Rigor Mortis Sizing - Sizing down vs the sizing chart will not result in better performance. You may find that your quad, knee and calf all measure slightly different sizes vs the chart. If this is the case, the knee joint is the best measurement to choose, and if your calf or knee is larger than this measurement we recommend using our sizing calculator to guide your choice.

Hourglass Knee Sleeves feature an all new Patent Pending design with an hourglass-shaped centre taper fit to help provide centre knee compression while maintaining proper tightness around the calf and quad.

We offer the sleeve in our classic stiffness now called Flexi and Stiff that you have come to enjoy in our Cone Knee Sleeves.

The IPF will allow Athletes to continue using the Rigor Mortis Knee Sleeve at IPF competitions until 18th August 2025. The IPF currently states that after the 18th of August, Rigor Mortis will not be permitted in any events sanctioned by the IPF or its regional or national affiliates.
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.
Flexi & Stiff knee sleeves are still approved. We will communicate any news as soon as we can.
