Overview of the Rogue 7mm

 
The Rogue 7mm Sleeves are American made and approved by the IWF and IPF for open and raw competitions. These knee sleeves come in many different designs. With the Rogue Zeus function, you can even design your own pair with your own logo or loved ones. The main specifications of the Rogue 7mm sleeves are:
 
  • Made in the USA
  • Sold in Pairs
  • 7MM thick SBR/Neoprene blend
  • IPF and IWF Legal for Raw and Open Competition
These are versatile sleeves that come in 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm. If you want to make sure your equipment is made in America these are the ones to go for.
 

Sizing for the Rogue 7mm

 
The Rogue 7mm Knee sleeves are available in 5 different sizes. They are measured by your upper Claf circumference for the best fit:
 
  • XS 31 - 33 cm
  • S 33 - 35 cm
  • M 35 - 37 cm
  • L 37 - 40 cm
  • XL 40 - 43 cm
The Rogue knee sleeves are among the more forgiving knee sleeves when it comes to sizes. Other models like the ones from Mark Bell have a very tight fit, so you have to pay more attention when you are ordering. 
 

Pros of the 7mm Rogue Sleeves

 
The main pros of the Rogue 7mm knee sleeves are:
 
  • Wide arrange of designs
  • Wide range of approvals
  • American made
The Rogue 7mm knee sleeves are American made and deliver a wide arrange of designs and approvals. You might even say they are the best value for money in the market when you do not exactly know what you will use them for. These will work for weightlifting, powerlifting and also might be available in a flashy design of your choice.
 

Cons of the Rogue 7mm knee sleeves

 
The cons of the Rogue 7mm knee sleeves are:
 
  • Thickness
  • Stiffness
 
The Rogue 7mm knee sleeves might be too thick for some smaller athletes to get into. The smaller you are and the more mobile you want to be, the less suitable the 7mm thickness will be. Go to 5mm or even 3mm depending on your weight, build and exercises you want to do. 7mm is the thickest you can go and still get approvals from the IPF and IWF. 
 
What the rogue knee sleeves gain in design options, they lose in stiffness. Compared to the Mark Bell line up these sleeves might not be the tightest fit on the market. If you want to go full throttle on your one-repetition maximum attempts for the back squat the x Treme might be the better choice. 
 

Alternatives to the Rogue knee sleeve

 
Alternatives to the Rogue 7mm knee sleeve are
 
 
The 7mm Froning knee sleeves from Rehbandare very similar to the Rogue knee sleeves. They cost a little less as they are not American made and are sponsored by the fittest man on earth, Rich Froning. Apart from that the thickness and the material are very similar.
 
The Mark bell Xtreme knee sleeves will cost you a little more but are the better fit for one repetition maximum attempts on the squat. If your main goal is to bring your one-repetition maximum up, these are the better choice for powerlifters. Only if you are very small or prefer fast squats which demand more mobility in the knees, the Rogue sleeves might be a better option. 
 
The Dan bailey knee sleeves are another option if you want to go for a 5mm knee sleeve and still support a Crossfit athlete. There is also a Dan Bailey design shirtt in the Rogue line up. %mm knee sleeves are usually good all-around options. Especially if you want to run and lift in the same workout. 
 
 

Summary for the 7mm knee sleeves

 
If you are a weekend warrior who wants very stable knee sleeves which are still comfortable to wear and look cool, the Rogue 7mm knee sleeves are for you. They will not be a pain to get on and off, while also taking the game seriously.
