If you are between sizes, size up for comfort or down for a firmer compression fit. | Size | Inches | Centimeters | | --- | --- | --- | | S | 10–12" | 25–30 cm | | M | 12–14" | 30–35 cm | | L | 14–16" | 35–41 cm | | XL | 16–18" | 41–46 cm | **Tip:** the size you pick applies to **both** compression sleeves in your Complete System (one to play in, one fresh while the other is in the wash). ## Complete System - Sizing at a Glance Your order ships as one 5-piece kit. Here's exactly how sizing maps to each item: | # | Item | Sizing | How to fit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Wrist Brace | One size - adjustable | Hook-and-loop closure dials in compression. Wrap OVER the top of the wrist (see Step 2 below). | | 2 | Anti-Vibration Forearm Brace | One size - adjustable | Hook-and-loop closure. Position the two silicone inserts over the extensor muscles (see Step 3). | | 3 | KT Tape (Kinesiology) | Cut to length - single use | Apply a 6–10" (15–25 cm) strip with ~25% stretch from forearm to just below the elbow. Replace per session. | | 4 | Compression Sleeve - Play Compression Sleeve | Bicep-based: S / M / L / XL | Wear-to-play sleeve in the size you selected at checkout. Snug but not restrictive. | | 5 | Compression Sleeve - Rotate Compression Sleeve | Same size as #4 | Identical sleeve so you always have a clean one ready while the other is in the wash. | Items **4 & 5** are the two compression sleeves - both ship in the bicep-based size you choose. Items **1, 2, & 3** are one-size-adjustable (or cut-to-length for KT tape). ## How to Correctly Fit Your Pickle Armor™ System Step 1 ### Pickle Armor™ Inner Sleeve Put on your Pickle Armor™ Inner Compression Sleeve and adjust for comfort. The sleeve should feel snug - firm but never restrictive. Step 2 - Important ### Pickle Armor™ Adjustable Wristband To fit the wristband correctly: - Put your thumb through the thumb hole - Wrap around your wrist going OVER your wrist first - Continue wrapping until firm but comfortable **DO NOT** wrap the wristband the opposite way - from underneath your hand. This reverses the support and reduces the shock-absorber effect. Step 3 - Most Important ### Pickle Armor™ Anti-Vibration Forearm Brace The Anti-Vibration Forearm Brace is the most important component of the system. The two silicone inserts, positioned correctly over your **Extensor muscles and tendons** (combined with the Adjustable Wristband), create a **shock absorber effect** that absorbs vibration before it reaches your elbow - the vibration that can cause pickle elbow. Take a little time to position the silicone inserts correctly. Practice hitting the pickleball, and adjust until it feels comfortable for you. ## Sizing FAQ Quick answers to the most common sizing and fit questions. Does one size fit both compression sleeves in the Complete System? + Yes. Your Complete System ships with two compression sleeves and both come in the bicep-based size you select at checkout (S, M, L, or XL). One is for play, one is your fresh rotation while the other is in the wash. How do I measure my bicep circumference for the right sleeve size? + Stand with your arm relaxed at your side. Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your bicep - keep the tape level (not angled) and snug but not compressing the skin. Match the result: S 10–12" (25–30 cm), M 12–14" (30–35 cm), L 14–16" (35–41 cm), XL 16–18" (41–46 cm). What if I am between two sizes? + If you land on an exact boundary (12, 14, or 16 inches), we recommend sizing up for all-day comfort. If you want a firmer, more athletic compression feel, size down. The interactive Size Finder on the product page makes a personalized recommendation for you. Do the wrist brace, forearm brace, and KT tape need sizing? + No. The wrist brace and anti-vibration forearm brace are one-size and use hook-and-loop closures so you can dial in compression to your arm. The KT tape is cut-to-length and applied fresh per session. Which way should I wrap the Pickle Armor wristband? + Put your thumb through the thumb hole and wrap over the top of your wrist first. Do not wrap from underneath - that reverses the support and reduces the shock-absorber effect. Where do the silicone inserts on the forearm brace go? + Position the two silicone inserts directly over the extensor muscles and tendons of your forearm. Combined with the wristband, this creates a shock-absorber effect that absorbs vibration before it reaches the elbow. Can I wear Pickle Armor on either arm? + Yes. The kit is fully symmetrical and works on left or right arms. Wear it on your paddle arm - the side delivering the strike and absorbing the most vibration. How tight should the compression sleeve feel? + Snug, supportive, and warm - but never restrictive, pinching, or tingly. If you notice numbness, color change in your hand, or pins-and-needles, the sleeve is too tight; size up. How should I care for the sleeves and braces? + Hand-wash the sleeves and braces in cold water with mild soap and air dry. Avoid the dryer - heat can degrade the gel inserts and the elastic compression panels. Still unsure?
