Description
Description
The Halvern Descent Strap targets the tendon just below your kneecap — the one that absorbs most of the load when you're heading downhill, down stairs, or down a trail. Unlike a compression sleeve that wraps the whole joint, this applies pressure to one point, where descent load actually concentrates.
3D silicone gel pad, adjustable strap, one size fits most. Under 100g. Black.

How To Use
How To Use
Find the bottom edge of your kneecap. Measure two finger-widths down — that's roughly where the pad should sit, centered on the tendon. Strap it snug, not tight. You should feel steady, not squeezed.
Takes about fifteen seconds once you've done it once. A placement card ships inside every order.

Our Guarantee
Our Guarantee
Try it for 60 days. Wear it on your next descent — stairs, trail, hill, whatever's normal for you. If it doesn't help, send it back. No reason needed.
One thing it won't do: fix a locked or swollen knee, or a suspected ligament tear. If that's what you're dealing with, see a doctor before you order anything online.

Buckle, up close
Your knee isn't the problem. The tendon below it is.
Walking downstairs, down a trail, or downhill asks your quad to slow you down with every step. That braking work lands on one spot — the tendon just below your kneecap. That's why the way up is usually fine, and the way down is the part you feel.
How it works
-
1. Find the spot
Locate the bottom edge of your kneecap, then measure two finger-widths down.
-
2. Strap it snug
Centered on the tendon, snug but not tight. You should feel steady, not squeezed.
-
3. Go
Fifteen seconds and you're set. Most people forget it's there by the second step.
60-Day Trial
Wear it on your next descent. If it doesn't help, send it back — no reason needed.
