Using a patented blend of EVA and neoprene, the new Equalizer Kneepad from Bute provides both heat retention and impact absorption. The neoprene retains heat, which is vital to the protection of vulnerable soft tissue in the knee while the durable EVA absorbs harmful impacts and jolts, common in contact oriented sports like wrestling. The Equalizer Kneepad provides complete protection for the knees and should be a standard piece of any wrestlers equipment.
