When hiking downhill, the knee is subjected to greater stress from additional forces than on flat terrain, which can lead to knee discomfort. With the outdoor Knee Support, you can stabilize and relieve pressure on your knee joint and patellar tendon.

• Allows you to apply additional pressure to the knee and patellar tendon via the adjustable strap as the load increases
• Athletes can adjust the support of the brace to their individual needs and the specific sporting situation

Features of the outdoor knee brace by Bauerfeind 

The outdoor Knee Support offers targeted stabilization and customized relief for your knee joint. It actively helps you fully enjoy your day in nature.

Enjoy nature to the fullest and rely on the support of the outdoor Knee Support.

Hiking isn’t just one step after another—it’s the pure passion of being out in nature and even climbing peaks. In the process, the knees are often put under heavy strain, especially when going downhill. The Omega Pad securely cradles the kneecap and distributes pressure. The Downhill Relief System provides additional relief. The adjustable strap system allows for customized support depending on the situation and challenge. This relief directly affects the patellar tendon and the front of the knee joint. You can precisely adjust the support, for example, tightening it more during descents than during ascents. The hiking knee brace is made of a compression knit with merino wool and enhances the joint’s depth perception. It also improves your proprioception. As a result, the outdoor knee brace relieves pressure on and stabilizes your knee.

Although the outdoor Knee Support hiking brace does so much, you can barely feel it on your knee. The high level of comfort is ensured by mulesing free merino wool and an anatomical fit that guarantees a perfect fit. Merino wool also offers excellent moisture and temperature regulation and has antibacterial properties. This makes it an ideal addition to your hiking gear.

The lightweight feel of the hiking knee brace remains consistent all day long, from morning to night. To ensure you can tackle many different adventures with our outdoor knee support, we utilize Core Yarn Technology. This special yarn technology combines the positive material properties of polyamide and merino wool, offering the ideal blend of durability and comfort.

Here’s how to determine the perfect fit for optimal effectiveness.

2. Find the center of the kneecap and draw a straight line from there to the outside of your knee
3. Measure the circumference 14 cm toward the upper body (A) and below the kneecap (B)
