Battle Sports XFAST Over-the-Cleat Ankle Support System - Large - Black

The Battle Sports XFAST (eXternal Functional Ankle Support Technology) is a one-of-a-kind, "over-the-cleat" ankle support system that nearly eliminates the most frequently occurring athletic injury, the sprained ankle. Current practices of ankle care for the athlete include bracing for the injured or taping for prevention. These practices restrict motion, considerably diminishing speed and agility. In addition, over-stabilization of the ankle can "transfer" the risk of injury to the athlete's knees or hips. Until now, there was always a compromise between performance and protection when it came to protecting the ankle. Battle Sports' cutting-edge technology allows for a normal, full active range of motion of the lower leg during play and engages its protective component only when the ankle enters a danger zone of unintended motion. After 20 years of research and development by a NCAA Division I Head Athletic Trainer, the XFAST is the only product of its kind that can serve as a normal piece of equipment to protect the healthy ankle and assist the injured ankle without immobilizing the joint complex. The XFAST fits most low and some mid-top cleats, however it may not fit some turf cleats. Features: Only bracing system that delivers maximum protection without sacrificing performance. Ultra-lightweight over-the-cleat design eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional internal bracing. Allows for a full active range of motion and engages its protective component only when ankle enters danger zone. Unlike traditional braces, the XFAST eliminates torque transfer to the knee and hip, greatly reducing the risk of knee and hip injury. Optimal performance with all low-profile cleats and most mids.
