I have a pair of knee wraps I purchased about a year ago. Now, however, they dont’ feel as stiff. I feel I can wrap them tighter with more revelations, but I also feel like I can move more. Do they go bad / do you ever replace them?
They can definitely lose their elasticity just from usage, like any other fabrics placed under stress they can stretch. Doesn’t mean they have lost effectiveness though

Knee wraps will wear out over time. A lot of people keep one pair for meets and then use a different pair for training, or just continue to use their older pair for training and purchase new ones specifically for meets and maybe a couple of reps leading up to a contest.
There are a lot of variables on how long they last including how tightly they are wrapped, how often they are used, the wraps themselves, etc.
Thanks guys.
First, I want to apologize for the title. I put in quotes and it removed the text, so the title is misleading.
I purchased another pair for meets and PR attempts, thanks. I’ll break em in for a couple weeks, then to the bag they go.
