Bought Rehband knee sleeves from a vednor at the Oly lifting at the Arnold. Superior product in every way. i am a big fan of neopreme, i use compression shorts, and Nike elbow sleeves. i will be buying Rehband compression shorts.
Perfect for the older lifter trying to avoid injury. Used them today in gym and was very happy in all respects.

I've worn all types.
The Rehband are thicker, sewn together more solidly, and seem to have a higher quality outer covering. Awesome quality. Stay in place very well, if you size them correctly.
The Tommy Kono bands are, I've heard, basically wetsuit material. The Tommy Kono's will warm your knees up beyond what the Rehband will. I've got to emphasize that there will really make your knees sweat...like dripping down you legs and soaking your socks.
The regular knee sleeves you can get either at a sporting goods shop or the neoprene knee pads wrestlers wear will do the trick for most people, but they don't last as long. I'd go through 3-4 pair of the neoprene wrestling pads each season (Back in the late 80s)

My TKs came today. I was't scheduled to train but I was anxious to try them out(I have heard very good things about them both here and at my gym). I did the @fit Trophy case challengge #2, 21 thrusters with two dumbells totalling 1/2 of your bodyweight. It took ~ 1:00 to complete the challenge, I didn't break a sweat. Too early to tell anything about the kneebands.
Used my Rehband knee sleeves today for first time.

Excellent product, highly recommended
Only thing I'd suggest is buy two at same time ( they come as singles )
I bought mine from different suppliers and must have been a different batch as one is about 1cm bigger than the other.
