Sports medicine and performance brand OS1st has released the newest product in its Brace Layer System, the AF7 Ankle Bracing Sleeve. Like all of the technical products in the OS1st line of bracing sleeves, the AF7 Ankle Bracing Sleeve contains patented Compression Zone Technology for graduated medical grade support.

“We remain committed to designing active bracing products for runners to actually be able to run in comfortably.  Our products are designed to stabilize not immobilize.  The AF7 Ankle Brace is an exciting addition to our lineup and represents the next level in high-tech bracing design,” says Josh Higgins, VP, Sales.
