Product Details

RockTape Assassins Knee Protection Sleeves

Anyone who lifts heavy weights knows that making sure your knees are stable while lifting is essential to maintaining joint health, and making gains. RockTape Assassins Knee Protection Sleeves are specifically designed to provide warmth, compression and lateral stability to your knees when performing functional movements such as deadlifts, squats and pistols. This helps improve your confidence when lifting and also prevents injuries from occurring.

Designed for Performance and VMO Stabilisation

The VMO, or Vastus Medialis Oblique, is one of the four quadricep muscles, and is the primary muscle used to stabilise your patella (kneecap) during the extensions and retractions that take place during exercises involving the leg. Unlike other knee supports, RockTape Assassins Knee Protection Sleeves are 'extra tall', so they compress the VMO at its insertion point above the patella, to ensure proper stability and tracking. RockTape Assassins also provide much needed compression and warmth to promote blood flow, another crucial element to the health of your knees while lifting. 

Built for Competition

These knee sleeves were designed with the unique needs of athletes in mind, and unlike other knee protection products, are much more than just a re-purposed medical knee support. Fine-tuned through years of feedback from top CrossFit Games athletes, like World Champion Jason Khalipa, these knee supports are truly the ultimate in performance knee protection. Suitable for even the most gruelling workouts, RockTape Assassins will stand up to any abuse you throw at them, and will let you exercise with more confidence than ever before.

5mm vs. 7mm Thickness

RockTape Assassins Knee Protection Sleeves are available in two different thicknesses: 5mm and 7mm. The crucial factor to consider when choosing your thickness is the level of support you require. If you need a knee support with more compression, warmth and stiffness, go for the 7mm; if you're looking for a more flexible, lightweight knee support, the 5mm version will suit you better.

Sizing of Rocktape Assassins

To determine size, please measure the circumference of your leg around the centre of your patella (kneecap) and match your results to the table below. Assassins start very snug and take a few uses to break in. If you measure on the higher end of a size, we recommend that you order the next size up.

Small 10.5 - 12.5"
Medium 12.5 - 13.5"
