First chair, you feel great. Fresh groomers, legs fresh, knee quiet. Then the bumps add up. By lunch, the knee starts talking. By two, you’re taking the long way around the mogul field. By three, you’re in the lodge “grabbing a coffee” with an ice pack while your friends ride the lift without you. You’ve got the sleeve. You did the squats. None of it was built for six hours of downhill.
On skis, your quads are the brake, catching your weight on every turn, every bump, every landing, for hours.
The AirPad puts a pocket of air right under the kneecap, between the hill and the joint, on every one of them. It doesn’t squeeze your leg and it doesn’t lock your knee. It just stands in the load path where nothing else has been. Your edges stay yours. This stays on your knee.
Every bump, that force has to go somewhere. The AirPad PRO gives it somewhere else to go.

The adjustable strap fits knee circumferences from 11 to 18 inches. The dual-knot adjustment system lets you customize the fit, and you can readjust it anytime during the day.
No. The interior is ribbed non-slip silicone that anchors against your skin instead of gripping by squeeze, so it stays where you set it from first chair to last chair. No tugging at your knee through your pants in the lift line. If it does move, that’s almost always a fit issue. Email us and we’ll walk you through the adjustment.
Yes. It’s low-profile and open at the back, so it fits under base layers and ski pants without adding bulk. Most people wear it directly on skin, under their base layer, for the best grip.
No. There’s no hinge and nothing wrapping the joint. It sits under the kneecap, so you keep full range of motion to angulate, absorb bumps, and carve the way you always have.
Yes. It sits just below the kneecap, well above the top of your boot cuff, so nothing rubs or gets pinched.
Yes. It’s open at the back rather than a full sleeve, so there’s no sweat building up under your layers that turns cold on the lift. Skin-safe silicone, no rubbing. Most people forget it’s on until après.
Most people feel it on the first full day, once the fit is dialed in. The real test is the afternoon: put it on at first chair and pay attention to how your knee feels at 2 p.m.
Keep doing it. Strong legs and the AirPad aren’t either-or. Your training builds the brake. The AirPad handles the pounding on the hill. Think of it as an insurance policy for long days, not a replacement for leg day.
