BREG is entering the new millennium
with a bold new look and new sleek image. The
new X2K Unlimited powder coat version is ultra
light-almost 1/3 lighter than the plastisol version.
Its design focuses on a knee brace that is extremely
low profile and lightweight.
With its user friendly
application, including the new quick-release strap
tabs, one almost forgets that the Tradition's
triangular design makes it one of the strongest,
most efficient functional braces on the market. The
X2K Unlimited is designed for skiing, motocross and
horseback riding, due to its angular thigh frame.

The distinctive Diamond shape of Breg's
functional knee braces provides optimal support
for ACL, PCL and collateral ligament protection. The
Diamond shape offers superior strength to varus/valgus
bending for optimal knee and graft protection. In a
typical rectangular knee brace, the valgus movement
of the knee is resisted by the bending strength of
the linear sidebars. In Breg's diamond design,
valgus motion is resisted by the bending strength of
the angled diamond shape, an inherently stronger
design as evidenced by its use in bridge
construction and race car frames. In 1998, Breg
introduced the first functional knee brace designed
just for women. The concept of a women's brace was
to better fit the proportionally lighter and shorter
female leg. Additionally, with a woman's wider hip
base, the valgus forces on the knee are grater on a
female than male, that's why Breg's unique "Diamond
Design" is so important for optimal support and
protection of the ACL and PCL in women.
Straps secure to the X2K with a new "slide-snap"
which makes getting the brace on and off a snap.
