Our choice to utilize Geocell in our products stems from its remarkable properties and our commitment to sustainability. Geocell material is harvested from hevea trees, capable of producing rubber for as long as 30 years, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional, non-renewable neoprene. These rubber plantations adhere to the highest standards of sustainable forest management that preserve biodiversity and ecological integrity. GeoCell material uses eco-friendly materials and production practices, without using or releasing toxic chemicals.This ultra-pure material provides non-sensitizing qualities that are crucial for consumer safety. Our products not only meet the performance, flexibility, and durability standards set by neoprene but in many instances, exceed them. The braces are Registered as Class 1 Medical Devices, designed to support, stabilize, and protect your injuries, ensuring both safety and comfort.
Trainer's Choice has meticulously selected recycled nylon for our latest Knit Knee Sleeve, ensuring unmatched support and comfort. The consistent, compression fit gives you the support you need, while the contoured design and seamless construction provides maximum comfort and mobility to keep you active and protected through any activity.
Recognized as one of the strongest plastics, recycled nylon is not only durable but also lightweight and quick-drying, ensuring optimal performance. By choosing recycled nylon, we significantly reduce our dependence on petroleum, divert waste materials from landfills, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions associated with production. Our knit sleeves stand as a prime example of how sustainability and superior product quality can go hand in hand, maintaining the high standards of performance and durability our customers expect.
