Update:So I just got back from my workout. I did Clean and Jerks from blocks, bar just below my knee, and I did back squats.From an aesthetic point of view, I like them.Now for lifting. They were tighter, but in a good way. The top didn't slide down as much. Hardly noticeable and never down by the knee where it would matter. It felt fine doing Cleans and Squatting. I had two issues, one of which is minor. One is that you can sort of feel the stitching on the inside, which wasn't a big deal. I only felt it if i had to readjust the sleeve. But in other reviews I read it bothered people. Maybe if you do a lot of high rep squatting I could see it being an issue, but with the sleeve being tight, it doesn't move around so I personally don't care.The issue I really had was the the top of the sleeve catches the bar just a bit on my cleans.The thick blue lip at the top. I could hear when I did my cleans. I don't have that issue with the rehbands. If that lip wasn't there, I would say hands down this is a better buy than the rehbands, but I have to feel like that little catch, in my head, slowed down the bar a tiny bit. Just hearing it kinda threw me off. Maybe it's my form, I don't know, but that little lip is just below where I would normally initiate my second pull.Edit: I'm going to see if i can tape or glue it down a bit.
