My daughter does CrossFit and wants knee sleeves. They are way to large for her. Any idea if these will work as knee sleeves for smaller kids?

Take a look at the sizing chart for the knee sleeves. They go pretty small. If they are still too small you could try the elbow sleeves. But having both, they are slightly different in shape and feel.

I'm 4'll ( 120lb.) female crossfitter and the Rehband knee bands are way too big for me. I ordered the Medium elbow sleeves instead and they work perfectly for me. I get a lot of chuckles in the gym but they work. They are the same exact design but better fit for smaller frames.

My son injured his knee in football to where he had a stretched PCL muscle which is in the back of the knee. He wears these for Basketball and weight lifting. My advice is to check with your doctor to see if you can do squats or it just depends upon the injury to your knee. My son doesn't use them to sleep in. I don't know if this answers your question but he seems to think it works perfectly.

My son is 7 and about 4ft, bought him the x-large. They are a bit large on him compared to what other kids on his team wear, so they might be ok for your son. It's a shame the sizing is so vague with these things :/

I would think so. I got the same size for my 8 yr old. They are a little big but still work great!

No, but you would want to find good youth pads. Adult pads are too big. I have been real impressed with the quality of this gear. Even with having to buy separate knee savers.

They are knee length. My 9YO daughter has them over her shin guards and stills is able to fold them over an inch. She's tall for her age.

I got the size small for my 4 year old and they came up barely over the knee. We just scrunched them down a tiny bit and they looked perfect.

yeah they are bit big, but its worth to buy and try out. If it fits you can use these for long time as they seem to be of good quality. Or you can use the elbow pads as the knee pads initially.

My son's knee measurement (over center of kneecap) was exactly the border between the large and X-large sizes. Since he has significant muscle, I went with the X-large. That worked well.Since everyone's legs are different, I imagine many will need to exchange in order to get a snug, but not restrictive fit.

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps. For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line.

They do have youth sizes. I think the X-small would be to big if they are the adult size.

I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40. The differnce with and withoutPads are huge on the mat. I have not wore pads under my gi so I can't speak to if they will hang on the cotton or not. I would guess they will be fine under gi. I know without the gi my shots are twice as fast with the pads and my knees are very happy. They are not as bulky as they look in the picture. I have 3 of my wrestlers wearing these and they love them. Measure your knee and get the right size. If you are borderline go for the smaller size. I think they have an extra small. If they are too big they will slide around. That is useless to you. Good luck and happy knees. I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40.

I don't use the sections for knee socks-I don't wear them. I would think they would fit it rolled tightly. If socks are really thick, put one sock in each section.

Probably. I put the elbow pads on my 2 year olds knees and they were even a little big. The knee pads went on my 5 year old and they were a little big as well. Also, they fell apart after 3 or 4 uses ... on both kids. Good luck.

I would say that these would work as well as anything else that would be out there and better than alot of other options. They are pretty close fitting. The whole things are basically neoprene and mesh on the back. There is no cap on them on the knees. The knee part is thicker neoprene. If anything would work in that respect I would think these would.good luck,Eoin

Should fit great! Fits my 12 year old but I had to get smaller shin guards. So the shin guards should be perfect. Other pieces should be fine as we'll.

Yes! My youngest daughter just turned 2 and she is still wearing these every day! They adjust really well. I was worried about her getting too big for them because she is in the 90th percentile with height and weight... But I don't even have to use the buttons further out. Just remember that they won't absorb all that great without leaking until they have been used and washed maybe a good seven times.
