The BetterGuard is the best ankle protection with an integrated mini-piston & closure system that works like a safety harness for ankle joints, it provides a full range of motion with protection in critical situations.

After struggling with tape and other ankle braces for years, I wanted to find the lightest-weight brace that would still give me the support I need and let me still move like I want to. I’m embracing the minimalist approach of The BetterGuard because it’s actually much better for us to have freedom of movement in an ankle brace vs. wearing the enormous ankle braces people used to play in before.
