While ice skating or in-line roller skating, a big effort is imparted on our ankles to support our body weight. Therefore, hockey players for example, will apply a plastic tape around the ankles for additional support. Tape however, doesn't provide a uniform and constant support, it hampers flexibility and it greatly pollutes the environment. Practically, it is a chore to install and remove the tape every time you want to go skating. Finally, even more tape is needed to hold the shin pad in place. The invention is composed of an elongated elastomeric strip of a minimal thickness and an important width. To each end is affixed quick-release fasteners. Hence, the practical inconveniences mentioned earlier are resolved by the simplicity of the invention. One advantage is the quick and simple one step application. The width of the invention allows hockey players to hold the bottom of the shin pad at the same time. Finally, the elastomeric strip's thinness will allow the invention to mold to the exterior of the equipment it is in contact with, providing a good tension and a uniform and constant support, without compromising flexibility.
