Cotton/Lycra (90% cotton/10% Lycra)
Always a popular choice. Cotton is breathable and absorbs moisture. The fabric wears well and keeps it's shape due to the high Lycra content. Cotton/Lycra is a great choice for year-round "breathing" and is a good choice for hot, dry climates. Black only.*
Supplex/Lycra (86% supplex/14%lycra)
Slightly heavier fabric than our cotton/lycra blend. This fabric allows for a comfortable fit with excellent stretch, recovery and durability. This material is slightly sueded (also known as brushing). The sueding helps aide in moisture management. The slight loft that the sueded material provides helps to wick moisture away from the skin aiding in evaporation. We recommend this fabric blend for brace patients that are wearing their brace for many hours in a day (like Osteoarthritis brace patients). It is a great choice, for either Athletic or Osteoarthritis patients due to the moisture management. Black only.*
Powerdry (90% polyester, 10% spandex)
Is our light-weight moisture wicking material. Like all wicking materials, Powerdry moves moisture away from the skin into the loft of the fabric where moisture can be evaporated quicker. This leaves the skin comfortable and cool. Great choice for brace patients that live in humid parts of the world. Light Grey*
*Due to different yarn and dye lots there may be slight texture and color variations.

| October 12, 2006Anne, I finally got my pair of Bracesox Tuesday and wore one yesterday under my Breg unloader brace. I had a busy day with a long drive in the morning to a weaving class - which had me on my feet for three hours straight - home after many hours of errands in town, and then to my planning board ... |
| September 28, 2012I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the help you gave me in ordering my brace sleeve. I really like it so much better than those thick, hot ones. You went above and beyond in courtesy and helpfulness which is rare in this day and age. I will be using this sleeve from now on. Thanks again! ... |

| April 24, 2008Anne, Thank you for getting them in the mail so fast. They really have been a lifesaver. I was so frustrated with wearing my brace before I found these.
