CARBON FIBER

I really love these crutches! They are light and sturdy, just what you would expect from a high quality carbon fiber built item. It is balanced well and very light. They are lighter than my normal aluminum crutches and feel much more comfortable. The case is a nice touch, but the case is just a bag with a draw string. They should make an actual carrying case that will hold two that I can wear as a backpack. They would sell along with these crutches, if they make it. I literally was searching for travel friendly crutches. These are definitely travel friendly, but they won't fit in a typical backpack, nor a normal carryon luggage. They are approximately 22.4" when folded and the height of a typical back pack is 18". Carry on luggage is about 20-22". This will fit fine in your large checked luggage. I jerry rigged my 18" backpack so that they will hold these crutches if I put them in the side water bottle holders and secure them with an elastic velcro band that is 24.6" long and can stretch to 40". You will need a strap that can wrap around the circumference of your backpack, and a backpack with water bottle holder(s). You can find these elastic straps here on Amazon by searching for "elastic velcro straps". These crutches do not have shock absorbers, just in case you are wondering. Anyhow, happy travels!

Very sturdy. Bought before foot surgery- Keep next to bed . You need a lot more strength than you think to use. I also have regular Crutches and A knee scooter. They all come in handy for different tasks around the house post foot surgery. These are great for travel, compact and fold in half with carry bag. Makes going to the store a lot easier in combination with knee scooter Not good for Bath room visits, regular Crutches for a Man going #1 will support and hold you up. Recommend- Buy these as soon as possible before the surgery to practice and build up muscles that you most likely never used that often. It also puts a lot pressure on your forearms and those with carpal tunnel a little harder. But , I love these as part of my post surgery equipment. These are best in my opinion for short trips or movements.

Ok… I’ve been waiting for over TWO YEARS, nearly THREE to leave this review of the “Kmina Forearm Crutches,” specifically the “folding carbon fiber design.” One reason for my delay is due to laziness, I’ll admit. But another reason is because I really wanted to test durability, strength, weight, and overall functionality of this design over an extended period of time. To provide a little context… I am a SCI survivor and an “incomplete” para. When I first noticed these crutch’s on Amazon, both my PT and I were pretty skeptical of the quality, especially given the price point compared to other DME(s) (durable medical equip.) Also, Amazon tends to have a ton of poorly crafted items for sale which is really hard to sift through… Mostly relying on reviews and hoping they are not bought and paid-for. (This is a 💯 completely voluntary review, scouts honor!) With that context in mind I must say; These KMINA Forearm crutch’s are like finding a hidden treasure trove of gold in a vast barren desert landscape. They could possibly be the best human technological advancement since the moon-landing. I have put these crutches through absolute hell and they are still as strong and functional as day one! Their appearance is not the same, with scuffs and dirt build up, but the functionality and strength remains absolutely flawless. I have dropped these, driven over them, waded into lakes and oceans with them, taken modest hikes and gone camping with them, taken them abroad, left them in tremendous heat on a beach, or by campfires, or by my wood-stove. I forgot them outside during the coldest days of winter… one time they were plowed into a snowbank. I have used them while practicing carrying weighted backpacks… pushing down an additional 100lbs or so on them… I have rolled my wheelchair over them like it was my job. Oh did I mention dropping them? At least 10,000 times… I’ve even swore and cussed at them and they just don’t falter. EVER. These could be the single best item I’ve ever purchased anywhere… That’s certainly the case for Amazon! Despite wishing I didn’t need them, I can’t express enough praise for this design and this company! In fact, if KMINA were looking for a spokesperson who’s disabled to demonstrate and advertise their durability, I would more than gladly sign-up! Especially if it meant I got free pair every… I dunno… decade, century?? Maybe just one free pair once I hit 1,000,000 miles, like Toyota. Or perhaps a modest discount? (*hint, hint*) Anyhow I digress. If you need forearm crutch’s that are feather-light, more rigid than a Rhinoceros’ horn or more solid than Thor’s hammer, look no further and buy these immediately, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Sincerely -a big fan of KMINA

