Why Caravanners & Campers are Raving About Buff Roo Knee Sleeves
When it comes to setting up camp or unhitching the van, our knees can cop it! That’s why we were pumped when our mate Andrew from Sydney – founder of Buff Roo Knee Sleeves – wanted to share why so many caravanners and campers are loving his unique, Aussie-designed knee sleeves. Whether you’re rolling out the awning, gathering firewood or chasing after the kids, these sleeves are all about comfort, protection, and making life on the road that little bit easier
The Best Knee Sleeves for Life on the Road (No Shoe Removal Needed)
If you’re the kind of Aussie who loves a caravan trip, a good hike, or just living life on the move, your knees probably cop it more than you realise. Caravanning isn’t just sitting in camp chairs with a cuppa. It’s steps, steep climbs, unsteady ground, setting up awnings, and constantly hopping in and out of tight spaces. And if you’re hiking? Add elevation, rocky terrain, and sudden climbs into the mix.
Here’s where our Buff Roo Knee Sleeves come in – and why they’re not just for the gym.
Built for Movement, Ready in Seconds!
Our sleeves aren’t the old-school struggle sleeves. No more trying to rip a sweaty tube over your calf and fighting it into place.
Buff Roo’s Velcro Lock System means:
- You can pull them from your daypack and throw them on in under 8 seconds.
- No need to take your shoes off.
- Adjust the fit on the fly — tighter for steep climbs, looser for flatter trails.
It’s knee support that travels with you, not holds you back.
Why Travellers Love Them:
We’ve had hikers, grey nomads, and weekend warriors write in saying these sleeves saved their knees on big days.
Common scenarios:
- Climbing steep trail steps? Quick support boost before the climb.
- Uneven caravan park terrain? Reduce joint shock and help with stability.
- Hiking downhill? Protect those knees on the descent.
- Post-hike stiffness? Keep them on for 20 mins post-trek for recovery compression.
- Easy to Carry, Easy to Use:
- Convenient: Leave your shoes on and put on in seconds.
- Lightweight: Toss them in a backpack, glove box or caravan drawer.
- Flat-folding: Takes up less space than a spare t shirt.
- Fast-drying neoprene: If they get damp, they’ll be good to go again soon.
Who They’re Perfect For:
- Caravaners in their 40s, 50s and beyond who still love being active
- Hikers who hit both flat and steep terrain
- Travellers managing older knees, injuries, or stiffness
- Anyone who wants peace of mind with portable knee protection
Don’t Just Take It From Us:
“Used these while doing the Kings Canyon Rim Walk. Slipped them on halfway when the knees started feeling it — instant relief.”
— Mark, 62, South Australia
“I keep mine in the glovebox of the 4WD. Anytime we stop for a walk with a steep grade, I chuck them on. Love not having to remove my boots.”

“I’m not a gym guy, but I’m not ready to stop exploring either. These sleeves are part of the kit now — same as water and sunscreen.”
