A compression sleeve isn't a hinged brace. Instead, it holds the area firmly and keeps it warm, which many athletes like for squats, sprints and long practices. In addition, the fabric wicks sweat so the sleeve stays comfortable. They're made in the USA and Berry compliant.

Why for lacrosse? Knees take a pounding from cuts, slides and ground balls. A thin sleeve also adds a layer against turf burn, and it fits under shorts without getting in the way.

Compression sleeves are not a medical device; see a doctor or athletic trainer for any knee injury. Stringers Lacrosse Shop ships every order from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
