The team BOCKujem.cz brings first experiences from short testing of a New Cuff to you. The New Cuff used for better fixation of your leg in common knee bar of your jumping stilts and improves a comfort of using your stilts similarly like a calf cuff.
At first you have to wind round a New Cuff of your calf and fix it with hook-and-loop fasteners and than you can put on your jumping stilts. On the front side you can fix it to knee bar with two narrow strips of hook-and-loop fasteners, which keep it from sliding up, down and to sides. Then you will put a belt of knee bar through an eyelet of a New Cuff at the back, then through a metal buckle (just through one, it is not necessary through both) and fix it in to a plastic buckle. Due to this system is much simpler and quicker to take off your stilts. New Cuff is made of very comfortable material. Your leg is unfailing and very comfortable fixed in a New Cuff and a belt behind your knee do not incise. In comparison with home made padding of knee bar it has advantage that in knee arch is more free space and putting on and taking off your stilts is easier. In comparison with plastic knee protectors a New Cuff stays at one place during a jumping. We can file in to a negative aspects uniform thickness of padding, quality of used materials and manufacturing that could cause troubles in the course of time. Hook-and-loop fasteners should be wider and material of padding does not give 100% sureness that it keeps up a predestinate shape. Time will bring more experiences. New cuff is a really good gimmick, but like every innovation not excellent yet.
