I have been a loyal Rehband user for years but everyone at my gym in Ottawa is switching to SBD. I am trying to do a rehband vs sbd knee sleeves comparison to see if the upgrade is worth it. I do a lot of CrossFit style workouts so I need something that I can wear for both squats and box jumps.

The Rehbands are very comfortable and have great longevity but I feel like the SBD sleeves provide much more actual support. However I am worried that the SBD sleeves might be too stiff for movements like running or double unders. The 7mm thickness seems like a lot for high rep work.

Has anyone used both for functional fitness? I do not want to be taking my sleeves on and off five times during a workout. If you have a preference for one over the other please let me know which one holds up better for high intensity training.
