The new and revised GAIN Pro Ankle Protectors are manufactured from a soft, perforated neoprene material with a super comfortable lining. They prevent rashes & skin irritation and offer more protection against microbiological growth by providing maximum breathability and sweat transmission. Screen printed Velcro tabs make for an easy & stylish fit. SlimShieldTM shock absorbing foam in the Achilles tendon area and soft plastic inserts for both sides provide maximum protection without the protectors being bulky or in the way.
