The POD K8 3.0 Knee Brace Carbon is designed for the left leg in an extra-large size. Its forged carbon frame uses layers of prepreg composite carbon fiber sheets that are pressed, heated, and molded to optimize strength while reducing weight. The brace features POD’s Live Adaptive Lower Frame, a progressive design intended to conform to and capture the lower leg while helping reduce the chances and severity of rotational force injuries.
The Human Motion hinge uses synthetic ligaments engineered from Vectran fibers to provide progressive, multi-directional motion control. A CE Level 2 full-coverage impact system uses a proprietary viscoelastic polymer designed to absorb and disperse impact forces. The adaptive cuff accommodates different leg sizes and shapes, adapts to muscle movement, and disperses load.
A Hex Grip comfort liner helps limit brace migration and reacts to heat to support airflow around the leg. The liner is also designed to help mitigate moisture, odor, and bacteria for improved riding comfort. This product is identified by manufacturer part number K830-CLT-LT-XL and vendor part number K830-CLT-LT-XL.
