I use Titan knee sleeves, alot have ripped lately with a bad batch and I believe he was exchanging them?
Otherwise they insulate well and are comfortable to wear! Mine haven't ripped but all the others handed out at PTC ripped after a few workouts. Markos said the same thing and that it was all a bad batch.

Patella tendonitis from footy.
I bought a pair of Titan sleeves and, as Deep mentioned, they ripped after 4 sessions. I haven't yet received replacements (which will supposedly have the flaw fixed), so can't recommend them.
I think Owen at PTC uses TK sleeves and they look thicker (almost like rubber) than the Titans imo.

Not currently but have in the past.
Haha yeah. I have had it for like 5 years. I know knee sleeves don't protect against it. They just warm the area up so they don't hurt while squatting. I have tried pretty much everything. I have lost count of the number of physios who told me they could fix it no worries and failed.

Have you tried PRP?
Minimal effect but been on them for far too long.
Yep.

Where'd you have it done? Have you also taken a break from any exercise that stirs it up?
I had it really bad a while back (body weight squats hurt, couldn't even kneel on it) but its good now (not 100% but can squat heavy again)
When mine was at its worst I couldn't even get close to doing a BW squat. I had 2 years off footy and it got slightly better but never totally went away.
Yep. Pressure makes it feel better for squatting. I just want some heat and pressure from sleeves because I hate having to wrap my knees.

I can't really add much into this conversation but whenever I get tendinitis (usually in the whole upper arm and shoulder after front squats) I will take ibuprofen and aspirin in a 3:1 ratio 3x a day. I mega dose it as well, 1200mg ibuprofen and 400mg aspirin 3x a day. This pretty much removes it completely. The pain is gone instantly and it is not inflamed the next day. I would imagine that a few weeks of doing that as well as some voluminous low intensity squatting would reduce it significantly but I have no idea really. I guess it depends on if it's just inflammation or if it's trapped or pinching
