Which Sleeve Types Do We Manufacture?

A thinner sleeve that moves freely, popular with weightlifting and functional fitness customers. View the 5mm knee sleeves.
The thickest common sleeve, with firm compression for heavy squat days and big lifters. Read about our 7mm knee sleeves.

Matching elbow sleeves use the same neoprene, and thinner running sleeves are made to your specification.
Which Sleeve Materials and Builds Can You Choose?
For every Oath and Oak build, the neoprene type and thickness decide how firm a sleeve feels, how far it stretches and how warm it runs.
| Material | Behavior | What to Specify |
|---|---|---|
| Neoprene (CR) | Firm, holds its shape, traps heat | Thickness and density |
| SBR or neoprene blend | More stretch and mobility | Blend and thickness |
| Nylon jersey facing | Durable outer and inner surface | Facing color |
| Silicone grip print | Helps the sleeve stay in place | Print pattern |
| Binding tape | Finishes both open edges | Tape color |
Panels are joined with stitched and bonded seams, placed so they sit comfortably behind the knee when the lifter is deep in a squat.
Which Specifications Can You Set for Your Sleeves?
| Specification | Options We Produce |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 3mm, 5mm or 7mm |
| Length | Competition-legal or longer lengths, to order |
| Sizes | XS to XXL |
| Fit | Standard or competition-tight |
| Construction | Single-ply neoprene with a fabric facing |
| Colors | Solid, two-tone or printed |
Sizes and lengths outside this table are graded from your own size chart during sampling.
How Can You Brand Custom Knee Sleeves?
A sleeve shows its logo on the front and side panels, so we place branding where it stays readable when the neoprene stretches over the knee. The full list of methods is on our customization page.
| Branding Element | Methods |
|---|---|
| Logo | Screen print, silicone print, heat transfer or embossed print |
| Colors | Neoprene and facing colors |
| Binding | Contrast or matching edge tape |
| Size marks | Printed size on the inner face |
| Packaging | Paired polybag, retail box, FNSKU or UPC label |

What Happens Between Your Sleeve Brief and Delivery?
1. Brief and Size Chart
Share the thickness, length, sizing and colors you want, plus a quantity estimate, and we write the sleeve specification.
2. Sampling and Fit Testing
Sample sleeves are made in your key sizes so you can check compression, length and seam comfort on real knees.
3. Cutting and Seaming
Neoprene is cut to graded patterns, joined into cylinders and edge bound, then each lot is checked against the sample.
4. Pairing and Shipping
Sleeves are paired by size, packed with your labels and barcodes, and shipped to you by air or sea freight.
New sleeve designs follow our product development and sampling process.
What Do We Check Before Your Sleeves Ship?
Each lot is compared with your approved sample, and our quality control process covers every production stage.
- Thickness and length against the specification
- Circumference graded correctly for each size
- Seam strength and bonding along the full length
- Binding finish and print position
- Pairing by size and label accuracy
What Affects MOQ and Lead Time for Sleeve Orders?
MOQ and production timing are confirmed in your quote once the sleeve is specified.
| Factor | How It Affects Your Order |
|---|---|
| Thickness | Each neoprene thickness is cut and sewn as its own run |
| Size spread | More sizes per color raise the quantity needed per style |
| Colors | Custom neoprene colors may need their own material order |
| Branding | Printed and embossed logos add setup before sewing |
Include your size split, colors and target date so the quote covers the full order.
5mm or 7mm Sleeves: Which Suits Your Customers?
Thickness drives the difference in support, flexibility and how restrictive a sleeve feels.
| Feature | 5mm | 7mm |
|---|---|---|
| Support | Moderate | Most compression and joint support |
| Mobility | Moves freely | More restrictive |
| Typical lifts | Olympic lifts, CrossFit and high reps | Heavy squats and powerlifting |
| Customer | Functional fitness and weightlifting | Powerlifters and larger lifters |
| Putting on | Easier | Tighter to pull on |
Many brands launch with weightlifting knee sleeves in 5mm and add the thicker option for powerlifting customers.
How Do You Request a Quote for Knee Sleeves?
Send the thickness, sizes and colors you want, your logo file and an estimated quantity per size. A sleeve you already sell can be sent to us for matching.
What Else Do Buyers Ask About Sleeve Orders?
Still have a question?
Send your product details for a quote, or reach Oath and Oak through the contact page.
What should I look for in a knee sleeves manufacturer?
Check seams on a sample after repeated pulling on and off, confirm thickness with calipers and make sure each size is graded consistently. Neoprene grade and seam quality decide how long sleeves last.
How should customers measure for sleeves?
Measure around the center of the kneecap with the leg straight and relaxed, ideally before training. If the calf is larger than the knee, sizing up usually fits better.
Can sleeves meet IPF competition rules?
Yes. We can build single-ply neoprene sleeves within the IPF limits of 7 mm thickness and 30 cm length, with no straps or padding. Competition use also requires your brand on the IPF Approved List.
Are sleeves sold in pairs or singles?
Both. Many lifting brands sell pairs, while some sell single sleeves so customers with different knee sizes can buy two sizes. We pack to whichever format you sell.
How should customers wash neoprene sleeves?
Follow the care method you choose for your label. Many brands advise hand washing and air drying, while some allow machine washing, so we print your approved instructions on the tag.
Can neoprene irritate some customers' skin?
Some people react to neoprene. A fabric facing on the inner side and a clear material note on your listing help those customers choose, and we can add that facing to any sleeve.
