Skiing Knee Braces

At Bauerfeind we are proud to provide skiing knee braces to winter Olympians for over 20 years. With their headquarters based just a couple of hours drive from some of Germany's best ski slopes, skiing isn't just in the engineering of the products, but in the everyday lives of the people who develop them. Whether it's an old ligament issue you're trying to protect, or a recent knee injury you're recovering from, wearing a knee brace for skiing can help to support and stabilise your knee while you're hitting the slopes.

When choosing a knee brace for skiing, at Bauerfeind we have developed a wide selection of supports from a simple knee strap for that pesky patella pain all the way to a full unloading stabiliser for even the most serious of ligament injuries.

Can I wear these all day or just when I exercise?

Most of our sports line is designed for wear during active movement rather than all day, while our main range (products ending in "Train" or "Loc") are better suited for injury management and all day wear, whether it's sports, exercise, work or just chores around the house. If you're unsure if the support you're looking at is ideal for all day wear, just contact our friendly staff.

Can I still move properly in these?

These supports are designed to allow for regular range of movement while stabilising the joint and preventing injury. This means you can confidently move in pivots, sudden changes of direction, jumps and landing as well as quick steps and positioning.

Will these overheat?

Bauerfeind's range of supports are made from an ultra-breathable cotton/elastic weave that's perfect for active use of any level. Clinically shown to vent heat more effectively than any other support, it's perfect for air-flow, temperature regulation and comfort.

How do I clean my knee brace?

Wash the compression braces on a gentle cycle, at a low temperature, and then allow them to air-dry. Ideally, the garments should be washed in a delicates wash-bag. Clothes dryers should be avoided as the high temperatures can damage the fabric and grade of compression. For hard braces, hand-wash in cool water and allow to air-dry. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.

How do I know they'll fit?

Will these change how I ski?

While any kind of brace or support will have an affect on your physical movement, it's in a positive sense. More stability in the joints and muscles, increased power with each movement and better balance mean that you'll move more effectively. It may take a little bit of adjustment with some supports that have rigid components, but long-term there should only be an improvement in your form.

How do these help me while I'm skiing?

Skiing can put a tremendous amount of stress and force on the knees, resulting in many issues with the ligaments and meniscus. By actively stabilising the joints while also supporting and activating the surrounding muscles, not only in the knees but other joints in the body, our supports should be part of any skier's gear bag.

Do I have to have an injury to wear these?

While there are a wide range of products to manage injury (the \"Train\" and \"Loc\" range), the sports line is perfect for helping you to get more out of each movement, not only enhancing your exercise for better results, but helping protect you from injury."}]}]}
