Tolles Produkt und hervorragender Service

Die Betterguards sind eine tolle Erfindung! Sie sind sehr leicht, schränken die Bewegung nicht ein und schützen im Fall der Fälle vor Verletzungen. Wir tragen sie bei jedem Handballtraining und -spiel (Jugendbundesliga und Regionalliga) und haben den Schutz durch die Bandagen bereits kennenlernen können.
Was aber auch unbedingt betont werden muss: der Service/Support bei Betterguards ist einfach unschlagbar gut. Schnell, kompetent und unkompliziert (Vielen Dank, Samira!)!

Rechnung 202516438-
1 Paar Betterguards 2.0, schwarz, XL

Ich habe letztes Wochenende meine neuen BeGs 2.0 beim Spiel getestet. Den Tragekompfort finde ich ehrlich geschrieben leider nicht gut.
Das Dämpfungselement drückt bei mir auf den Knochen oberhalb des Knöckels. Sehr lockern kann man es aber nicht, weil dann wohl die Schutzfunktion gefährdet oder nicht sichergestellt ist. Ich fand das sehr unangenehm.

Von der Konstruktion her hätte Betterguards das meines Erachtens lieber so machen sollen, dass der Dämpfer gewissermaßen auf einer Art Halbschale aufliegt/befestigt ist... so etwa ein Drittel eines aufgeschittenden Zylinders. Damit würde sich der Druck großflächig oberhalb des Knöchels verteilen. Diese "Schale müsste gegen Schwitzen perforiert sein und an der Innenseite mit einer Lage Memory-Foam gepolster sein (ähnlich dem Material der Innenschuhe bei hochwertigen Snowboard-Boots).
Vielleicht etwas für eine 3.0-Version...?!? So - jedenfalls für meinen Geschmack - leider noch nicht ausgereift.

Eventuell bringen die optionalen Socken etwas, aber 25 Euro ein Paar... ok, es ist deren Business-Case, aber nicht jeder Baller haut 50 DM für ein Paar Socken raus... (bin noch älteres Semester bzw. so ein OG, wie man bei mir wohl neudeutsch sagen könnte).
Immerhin gibt es Multipacks, aber die ganze Sache wird in Summe etwas preisintensiv.
Das Hauptproblem ist meiner Meinung nach die schlanke Form des Dämpfungselementes oder dessen Auflagefläche... bitte diese unmittelbar oder mittelbar vergrößern... oder gebt mindestens ein Paar Socken oder Beinmanchetten (ähnlich Handgelenkschweißbändern, nur für den Bereich oberhalb des Knöchels halt) dazu. Die Kosten doch in der Herstellung vermutlich nur im niedrigen einstelligen Bereich... EK plus Tax und Logistik...

Ok, wenn man die Guards nicht ständig trägt, kann man es wohl aushalten, aber ich muss dann hoffen, dass ich nicht nochmal auf einem fremden Fuß lande. Außerdem, bei fünf bis sechmal Training die Woche, wird es für mich schwer, Komfort und Schutz zu vereinen. Schade.
