Approved for use in USAPL, USPA, IPL and IPF
The IPF have removed the Rigor Mortis knee sleeves from the IPF Approved list effective from 18th August 2025. We are actively working to receive a response from the IPF as the IPF have reviewed and approved the Rigor Mortis knee sleeves for competition in October 2022 between the periods of 2023 through 2026. We are working diligently to address this concern. A7 stands committed to helping all Athletes and fight for their ability to have a choice in their equipment selections.
Flexi & Stiff knee sleeves are still approved. We will communicate any news as soon as we can.
