Stabilizes and Relieves the Knee Joint During Outdoor Activities

Bauerfeind Sports, the sports line of Bauerfeind, designed this knee support for the outdoor sports market based on its many years of expertise in the development and production of medical braces.

The Outdoor Knee Support is an innovative outdoor support ‘Made in Germany’. For the first time, it combines the benefits of merino wool and a flat knit support with functional elements. The knee support stabilizes the knee and relieves the patellar tendon, thanks to a combination of Merino Compression Knit, Omega Pad, and a strap, also known as the Downhill Relief System. The individually adjustable Downhill Relief System allows the exertion of additional relief on the knee and the patellar tendon when subjected to increased strain. In this way, athletes can adjust the effectiveness of the support individually to their needs and sporting activity. The anatomically contoured Omega Pad encloses the kneecap and, together with the compression knit, ensures efficient pressure distribution. Integrated lateral stays guarantee the support’s perfect fit and make donning and doffing easier.
Thanks to the anatomical fit and high level of elasticity, the Outdoor Knee Support’s Merino Compression Knit perfectly adapts to the joint and remains securely in position during dynamic movements.

Bauerfeind Sports relies on the Core Yarn Technology for the construction of the knitted fabric: the core of the yarn consists of merino wool, which is wrapped in durable polyamide 6.6. Polyamide 6.6 is particularly abrasion-resistant and guarantees the longevity of the product. On the one hand, merino wool offers excellent heat and moisture regulation by actively absorbing moisture from the body and wicking it away. On the other hand, its special surface structure ensures a high level of wearing comfort for the whole day, with an antibacterial effect.

Bauerfeind Sports used its extensive expertise in the area of medical compression to develop the Outdoor Knee Support. As a medical product, the Outdoor Knee Support is subject to comprehensive quality management for development and production. This includes regular testing of the compression levels as well as wearing tests to confirm the effectiveness, comfort and perfect fit of the knitted fabric in length and circumference.

The unisex brace is manufactured in Germany in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. The undyed merino wool is mulesing-free.
