Strong legs are essential for skiing and snowboarding. However, if you really want to be fast, you surely need a strong upper body and back as well. That holds true for long downhills as well as for quick turns at slalom races. Professional winter athletes, therefore, put emphasis on the respective workout of the shoulders, arms, chest, and the back.

The Bauerfeind Sports Back Support fully wraps around the torso in the lumbar region and provides your back muscles with a pleasing massage thanks to its Powerdot Pad and specialised nubs. That improves posture and counteracts tensions and wrong movements.

Low weight, optimal ventilation

Don’t worry, you don’t have to carry a lot by wearing the Back Support. Thanks to its thin, ultra-light knitted fabric, you can unobtrusively wear the support under your winter sports garment and optimal ventilation is guaranteed. With its flat abdominal fastening and an anatomical fit, you don’t have to sacrifice freedom of movement.

Every passionate skier and snowboarder knows them: “burning“ thighs and calves. No wonder: much muscle tension is needed in order to keep a stable body position even at high speeds and weight forces that can be a multiple of your body weight.

Compression for an optimal performance

Wearing compression clothing like the Bauerfeind Sports Compression Socks Run & Walk or the Compression Sleeves Upper Leg is an effective way to prevent sore muscles, cramps, and muscle vibrations. The pleasant compression effect triggers blood circulation and oxygen transport to the muscles. Your muscles will become more efficient and tire more slowly.

Well recovered thanks to high-tech microfibre

Thanks to the breathable compression knit, sweat is optimally transported away from your body and your skin’s temperature is regulated. That helps you get back on your skis and snowboard even shortly after long downhill runs and go for new personal records.

Ski boots have to be tight to provide the athlete with a maximum of stability in the lower body and optimal protection for the ankles. The downside: the feet are hurting a lot by the end of the day. The reason for that lies in the lack of freedom of movement of the feet inside the boots which results in faster fatigue of the foot muscles.

Easier stretching, less pain

Specialised sports insoles like the Sports Insoles Ski & Skate from Bauerfeind Sports can solve this problem. With their unique x-shaped module in the core, the insoles remain flexible and support the natural movement of the foot inside the ski boot. In addition, proprioceptive spots stimulate the foot muscles and effectively prevent cramping.

Against cold feet and unpleasant odours

Thanks to their temperature-regulating cover, the insoles keep your feet warm even at frosty temperatures. In addition, the cover’s antibacterial effect prevents unpleasant odours.
