Protection & support for downhill skiing – stay stable, warm and safe on the slopes

Here you will find support and protection for downhill skiing. Prevent knee injuries, wrist injuries, and pain when skiing and snow activities.

Downhill skiing places high demands on the body – especially on the knees, wrists, and thumbs. When falling or twisting at high speed, there is a high risk of ligament damage, cruciate ligament damage and sprains. The knee joint is often exposed to high torques when the skier cuts the slope incorrectly, and the thumb ligament can be damaged if the pole gets stuck in a fall.

At Rehaboteket, you will find orthopaedic protection and supports that provide stability, relief and security on the slopes. Our knee pads, wrist supports, and thumb guards are developed to reduce the risk of injuries and provide support during recovery from an injury – so you can focus on skiing with increased control and safety.
