The Straight Cuff is the most aggressive fit in our V3 range: maximum compression for lifters who want their knees locked in. Here is who it suits and how to size it.
What They Are
The V3 7mm Straight Cuff Knee Sleeves are a 7mm neoprene sleeve with a straight cuff design that creates a tighter, more supportive, competition-style fit. They are built for maximum compression, strong rebound at the bottom of the lift and reinforced stitching for heavy use.
They come with a choice of stitching: a single back seam or two side seams. Both use the same neoprene and sizing, so it comes down to personal preference.
Who They Are For
- Powerlifters and strength athletes
- Lifters whose week is built around heavy squats
- Anyone who wants the tightest, most supportive fit in the V3 range
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Want a heavy sleeve that is comfortable for whole sessions? The contoured V3 7mm is our all-rounder.
- Want even more stiffness? Look at the Stiff Knee Sleeves PRO.

How to Size Them
- Where to measure: 8cm below the middle of the kneecap, knee slightly bent
- Sizes: S to 4XL
- Between sizes? Size up.
The Straight Cuff does not come in XS. If you measure into the XS range, go for the contoured V3 7mm instead.
Looking After Them
Take them off after training, hand wash cold and air dry away from direct heat.
