Size (M) | Size (INCHES) | Revolutions |
2.0 | 79" | 3-4 |
2.5 | 98" | 4-5 |
3.0 | 118" | 6-7 |
2.0m - 79” - The most common size for all round support - general lifting, bodybuilding and entry level powerlifting.
2.5m - 98” - Suited to intermediate to advanced lifters, or those that simply have bigger legs requiring the extra revolution for additional support.
3.0m - 118” - For more advanced lifters - suited to those who have experience with knee wraps, and are looking for the greatest amount of support and rebound.
Recommendations are all ‘roughly speaking’ and personal preference does come into play. The length of the wrap determines how many revolutions you will get around your knee, and will depend on the aforementioned factors:
- How tight you wear your wraps
- The flexibility grade of the wrap (the stretchier the material, the more revolutions you will get)
- The circumference of your knee joint and size of your quads and calves (someone who has a bigger knee joint/quads is going to get less revolutions than someone with a smaller set of wheels)
Our Knee Wraps come in 5 Elasticity Grade deniers. The range starts at the most elasticated, through to the stiffest wrap. Stiffer does not necessarily mean better. It depends on the application.
Flexx: Stretchy and durable fabric. Entry level support.
Bolster: Good all-purpose wrap providing strong support under load while remaining comfortable.
Ironclad: Engineered for competitors. The right mixture of stiffness and flex for experienced lifters and designed for competitive powerlifters or advanced bodybuilders.
Brutal: Very rigid support. Suitable for bigger frames and legs, or those who simply prefer a stiff wrap.
Juggernaut: Very rigid maximal support. Suitable for bigger frames and legs. Not for the faint of heart! This strength level feels like you’re wrapping your knees with reinforced concrete.

Casually Trainer
Those who train casually and just want added support to the knee during a workout would do quite well with a Flexx or Bolster Wrap. They’re comfortable and very supportive. Bodybuilders and volume based lifters will do totally fine with the Bolster Wrap - it will cover all of your support needs.
Advanced Lifters
An Ironclad denier is suited for more advanced lifters, hauling heavier poundages and requiring more support. Competitive Powerlifters or advanced (stronger) Bodybuilders will find the stiffness of an Ironclad Wrap to provide the additional support required under load. This wrap is engineered for competition use and advanced support. The Ironclad range will cover 90% of lifters without a hitch.
Maximum Stiffness
Brutal and Juggernaut are our stiffest wraps, reserved for those really looking for a super stiff, rigid wrap for heavy poundage's and lower reps. These aren’t for everyone!
