The importance of knee support for skiing & snowboarding
Few sports challenge your knees like skiing and snowboarding. Sharp turns, hard landings, and high speeds put immense pressure on your joints—especially on uneven or icy terrain. Whether you’re carving down groomed runs or navigating fresh powder, proper knee protection helps reduce the risk of injury and keeps you performing confidently all season long.
Prevent injury
Skiing and snowboarding demand strength, balance, and joint stability. Without support, repetitive stress and sudden twisting motions can lead to serious knee injuries, including ligament and meniscus damage such as the dreaded “Unhappy Triad.” Bauerfeind Sports knee supports provide medical-grade compression that enhances muscle control, stabilizes the joint, and reduces strain—helping you stay agile and protected during every turn and landing.
Engineered for Performance and Comfort
Your gear should enhance your movement, not hold you back. The lightweight, breathable knit of Bauerfeind Sports knee supports provides a precise anatomical fit that promotes natural mobility and reliable stability through every turn and landing. Designed for the demands of skiing and snowboarding, the ventilated fabric keeps moisture away from your skin while maintaining comfort in changing temperatures and long days on the mountain.

FAQ
What is the difference between a knee support and a knee sleeve?
A knee support provides more structure and stability, often using components like stays or pads to guide movement and protect the joint during intense activity. A knee sleeve offers targeted compression to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support muscle performance and recovery.
Will a knee brace fit under ski or snowboard pants?
Yes. Bauerfeind Sports knee supports are lightweight, slim, and anatomically designed to fit comfortably under most base layers or snow pants without adding bulk or restricting movement.
Should I wear a knee brace on both knees or just one?
If you’ve had a previous injury, it’s important to brace that knee for extra protection. However, many skiers and snowboarders choose to wear supports on both knees for balanced stability and injury prevention.
How do I choose the right size?
To ensure optimal performance and comfort, it’s important to follow the product-specific measurement charts and instructions on each Bauerfeind Sports product page. Our products are anatomically designed and rely on precise measurements to guarantee the correct fit. The right size means optimal compression, stability, and freedom of movement — so your gear supports you exactly as it should.
How do I care for my knee support?
Bauerfeind Sports Supports and Sleeves are machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent (no bleach or fabric softener). Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry or hang, as it can stretch the fabric. Regular washing helps maintain compression and performance.
