Vulcan Hinged Knee Support
Main features
Do you ever feel like lifting weights or just walking is a difficult task? No worries, because Vulcan Classic knee-supporting brace can make it all at least a little bit more bearable. First, it’s essential to select the correct size. If your knee brace is too big or too small, it could either do more harm than good or not do much at all. Once that’s out of the way, securely place the knee sleeve on. The open patella area should be directly on your kneecap for ultimate support. When properly placed, the Vulcan knee sleeve will relieve the pressure on your knees and kneecap and might even alleviate the pain or discomfort related to injuries, knee instability, or arthritis. This brace has hinges that allow the knee to straighten up more quickly and relieve some of the pressure that would otherwise wholly fall to your knees.
Design and Comfort
Vulcan Classic knee sleeve is made of three layers of aerothermal material. The outer layer is made of tough nylon fabric, made to be wear-resistant, firm, and stable. The middle layer is thick neoprene that insulates the heat so that your knee is constantly warm. That’s important because warm knees tend to relax more, produce more joint fluid, and are less prone to pain and injuries. Finally, the innermost layer is soft and light, allowing the air to flow naturally to the skin, so sweat and dirt won’t clog it. Vulcan knee brace is also available in four sizes, so they should fit most users.
🦵 Value
Overall, the Vulcan Classic knee sleeve is not a bad choice. It’s certainly effective when alleviating pressure and is made of high-quality materials. However, it’s pretty thick, so it could only be worn under really loose trousers or with shorts. Another issue is the maintenance – Vulcan is hand wash only, cannot be cleaned with 40-degrees+ water, and cannot be tumble dried. So, if you intend to exercise intensely, you might not want a sleeve that would need to be regularly washed by hand.
