When we started this business, most braces were made out of the same neoprene found in wetsuits, but the same properties that make neoprene great for wetsuits (waterproof and highly insulating) make it terrible for being active on dry land.

In 1994, we invented a breathable, lightweight, and compressive alternative to neoprene and named it BioSkin®, because it fits like skin and mimics the body’s natural climate control system. We have since developed a family of materials that work together to make each brace highly functional and exceptionally comfortable. All of our fabrics are made in the U.S. and are designed to be breathable, lightweight, thin, strong, hypoallergenic, and have dynamic, radial stretch.
