Description
Harris 9mm COMP Stiff Knee Sleeves
The Original 9mm Knee Sleeve. Built for Maximum Support.
Originally developed alongside some of the world's strongest powerlifters and strongman athletes, the Harris 9mm COMP Stiff Knee Sleeves set the benchmark for maximum-support knee sleeves. Designed for athletes who demand the highest levels of compression, stability, and durability, these sleeves continue to be the choice of serious strength competitors around the world.
Featuring a massive 9mm thickness and constructed using premium SCR neoprene, these sleeves deliver exceptional support during heavy squats, strongman events, and lower-body strength training. The increased neoprene thickness creates a highly supportive fit designed to improve stability and confidence under maximal loads.
Unlike lower-quality sleeves manufactured from cheaper SBR neoprene, Harris 9mm COMP Stiff Knee Sleeves utilise premium SCR neoprene for superior durability, comfort, resilience, and long-term performance.
Built with a highly durable outer layer and reinforced stitching throughout, these sleeves have been designed to withstand the demands of serious training and competition while maintaining their support and structure over time.
For athletes seeking maximum compression and support from a traditional knee sleeve design, the Harris 9mm COMP Stiff Knee Sleeves remain one of the most proven options available.

Just insane
By: Marcus ReidYou know when you throw these on it’s a serious day. Perfect for peak week lifts, and they’ve held up through hell and back.

They mean business
