- MCDAVID - LIGHT ANKLE BRACE WITH FIGURE-S STRAP
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ANKLE BRACE
It is a complex, but relatively stable joint - until the foot is raised on the toes. Approximately 80% of ankle injuries involve stretching or teraing the anterior talofibular ligament. This injury commonly ccurs with the foot in plantar flexion (on the toes) while the ankle rolls outward. This is called an inversion sprain. Ankle supports and braces have been shown to support the ankle and help prevent or reduce the severity of this common problem.
Studies have shown that McDavid Ankle Supports and Braces are not only better than tape, but the best ankle protection available today. That is why McDavid is the most widely used brand among major colleges and universities.
Additional benefits of McDavid include:
- Features an ultralight nylon shell with fully adjustable figure-8 straps to simulate athletic tape
- Straps can be tightened at any time without re-lacing the brace
- Includes a padded lining, notched front, elastic heel and tongue
- Fits either ankle

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY
HydraVent hDcTM Moisture Management Technology
Athletic apparel that wicks moisture keeping you cool and comfortable
Benefits:
- Stay cooler in warm environments
- Stay warmer in cool environments
- Pulls sweat away from the skin for quicker evaporation
- More stamina and better hydration
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Can be used for any sport, in any season
The Science Behind HydraVent hDcTM
1. McDavid HydraVent hDcTM starts with a patented process that permanently bonds hydrophilic (water-attracting) molecules to mid-weight and heavyweight synthetic fiber surfaces. This ensures that the performance of HydraVent hDcTM remains intact even after numerous washings unlike any other moisture transport technology currently available. (See care instructions for details.)
2. As you exercise, your body produces perspiration to cool itself. In warm conditions, this perspiration condenses on your skin and builds up heat. (And discomfort.)
3. Moisture is pulled away from the skin by the wicking ability of HydraVent hDcTM . Your skin remains cooler and drier, and your body's temperature management system can do its job more effectively.
4. Once the fabric absorbs the moisture, it is spread rapidly across a broader surface area for faster evaporation. It is this evaporation which draws heat out of the body.
5. Once the moisture is one molecule thick, HydraVent hDcTM starts its drying process, allowing for a consistent and rapid moisture transport ability over a long use time. McDavid HydraVent hDcTM evaporates moisture faster than any other fabric after the initial washings, including any modified cross-section fiber.
