Zamst A2 DX Left Ankle Support

Product Information

Those looking for protection rather than discretion may appreciate the McDavid Bio-Logix Ankle Brace, a heavy-duty, performance-grade ankle brace. Crafted from molded plastic, it offers stability without sacrificing comfort. The flex-link hinge design offers further protection, and a memory foam padding cushions the ankle joint for comfortable wear. Ankle braces with inserts or exterior support structures offer more protection and are especially useful if you want to prevent high ankle sprains or if you are recovering from one. However, they are heavier, less comfortable, and restrict your movements to a higher degree than the previously-presented lighter options. Zamst A2-DX Ankle Brace

Fit – The sizing is based solely on the size shoe you wear and I fell right within the Large range. I also considered the fact that the size of the brace is directly related to the size of the plastic support features so it was important to go true to size to realize the full benefits. Also note that it is left/right specific so be aware of that when purchasing. In terms of fitting in shoes, it has fit in my high and low basketball shoes fine, just note that the plastic components will tear apart your ankle collar on a low top.

Ankle sleeves

In addition to the flexible silhouette, the Bodyprox Ankle Support Brace is crafted from a comfortable textile. The neoprene composition minimizes irritation and the lightweight material offers breathability. Wearers can tighten or loosen the brace’s straps to get a fit that’s as cozy as they want it to be.

Braces are far bulkier than ankle sleeves but offer maximum protection and help to prevent or to recover from ankle sprains. They come in different styles with either just a lace-up/strap combination or with additional stays or plastic inserts that increase stability even further. Ankle braces without inserts: You can defintiely make a case that the A2-DX is unmatched in the protection it provides, though. If you’re recovering from a moderate to severe ankle sprain this may very well be the deciding factor in which one you should buy. If you possess even a passing knowledge of NBA you’re more than likely to have heard of Steph Curry. The 2 time NBA MVP is one of the most fearless and skillful players on the planet, bombing away from deep; breaking ankles whilst flying into the paint with scant regard for his body; and all while plying his trade in the toughest and arguably most physically demanding league in the world (upwards of 100 games over 6 months??). There’s little doubt that the arduous NBA schedule plays a significant part in most injuries we see today.

A2-DX Black

The brace can feel a bit stiff in the beginning but after a short break-in period, the material starts to feel really nice. The McDavid has 9 sets of eyelets (compared to 6 of the ASO), which makes it a bit bulkier and more difficult to put on. In return, it also offers a bit more stability compared to the ASO. Players looking for the best support and protection usually either opt for the Zamst A2-DX or Ultra Zoom Ankle Brace.

Ease of Use – The ASO brace is a little more straight forward than the Zamst and is thus easier to put on and faster by a minute or two at the very most. When the laces and the velcro straps get tangled it is never a mess that can’t be resolved in 10 seconds of aimless pulling. In terms of washing, I chose to do so by hand because I feared the washing machine could potentially tangle the brace beyond recognition or possibly ruin the elastic elements. Perhaps an unnecessary precaution, but I won’t tell you to try anything I wouldn’t do myself. This is my honest assessment of my experience, they will not proof you from further injury, but they may offer piece of mind or much needed support. I hope you enjoyed the review and I look forward to your comments! The Bodyprox Ankle Support Brace is an excellent choice in terms of comfort, flexibility, and affordability.
