Best Ski Braces and Supports
Hit The Slopes with Bauerfeind
Protect your joints with Bauerfeind Braces and Supports
Whether you ski, skate or snowboard, winter sports can take a toll on your joints and an injury on the slopes or ice can bring your season to a screeching halt. Bracing your body with a quality, medical-grade support will help to stabilize your joints and protect you from painful tears and sprains.
Movements like banking and angulation put a lot of pressure on the knees, so it's no surprise that knee ligament pain accounts for about 1/3 of all skiing injuries. Bauerfeind's GenuTrain Knee Brace provides medical-grade compression in a brace so lightweight you'll forget you're wearing it.
