Not sure how much the new version costs, but Hyperice products are generally a little pricey. That being said this wrap is great for soothing sore knees. I like to set it contrast. The battery life is pretty good too. You can hit a full 18 minute cycle of contrast on both knees on 1 charge. And if it’s plugged in you obviously don’t have to worry about it.

This thing is great. They are a little expensive, but the price isn’t crazy on the “older models” of Hyperice equipment. Either way, it’s worth the money imo. It won’t fix any back issues, but when my back is sore this really helps relieve it. I even use it on my upper back. And the battery life is excellent. You can use it a bunch of times with the heat and massage function simultaneously on one charge.

A few of my favorite things: The U&U Podcast, cottage cheese, drink safety and cryptic Gym Radar speed test entries.

The quality is just as solid as the uprights that came with my X-3, and it’s pretty inexpensive.

These are affordable, well made, and the powder coat is good. My plates slide on and off super smooth.
