    I have tried a lot of one make from neoprean but with sweat and heat they all slip. I tried ones called Kipsta they are make for volley ball and are by far the best I use and are cheap here is a link

    Are those made entirely out of neoprean? Does that give some advantage over ones that are made out of stretchy material with a padding insert?

    I have rucanor smash IIs. They were the first pair I found when I went into the shop and they do the job, but I'm not crazy about them. I only wear them if I have a bruised knee. Also, under a gi they're fine, but I think they'd get pushed out of place fairly easily in no-gi.

    They are not neoprean, they are make of a dense weave mix and the shape is curved to suit the bend in the leg. There are 3 different form pieces in the construction and they slide well on the mat sometimes the neoprean can be too grippy and twik the knee.
    anyways I found them to be well designed