2 year update: this product still works excellent.. Just a few small scuffs that are not very noticeable. However one of my crutches has gotten a slight creaking sound after putting my full body weight several times, but it is not very noticeable. There was a time period of about a week to a month where I needed to use both crutches and put most of my weight on them. I would not recommend it for this purpose, as it hurts the wrists and does not provide the right type of support, but it gets the job done in a pinch. My typical use is I have 1 crutch in the car and 1 crutch in the house, and I use it as a cane alternative. I walk inside a building with my crutch folded and try to walk as much as I can without hurting myself. The only downside to doing this is that the cane looks kind of like a gun when folded lol Original post: Using one crutch in place of my cane is so much better. Less pressure on my wrist so I can support myself much better. This was a great purchase even if I don't use the other crutch. Super light weight, comfortable, and SILENT! I don't even like wearing shoes that make a noise, and the crutch passed the test. I wish it was more closed at the top OR had a strap because it would tip a bit the wrong way while moving. I bought the add on strap and I would not recommend it, it slips and adds extra bulk.

So much better than old fashioned crutches . Used during 9 days vacation.. Folds into three pieces held together by bands. Many heights adjustment. Hand Grip is good . I used as walking crutches. Not as totally off my foot.

I chose these for their folding feature. They are twice the price of regular crutches and you only get one. They work fine, easy to adjust, good quality, comfortable to use. They come with bags. When folded they are still bulky. As far as weight goes they seem as heavy as their aluminum counter parts. My main reason to choose these was because I thought I would use the folding feature. I keep them together and ready to use most to the time. I did take them on vacation folded, but did not use them much. They are easier to use and more stable than using a cane. I use a walker and canes most of the time. These help walking upright. I use them inside and outside.

I broke my leg and the economy under arm crutches are more than I can deal with for 6 weeks. These are SO much better. The handles are super grippy which is good for safety but you can pinch your skin if you don't grab them right so make of that what you will. Fully adjustable and carbon fiber look is great. Reflectors - just silly and they don't reflect. All the nit picking aside these are great crutches at a great price and would definitely buy them again if needed.

Hi there! I’m a physical therapist with a severe vestibular disorder (balance & sensory problems), waiting til after this trip to have both knees replaced. I hiked this trail down to this amazing waterfall in Jamestown Tennessee. Easy by other’s standards, but it was 2.4 miles up & down hills and rocks I never would have done without these AMAZING crutches by KMINA. These are the carbon fiber that fold. Completely secure, stable, handled rocks, tree roots, boulders and never a clink, clack or clunk either before or after. Used one to board airplanes, folded down quick into the bag and into overhead storage, easy out & locked for off boarding. Bought and used the cuff pad/liner - definitely a must. Will look for their handle pads. Don’t need much, just a lot of weight bearing on them on the hike. I am sold on these crutches and the brand. I will definitely recommend to my patients, family and friends.

Superb comfortable and comfortable.

Leggere, comode per la facile flessibilità e per riporle in uno zainetto quando non vengono utilizzate. Grande sostegno per una persona di 70 Kg. Ottimo prodotto.

Las mejores que he probado. He usado varios modelos, pero como estas no las hay. No pesan apenas, no se doblan con el tiempo y son bastante cómodas y bonitas. Ya llevo sobre 2 años con ellas y perfectas.

These are exceptionally well designed and well made. Light weight and silent in use. Attractive appearance seems far less intimating to general public too. I also recommend these to folks who use a cane. The improvement in control is tremendous and could easily prevent a fall. In colder areas where ice can be a problem, add fold-up ice picks to the bottom for safety. I am absolutely delighted with this purchase. If you find the red reflectors a bit much, they are easy to blacken with a magic-marker. I also drilled small holes in the cuffs to add a short piece of elastic strapping so I can free up my hand without having to find a parking spot for the crutch. A very simple but important improvement.

これはよかった。 軽くて使い易くて、素材が良く、安心感がある。
