The athlete swag is half of the excitement in Carson, and this year's loot included the Limited Edition knee sleeves by Rehband.

The knee sleeves are essentially the exact same product most fitness enthusiasts are familiar with. They're the same product, but include the Games logo and come in a few new styles- black and white, black and gold, and teal.

The sleeves are part of the Rehband Rx line, designed specifically for fitness, but most have probably come across them at Weightlifting, Powerlifting, and Strongman competitions alike.

After putting them through some workouts, what is there to say? If you were fond of their knee sleeves before, these ones will be no different. The limited edition knee sleeves have the same support and flexibility as their other 5mm and 7mm friends, and are conducive to all kinds of movement like we've come to know and expect from the company.

The price point is roughly the same between the two. Some stores offer slight discounts on the older editions, but the difference is normally a few dollars between the two.

The Limited Edition sleeves do appear slightly longer in length than the original, but nothing obstructing from familiar or common movements.

At the end of the day, the Limited Edition knee sleeves are the same product most are familiar with, just with a logo added and some cool new colorways.

About Rehband: The heritage and brand recognition of Rehband comes from Strongman and Weightlifting, but it was in 2012 when they entered the fitness market with Camille Leblanc-Bazinet. She was familiar with their products, offered them feedback, and became an ambassador for the brand. Soon after, Rich Froning and Josh Bridges got on the train, and as of the week before the 2016 Games, Annie Thorisdottir became part of the family too.
