McDavid Hex Knee Compression Sleeves Scarlet Medium — 9mm Padded, Extended-Length Support

McDavid Hex Knee Compression Sleeves are padded, extended-length compression sleeves that combine 9mm Hex protective pads with moisture-wicking fabric to support and shield knees during sports and training.

These pull-on sleeves pair targeted padding with graduated compression and hDc moisture management so athletes can stay protected and comfortable through practices, games, or rehab sessions. The extended-length design reduces scrapes and keeps the sleeve from riding up while the Hex pad distributes impact across the knee and upper shin. Built to be durable and machine washable, they’re commonly used across court sports, weight training and recovery work.

How do these sleeves protect my knee during contact sports?

The integrated 9mm Hex pads absorb and disperse impact, lowering the force transferred to the knee and surrounding skin. The extended fabric covers more of the leg to guard against scrapes and surface abrasions during slides or falls.

• Patented Hex pads at the knee and shin that spread impact
• Extended length for extra coverage against cuts and turf burns
• Non-slip knit keeps pads aligned during play

Will they stay comfortable and dry during long workouts?

Yes — the hDc Moisture Management Technology wicks sweat away from skin and the breathable knit promotes airflow, helping you stay cooler and reduce chafing. The compression fabric also helps maintain warmth in muscles without feeling heavy or clammy.

• Moisture-wicking yarns move sweat to the fabric surface
• Breathable construction for ventilation and reduced irritation
• Compression fit minimizes rubbing and improves muscle support

How should I pick the right size and fit?

The sleeves are designed to fit snugly for effective compression and pad stability. If your measurements sit near the top of a size range, choose the next size up for comfort; a tight fit is normal, but it should never restrict circulation.

• Intended for a close, supportive fit — select size accordingly
• Extended leg length for improved coverage and pad placement
• Machine washable and dryable without losing shape

Can these be used beyond sports, like for recovery or cross-training?

Absolutely. Athletes often wear them for weightlifting, CrossFit, and post-rehab sessions where support and protection aid performance and comfort. The compression, padding, and moisture control make them versatile for gym work, daily wear during recovery, and added support under other knee pads.

• Suitable for basketball, volleyball, football, roller derby, and lifting
• Useful for post-surgery or physical therapy when cleared by a clinician
• Works under additional protective gear for layered protection
