Recently in Traverse City, MI, Ross Martin was in a collision with another racer, where the competitor's sled pierced Martin's leg and got caught in his sled's suspension. Martin was wearing his Breg Fusion® knee braces and reported "I took a big hit to my quad with a ski – it went right into the aluminum frame on the brace. My first thought was that I had broken my leg, which I hadn't. I believe the braces really saved me. I am so thankful I had them on."

Martin added, "The Fusion braces are working unbelievably. They are so comfortable I hardly feel like I'm wearing braces, yet they provide the protection I need." Sports braces do more than help protect during accidents; they can also be worn for joint stabilization, added support and comfort for those who have sustained injuries in the past.

"I like the Fusion a lot because it comfortably moves with my knee, so I feel support at all times," said Paul Bauerly. " My Breg braces have truly helped keep me on the track over the years." To hear more from Bauerly and learn more about bracing for snowmobiling, visit breg.com/snocross.

With a variety of braces available for the ankle, foot, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist and spine, Breg provides a wide selection to fit most athletes looking for protection.
