EVS Sports has come a long ways since its first knee brace in 1985, thanks to modern technology and materials. EVS says its latest knee brace, the RS8 is the lightest full-flexion (flexion is a fancy way to say bending of limbs) knee brace on the market because of its innovative injection-molded, high-impact polypropylene shell. Its light weight combined with well-ventilated construction means it's super comfortable.

The brace uses EVS's patented and customizable TrueMotion2.0 Anatomically Correct Hinge, which is designed to eliminate chafing and to track with the knee – it moves with the leg, rather than create resistance.

The ClickTec Quick Release Buckle System lets you dial in the fit, and get in and out of the brace fast. The removable and washable liner is made from DrySuede, which is an absorbent liner made from glove leather for comfort and durability.

The brace's DualDefense TotalTrack Patella Guard is comprised of two telescoping knee guards that keep the wearer's knee cap safe in both the bent or straight position. Plus, you can use the RS8 in rain, or even in watersports, such as watercraft racing.
The RS8 is available in sizes small to XL, and will be on sale in January and can be purchased as a pair for $395 or individually for $225.
