Elasticated Knee Wraps

"These knee wraps are perfect for competitive power lifters and bodybuilders, stabilizing and supporting the knee joint under heavy loads/lifts. Elasticated with velcro tabs to ensure a good fit, and featuring a foot loop to slide on over trainers for easier wrapping."

Pete says - having just spotted these knee wraps on our site which weren't added by myself I felt the need to investigate what on earth a "foot loop" is. On un-ravelling one of the wraps it's simply just the end (start) of the wrap which is looped around and stitched back on it's self. This loop is slid over your trainer and up the lower leg to below the knee. The idea behind it is to facillitate the initial wrapping.To me it seems like trying to "gadgetise" something that has always been right for the job. The reallity would be that these elasticated knee wraps are firmly targeted towards the cross-fit generation with whom we've seen a huge increase in sales of competition lifting equipment and gear right from the first week the "never lifted before" exponents enroll at their local crossfit-box. 

If you want to test the water with a set of knee wraps then these would make a great first purchase and are just the right strength to offer a support without restricting movement to drastically and for the "normal" sized leg the end loop should facillitate fairly rapid deployment at the start of your crossfit session.
