Hourglass Knee Sleeves - Emerald Forás

Strength is the foundation on which we build our path to new beginnings. As we lift weights to build our bodies, we also lift our spirits towards better health and vitality. Demanding Greatness is a journey of self-discovery, finding the inner strength to embrace new opportunities, ignite your vitality, and fuel your aspirations with A7's Emerald Forás.

Hourglass Knee Support Sleeves for squats feature an all new Patent Pending design with an hourglass-shaped center taper fit to help provide center knee compression while maintaining proper tightness around the calf and quad. Now offered in three unique stiffnesses (Flexi, Stiff and Rigor Mortis) to meet your desired compression both on and off the platform.

We offer the sleeve in our classic stiffness now called Flexi and Stiff that you have come to enjoy in our Cone Knee Sleeves. Hourglass Knee Sleeves also introduce a new level of stiffness called Rigor Mortis which offer a level of stiffness, density, and squeeze in the calf, quad, and center knee joint unlike any sleeve before.

Hourglass Knee Sleeves - Emerald Forás feature:

• Double seams along the back to keep greater tension on the knee joint
• 7mm thickness (maximum allowable in most powerlifting federations)
• 30 cm length (maximum allowable in most powerlifting federations)
• Hourglass-shaped center taper fit, which applies greater tension at the knee joint
• Made with high quality neoprene and other materials
• Available in three stiffnesses: Flexi, Stiff, Rigor Mortis
• Comes in a convenient mesh bag
• Sold as a pair
• Rigor Mortis version features the stiffest and most dense neoprene
• USPA, IPL & IPF Approved and compliant with USAPL standards for competition

The IPF has revoked their approval of the Rigor Mortis knee sleeve as of April 7th 2025. 
We are actively working to receive a response from the IPF as the IPF have reviewed and approved the Rigor Mortis knee sleeves for competition in October 2022 between the periods of 2023 through 2026. We are working diligently to address this concern. A7 stands committed to helping all Athletes and fight for their ability to have a choice in their equipment selections.
