January 21, 2009
FIS has recently ruled on how knee braces shall be worn while Alpine Ski Racing. Since USSA Alpine Ski racing follows the FIS ICR and Precisions, unless USSA makes an exception to the rule, this is how a knee brace may be worn while competing in Alpine ski racing Wearing A Knee Brace while Alpine Ski Racing A Knee brace must be covered by a suit material not worn out side of the suit uncovered! There are 2 options that will allow you to wear the knee brace 1 - Wear the knee brace under the race suit 2 - Wear the knee brace over the race suit but it must be fully covered by another piece of race suit (cut the leg off of an old suit and fully cover the brace with this)
