Opedix Men's S1 PRO Ski & Board Tights

The S1 Pro model is a 3/4 length design engineered especially for ski racers and other skiing professionals who want to minimize layers of material inside the boot cuff. Using proprietary fabrics designed specifically for comfort and support, the Opedix Knee Support Systemincorporates a patent-pending anchor and sling design to provide support to the outside of the knee, which reduces the amount of damaging outward movement and decreases the stresses or "load" on the knee joint.

When skiing or boarding, forces travel from the snow through the feet and up to the knees. These forces can push the knee joint to the outside creating wear points on the inside of the joint where most of the "load" is borne. The Opedix Knee Support System acts to counter these forces and reduce the load.

Ingrained in Opedix S1's DNA are principals of traditional un-loader knee-bracing theory which reduces the knee-adductor moment to reduce medial knee-compartment load - a combination of muscle, ligament, and ground-reaction forces which significantly, and often detrimentally, increases in magnitude during physical activities such as running. This mechanical process is referred to by scientists as "unloading" the knee and is a established strategy for reducing pain, increasing physical function of the knee joint, and mitigating the progression of lower-extremity pathologies including osteoarthritis.
