The Patriot MIM-104 is used to protect the skies of the United States and its allies from ballistic missile threats.
Like this badass piece of reactive armament, the Patriot Knee Wrap is designed to protect something you hold dear: your performance on meet day.
This wrap has been the pet project of the entire elitefts purchasing team for the better part of a year, and was designed to live up to and surpass some big names: The elitefts Heavy Knee Wrap, the Metal Silver, the Sling Shot World Record Breakers, and several others named after criminals.
elitefts staff members have used this wrap in multiple meets, and have tested dozens of variations in the world-famous S4 Compound. What we've settled on is what we feel is the best and most versatile wrap for any squatter - whether you're wide-stanced, narrow-stanced, raw, equipped, slow descent, fast descent, or anything in between, the Patriot Knee Wrap is going to help you move more weight.
We used the Heavy Knee Wrap as the basis for this, but asked our mill make the base material slightly finer, but with a higher thread count and more rubber. This makes the wrap more dense so as to be supportive, but the finer base material and additional rubber allows for more stretch. A special brushed finish applied to the fabric makes the knee wrap comfortable, but just abrasive enough to lock into place against itself once wrapped...and the extra rubber in the design means the wrap will essentially minutely tighten ITSELF after you or your partner wraps you.
Let that sink in for a minute: We've created a wrap whose combination of fabrics and finishes allows for more support while offering more rebound - something that's damn near impossible to do.
It's also incredibly versatile, in that you can modulate the amount of support and rebound you receive based on the technique and tightness you use to wrap it. So, in effect, this wrap can be easily adapted to almost anyone that's ready to bust a string of PRs.
So, to summarize:
- Special fabric type, additional rubber, and custom finish produce record-setting support AND rebound simultaneously.
- Versatility of fabric makes this wrap perfect for almost any squatter.
- Continues to tighten after wrapped.
- Special finish helps wrap self-adhere for no-slip application.
This will be the wrap everyone will be talking about in 2015.
