Forum creeps I'm gonna get some Rehband original knee sleeves, I have 3 questions -

1. How long has it taken for you to get gear from Jackals gym?

2. Is the size chart on the website accurate?

3. Are they any better then TK sleeves?

1. 10-14 days I think.

2. I measured large and got small. The smalls are perfect. Go 1-2 sizes smaller. Probably 2.

3. Yep. Thicker, more durable, easier to get on and off.
 
As above. 1-2 weeks delivery, I sized down by 2, but only just (I was at the beginning of XL size and got M).

They were really tight (= a huge bitch to get on) initially but have bedded in well.
 
Thanks all who responded, set of smalls ordered.

Anyone point me to the best place to get a cheap softsuit?

EDIT: Never mind thanks for the responses guys

Dare I ask, Rehbands vs Titan knee sleeves (assuming durability issues with the Titans are now resolved)?

I already have TKs. They're ok but too big for me (tend to ride down) and bunch up quite a bit at the back of the knee I find.

No contest, rehbands are much better.

I got my first lot of titans which fell apart and where replaced. The replacements have ripped again after a couple of squat sessions. The rehbands still look new after about 6 months use.
 
My rehbands arrived today. I measured in the high side of medium and ordered small, luckily cause the small is perfect. I would recommend 2 sizes down if your competing in them.

Keep the knees very warm, provide a bit of bounce, not as much as the inzer style knee sleeves I was playing with but still definitely a bit of spring out of the hole. Jackals was bang on 2 weeks to deliver.
 
I'm borderline medium-large, so I ordered small. Looking forward to trying them out.

My TKs have served me well for 2 years but are getting tired and I want more support.
 
Got my Jackal's order. 1 week delivery - very pleased.

They even chucked in a copy of this month's Power magazine as well with Dan Green on the cover. Nice. Can't wait to try out the knee sleeves.
 
Oh shit, I got excited when I saw them for $38, until I realised that was per sleeve... Are they really that good or are the TK's better?
 
TKs are just a straight neoprene sleeve.

Rehbands are contoured (like a bent knee), have additional stiching front to back (as well as down the back), and have an absorbent lining over the neoprene. They also have a bit of stretch in them compared to the TKs. Am yet to try them but they look like they'll be easier to put on and won't bunchas much behind the knee. The lining also looks a lot comfortable. Much better quality all round.
 
plus if you lift ipf the only options now are titan, rehband, quest and metal. The quest ones are like TKs, the metal ones don't exist, titan ones are copies of the rehband ones. The original rehbands- the blue ones- are no longer made- so jackals is selling off the remaining stock. The originals are the best IMO.
