Most people seem to like Evolutionize sleeves. I find them a little uncomfortable after about an hour, but I'm in the minority.
SBDs are excellent but more than 2x the price. Made well, comfortable.
I've been wearing knee sleeves by 'Pinnacle Flex' that I got on amazon years ago. No clue if they provide any stability for my knees, but they keep em warm and I like that. The last couple weeks they've been leaving indentions on my skin around my upper calves and lower thighs, which kind of hurt.
Need advice on what kind of sleeves I should consider that do something besides keep my knees warm, and fit properly. My upper calves just below my knee are 15.25" around, and my lower thigh 3" above my knee is about 19.5" around.
I think I've seen SBD knee sleeves mentioned around here, but they look a bit expensive. What's special about them?

Stoic/Evolutionize is great. I have two pairs. Got them for $40/pair on Amazon.
I have both the Evolutionize and the Strong ones, they are both great! Although the Evolutionize ones aren't allowed in any meet that I am doing in my area so I had to get the STrong ones.
Yeah no rehbands, this ain't crossfit!
I have rehband, Eleiko, & SBD knee sleeves. I don't even know why I wear knee sleeves. I swear to god they're the meathead-equivalent of my toddler's blankie. But I won't admit that. They're for "warmth" and "proprioception".
The SBDs are ridiculously well made. But maybe too well made (thick, hot, somewhat annoying to get on).
Rehbands are fine...what's up with the rehband hate?
Eleiko are also fine. I've beaten the living shit out of the Eleikos and have had no problems with durability.
I used these for a long time. They work fine, $25: Amazon.com: Schiek Wrist Wraps - Extra Long (Black) - New!: Sports & Outdoors
I have SBD flexible ones now... didn't need them really, but IPF approval and also an excuse to get new gear, so #yolo
I squat more with knee sleeves. That's reason enough. IDGAF why.
