't super breathable but since I wear tights it isn't really an issue with me. The pads are very flexible so you don't even notice them on when you're running.I have had several pairs of these over the years and am very happy with them. The price is a little higher than off brand versions but in this case you do get what you pay for. It's well worth the price and will absolutely buy them again when I wear through these.

Good protection, and sizing is a bit small
I bought these leg sleeves for support and protection particularly for indoors basketball. Wore it a couple of times now and I must say I am not disappointed with the minimal support and good amount of protection it gives. Though one thing I was worried about at first is how I can manage to wear these every time, as they are a bit tighter than I expected. I bought a Medium based on the sizing provided here for my knees (15"), and first try I thought it was a little bit tight on the knees as well as with the elastic bands for the thighs (17.25"). But when I actually tested it out on court, they actually feel alright, which lessened my worries, though the elastic bands may have been better though I can primarily attribute it to my massive thighs. Moisture wicking capabilities are also great. Durability still needs to be tested, but overall, these are a great pair of leg sleeves, and I will buy it again.Update (July 10, 2018): After 6 months, these pair of sleeves are still holding up nicely. No holes, stitching issues, or elastic degradation. The only concern I have is that the Hex area that comes in contact with the knee will have an off smell after every use. This just happened recently and even considering that it is washed properly every after one session of use. I'm thinking that this is inevitable for sports equipment, therefore it's also important to disinfect (e.g. washing with bleach) from time to time, to prevent bacteria from building up which is the cause of the smell.

Great support and protection
Bought for my husband for softball and they did end up breaking after the first slide. It cause he had too small of a size. Having the correct size does matter. Plan to use again though.

Always Great
I have another pair like these that I purchased almost 10 years ago. I use them under my work pants. So far, these are just a good as my other pair. Fits snug as long as you grab the right size. Wash them in a garment bag for better care and longevity. They will loosen up after a while but still hold it's fit. Took some time for my old pair to loosen up. After a decade, they aren't as tight but still stays where I need them.

Bought them for work.
I recently started using these compression knee pads, and they have made a significant difference in my daily activities. The fit is snug yet comfortable, providing excellent support without restricting movement. The compression helps reduce swelling and discomfort, especially during the workday or long periods of standing. The material is breathable and moisture-wicking, which keeps my knees dry and comfortable throughout the day. Additionally, the pads are durable and maintain their elasticity even after multiple washes. Overall, these compression knee pads offer great support and relief, making them a valuable addition to my tool bag. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking effective knee support."

Disappointed
I'm so disappointed with these! I paid a premium price expecting top-tier quality, especially regarding durability and comfort. Instead, the moment I took them out of the package, they felt flimsy. There's absolutely no give or stretch to the fabric, and they're ridiculously tight on my 9U player. She immediately complained about how uncomfortable they are to run in, which is a deal-breaker. They're going straight back! I really feel ripped off, especially given the higher cost. I expected so much more for the price I paid.

Ok but not super durable
We have purchased several pairs of these over the course of 3 years...and there-in lies the problem. I wish they were more durable and held up longer than a month into volleyball season. Thankfully he only wears one at a time and they are not R/L specific so he can replace the damaged one (fabric covering the padding rips easily) with the other guard when necessary. There don't seem to be a ton of options out there that fit well so when I see these at a discount I try to grab the next pair to have on hand. He prefers these to the traditional shorter VB knee pads as these help prevent floor burns. They easily slide on and off and we like that they provide some semblance of both knee and leg protection.

Buy These TWO Sleeves, worth every penny!
I bought the large for my 12 year old son, whose legs are big for his age, purchased an Adult Large, which was spot in. He had a knee sprain and plays both basketball and flag football. With an important football tournament we needed a sleeve quickly. After trying under armour and a few other brands these are far superior. First they stay put on his knee are well made, wash well, and you get TWO sleeves which to a sports parent makes total sense. The other brands were returned immediately. Thank you McDavid! I will be ordering the shorter version and will likely order these in black and other colors to match his teams.
