Reduced rubbing and pain, thanks to 4mm soft gel pads
Gel pads measure 4mm (0.16in) and are made from a high-elastic soft material that absorbs pressure and spreads contact forces across the malleolar area. The pads are sewn or bonded into the sleeve so they remain positioned over the ankle bone during movement.
Cushioning noticeably lowers hotspots caused by stiff skate or ski boots, helping prevent pressure sores and easing discomfort during extended sessions.
Breathable, comfortable fit, with silicone elastic fabric
An elastic, moisture-wicking fabric with silicone elements offers light compression that holds pads in place while allowing airflow. The fabric’s wear resistance supports repeated use under boots and skates.
Light compression keeps the protector securely positioned without cutting off circulation, making long practices or hikes more comfortable.
Versatile and reusable protection, with one-size design
Each pack contains two pairs of unisex sleeves in a one-size-fits-most shape measuring 19.5 x 8.5cm (7.7 x 3.4in). The sleeves are hand washable for repeated use and can be worn with or without socks.
Able to be shared among family members or used under splints and braces, the sleeves suit skating, hockey, skiing, hiking and any situation where boots cause friction.
