McDavid Hex Knee Compression Sleeves — Pink Medium (1 Pair), 9mm Hex Padding & Moisture-Wicking

These extended pull-on knee sleeves combine targeted Hex padding with compression fabric designed to manage sweat, reduce skin chafing, and add an extra layer of impact protection. Built for athletes who demand coverage from knee to upper shin, they deliver a close fit and stay-in-place performance for court play, lifting, and rehabilitation activities.

How does the Hex padding protect my knee during play?

The sleeves incorporate 9mm Hex pads positioned over the kneecap and upper shin to disperse impact energy and reduce force on contact. The padding is flexible so it moves with your knee and preserves mobility while offering a softer barrier than bare skin.

• 9mm Hex technology covers the knee and adjacent shin area.
• Flexible honeycomb cushion molds to movement, not bulk.
• Extended length protects against scrapes and floor friction.

Will these sleeves keep me dry and comfortable during long sessions?

Yes — McDavid's hDc Moisture Management Technology wicks sweat away from skin to help you stay drier and reduce cling. The breathable compression fabric also helps keep muscle temperature steady and minimizes irritation from repeated motion.

• Advanced moisture-wicking fabric moves sweat outward for faster evaporation.
• Breathable knit minimizes overheating during high-effort drills.
• Non-slip material keeps sleeves from sliding without pinching.

How should I choose the right size for effective compression?

These sleeves are designed to fit snugly for optimal support and compression benefits. If your measurements are at the top of a size range, McDavid recommends sizing up for comfort; a too-tight sleeve may limit circulation and feel restrictive.

• Intended for a tight, supportive fit; sizing up may improve comfort if between sizes.
• Extended length improves coverage for taller users or those needing shin protection.
• Machine washable and dryable for easy care after repeated use.

What activities are these sleeves best suited for?

These sleeves are versatile for on-court and gym use, useful during contact sports, strength training, and recovery work. They protect against abrasions, provide gentle compression to support muscle warmth, and add padding where impacts are common.

• Recommended for basketball, volleyball, football, roller derby, and court sports.
• Also suitable for weightlifting, CrossFit, powerlifting, and physical therapy support.
• Can be worn under knee pads for extra cushioning and reduced chafing.

Who is this for: Athletes and active people who want lightweight, extended knee and shin protection without sacrificing mobility — including basketball and volleyball players, contact sport competitors, strength trainers, and anyone seeking extra abrasion resistance during practice or daily activities. The sleeves are unisex and available in multiple sizes; choose the next size up if your measurements are near the top of a range to ensure comfort with the intended compression level.
