I am doing a stoic knee sleeves vs sbd sizing and comfort review after using both for my strongman training. I found that the Stoic sleeves are actually a bit tighter and more rigid than the SBDs of the same size. I had to struggle quite a bit more to get the Stoics on but once they were on they felt like stone.

The comfort on the SBDs is slightly better for long sessions but for a max effort squat I think the Stoics provide more actual support. I am in Vancouver and I have noticed that the Stoic material seems to hold up well against the rough knurling of an axle bar.

Which one do you find more reliable for heavy training? I am trying to decide which pair to use for my next competition. If you have had sizing issues with either brand please let me know. I want to make sure I am giving the best advice to the guys at my gym.
