Active Ankle Debuts New Ankle Braces

July 12, 2016 By Active Ankle

Active Ankle has debuted the Eclipse II and Eclipse I, two multi-sport rigid ankle braces with improved durability, design, comfort and mobility. 

The Eclipse II Rigid Multi-Sport Ankle Brace provides maximum protection through its solid U-shaped design and innovative multi-point strapping system. The anatomically correct bilateral hinge allows for unencumbered forward/back and vertical mobility, while the unique, contoured stirrup shape improves fit and creates a more compact ankle device that is lighter in weight. Custom molded EVA padding in Eclipse II conforms to the shape of the ankle and prevents overheating.

The new Eclipse I Rigid Multi-Sport Ankle Brace provides superior mobility while maintaining the protection of a rigid ankle brace through its unique single upright design. By engineering a rigid brace with only one support in Eclipse I, Active Ankle has been able to increase side-to-side mobility while still maintaining rigid protection. In addition, freeing up the inner ankle allows athletes from a broader range of sports to enjoy rigid ankle protection with little compromise to performance. Athletes participating in sports such as basketball, football (RB, WR, CB), soccer, cheerleading and more will now have a new option for ankle support.

For athletes looking for less support than a rigid brace but more security than tape, Active Ankle has a newly rebranded AS1 PRO Multi-Sport Sport Lace-Up Brace. This ankle brace provides enhanced protection while maintaining the comfort of the classic lace-up ankle brace. The product is designed with supportive compression and integrated vertical straps that imitate a heel-lock taping technique.

Athletes in need of moderate to low level ankle support and looking for maximum comfort usually turn to ankle sleeves. The newly rebranded 329 Ankle Sleeve provides support to ligaments with specialized warmth through its supportive compression, multi-directional dual straps and innovative heel-lock technology.
