SBD Apparel Reviews 

Terrible company to work for ! I wasted over a decade with this company and for what ? To be forced out ! I was basically forced to work with a terrible team leader ! And after all the years and experience I have they couldn't put me on another team ! But seem to move other staff around teams when it suits them ! Please don't waste your time working here you will be disappointed in the end.

This company sucks. Use courier who just left my order on front doorstep that anyone could have taken then if they had I bet they’d just keep your money.

Ordered a size M, and they sent Large sleeves in a Medium Pack

Rude customer service and I ended up paying for the shipping back myself with no reimbursement/collection.

I placed an order for a belt on the SBD USA website on June 2nd, with an estimated delivery time of 3 to 6 business days. However, the order was not even shipped until June 11th, with no notice or explanation for the delay.

As a result of this excessive delay, I was no longer at the delivery address when the item finally shipped. I never received the package, and SBD refuses to issue a refund.

This is completely unacceptable, especially from a company that claims to be professional and reliable.

I’m extremely disappointed with this experience and strongly advise against ordering from their US site.

I contacted sbd yesterday to inform them my buckle had broken on my sbd belt whilst training and with In 24hrs I had a email telling me a new buckle was on its way at no extra cost. Tim the sbd employee I was dealing with was fantastic very helpful and would 100%recommend using sbd to anyone in strength sports

I bought an SBD elbow sleeves from them a little over a year ago. And I sent them a picture of the stiches that came completely apart. The response that I got back from them was unfortunately the quality control inspection was missed and the product they sold me was defective. Sorry but you're out of warranty and we cant help you.

I sent the person a picture of a company ELEMENT 26 that gives A LIFETIME WARRANTY. And on their website it tells the consumer the WARRANTY tells you the QUALITY of the PRODUCT and I found out the hard way. I could of bought ELEMENT 26 ELBOW SLEEVES for HALF THE PRICE.

Also I have read in other reviews on SBD that they had the same situation. A little bit after a year of using them the stiching was coming apart plus other serious issues with the elbow sleeves tearing. He contacted SBD via email and he experienced the same thing with them. Hes out of warranty and they couldn't help him and left him high and dry.

So finally since I know alot of power lifters at the gym because I'm power lifter myself I started paying attention to their workout gear specifically elbow sleeves. Well I saw one holding what looks like an elbow sleeve in his hands with the SBD logo on it. And I told him I have SBD elbow sleeves and the stiches came apart a little bit after the year and SBD told me sorry your out of warranty.

He told me these are SBD's and YES the stiching is coming apart. And I asked him how long have you had them and he told me a little less than a year. I then showed him my elbow sleeves with the stiching coming apart and he was really upset. I told him you need to buy from other reputable companies with a longer or lifetime warranty.

I wish I could post pictures of my damaged elbow sleeves but this review platform doesn't allow it. But moving forward I will be talking to all my friends at the gym that need workout gear and letting them know not to buy from SBD.

Bought the SBD Belt and Knee Sleeves and both are fantastic quality. I can see these lasting for years and probably decades they are so strong and well made. When they arrived the belt was the wrong size but when I contacted SBD they quickly went through the process to return and shipped out the correct size by DHL Express, keeping me updated about the progress of the new belt and confirming receipt of the one sent back. They also cover postage for the return. Would highly recommend SBD for their products and very helpful and prompt customer service.

Like SBD need any introduction, that may be their issue. Just because you are at the top, doesn't mean you should stop trying because other companies will creep up on you...shhh ST, cereberus, mobility tools.

Now, the knee sleeves have been bullet proof. I have had them 5 years With zero stitching issues, they have not stretched or 'given' in any way. Ok, they have ripped..my own doing so now I'm in the market which brings me to it. Their customer service isn't great, in an expressive world the designs are boring. So I'd tou want the current best....these are the sleeves but.....others are creeping up.

Purchased a pair of SBD elbow sleeves last year. I like the tapered shape and appreciate that the product is made in Great Britain. After 3-4 months the stitching came loose on one of the sleeves. After 14 months the internal neoprene tore and the nylon shell pulled away from the seam on the other sleeve. I expected a longer lifespan, but this is a typical stress failure. My intent was to order a new pair. First, though, I wanted to know if the company had updated the design or could reinforce the material for better durability. Rather than address my questions, the customer service rep gave a scripted response that my prior purchase was out of warranty and therefore they would not cover the cost of replacement. Huh? When I asked for a specific answer to my product questions, the reply was, "with proper care, we would not expect this issue to arise again". So, a product made from neoprene and nylon should never fail under repetitive loading? Companies usually offer different products with increasing levels of functionality at higher price points (e.g. integrated velcro straps for additional, adjustable support). By contrast, SBD sells a mid-level product at a high price point, and then offers alternative colorways for an additional premium. Several other competitors exist; why support a company that has no interest in improving its products?
