If you're struggling, you can use the diagram below as a guide:

Which Thickness Is Right for Me?
If you are after a thinner, more flexible brace for sporting activity, we recommend you select the 3mm variation of this brace. If you are using your brace for shorter, more power based activities like weightlifting and squatting, we recommend selecting the thicker 5mm size.
How Tight Is the Vulkan Classic Knee Support?
Depending on the thickness you select, you'll find that your Vulkan Classic Knee Brace provides a different style of flexible compression. The 5mm thickness is designed for weightlifters and those engaging in short, strength based movements, whilst the thinner, more flexible 3mm variation is designed for all-day wear at work or whilst out running.

Triple Layer Design for Maximum Comfort
The Vulkan Classic Knee Support is designed to provide the therapeutic properties of heat retention provided by neoprene, while promoting air flow. It consists of three layers that deliver maximum support and comfort:
- Protective Top Layer: Tough nylon fabric is Mauser stitched along key points to provide the strongest possible seam.
- Neoprene Core: Quality closed cell neoprene core insulates and retains body heat for natural heat therapy.
- Aerotherm Lining: Specially construction lining allows air to circulate freely, helping to draw perspiration away from the skin.
Breathable Neoprene
Neoprene is well known for its heat retentive properties, which increase blood circulation to enhance pain relief. However, neoprene also tends to cause overheating, especially during intense physical activity. The Vulkan Brace tells a different story thanks to its Aerotherm lining, which wicks moisture away from the body for fresh, breathability.
How Comfortable is the Vulkan Classic Knee Support?
In addition to the aforementioned breathability, the Vulkan Classic Knee Support's triple-layer design also gives it a soft, spongy quality that's satisfying to wear. It's anatomical structure further enhances comfort, and also ensures the brace works effectively to compress and support the area.
