OverviewRAPTOR/2 SHORT is a professional knee support designed for skiing and snowboarding use. The shortened lower frame and anatomic front-rear construction allow compatibility with ski boots while providing frontal and sagittal joint stabilization. The 4-point dynamic leverage system reduces load on knee ligaments and lowers the risk of aggravating existing injuries.
Product descriptionThe brace uses an aircraft-grade aluminium 6061 T6 frame with a powder coating for moisture resistance. The shell is combined with Active3D™ thermoformed closed-cell waterproof fabric. The device includes five straps, anatomical 3D cushions and internal EVA foam lining covered with cotton and terry to limit migration and reduce skin irritation. The product is waterproof and has been tested in brine.
