Triple Layer Construction with Aerotherm Technology
The Vulkan Classic 3041 Knee Support is designed to provide the therapeutic properties of heat retention offered by neoprene, while promoting air flow. It consists of three layers that deliver maximum support and comfort:
- Protective top layer: the tough nylon fabric is Mauser stitched along key points to provide the strongest possible seam.
- Neoprene core: the closed cell neoprene core insulates and retains body heat for natural heat therapy.
- Aerotherm lining: the construction of the lining allows air to circulate freely, helping to draw perspiration away from the skin.
How Comfortable is the Vulkan Classic Knee Support?
The triple-layer construction gives the Vulkan Classic a soft, spongy quality that is incredibly comfortable. Although it may seem quite thick at first, the special outer lining helps wick moisture away from the body to prevent overheating and stuffiness. And thanks to its tight, contoured fit, the brace delivers effective compression precisely where it needs to.
