Overview
The Rogue 3MM Knee Sleeve is a performance-driven accessory designed for athletes focusing on agility, endurance, and high-repetition functional training. As one of the few American-made knee sleeves available, it utilizes a high-quality SBR/Neoprene blend to provide consistent joint compression and warmth. The 3mm thickness offers a light, flexible fit that supports the knee without restricting movement, making it ideal for running, jumping, and dynamic cardio sessions.

Key Features and Specifications
3mm Thickness: Specifically engineered for agility and endurance activities where maximum range of motion is required.
SBR/Neoprene Blend: Constructed from a durable yet flexible material that maintains shape and compression over time.
Contoured Fit: Anatomically designed to follow the natural curves of the leg, reducing bunching and slipping.
Sold as a Pair: Each order includes two (2) knee sleeves.
Color: Sleek Black with white Rogue branding.
Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured in the United States.
Size Options: Available in XS, S, M, L, and XL.
Performance Benefits
Joint Warmth: Keeps the knee joint warm during rest periods and transitions, which helps prevent injury and reduces stiffness.
Compression Support: Provides a light, steady squeeze that improves proprioception (body awareness) and aids in pain management for minor joint issues.
Enhanced Agility: The thin 3mm profile is less bulky than powerlifting sleeves, allowing for unrestricted movement during sprints, box jumps, and metabolic conditioning.
Reduced Recovery Time: Promoting blood flow to the joint area can assist in faster recovery after high-volume training sessions.
Maintenance and Care
Washing Instructions: Hand wash the sleeves in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not machine wash or use bleach, as this can degrade the neoprene fibers.
Air Dry Only: Lay flat to air dry. Never place the sleeves in a mechanical dryer, as high heat will cause the neoprene to lose its elasticity and may shrink the sleeve.
Hygiene Tip: To prevent odor, do not leave damp sleeves in a closed gym bag. Rinse them with fresh water after heavy sweat sessions.
Inspection: Periodically check the seams and the neoprene surface for any small nicks or tearing. Prompt care can prevent a small snag from becoming a structural failure.
Fit Guide
To find your size, measure the circumference of your upper calf approximately 10cm below the center of the knee cap.
XS: 31 - 33cm
S: 33 - 35cm
M: 35 - 37cm
L: 37 - 40cm
XL: 40 - 43cm
Pro Tip: If you prefer a very tight "competition fit," consider selecting one size smaller than the chart suggests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these better for squats than the 7mm version? It depends on your goal. For heavy, maximal squats, the 7mm version provides more "spring" and support. The 3mm version is better for high-rep "Metcon" style workouts and running.
Q: Can I wear these for combat sports like BJJ? Yes. The flexible 3mm design is popular among practitioners who need knee protection and warmth without the bulk of a traditional brace.
Q: Are these HSA/FSA eligible? Yes, for qualified customers, these may be HSA/FSA eligible through services like Truemed.
Q: Will they slide down during a run? When sized correctly according to the calf measurement, the contoured fit is designed to stay in place. Ensure you measure accurately to prevent slipping.
