Aventure Crutch Tip

I am currently testing the Aventure crutch tip manufactured by Keen Mobility. I’ve only had it on my crutches for a few days but so far, I’m impressed. I have been using the Tornado crutch tip exclusively for the past 15 years-so this head to head test will be interesting. Like the Tornado crutch tip, the Aventure crutch tip is extremely hard to put on. It takes strong muscles, a can of WD 40 and a lot of perseverance! I’ve noticed over the years that the Tornado tip seems to be getting “more rigid” and doesn’t have the give of earlier Tornado tips. This is purely based on my own experiences and not backed up by any scientific data.
What has caught my eye early on with the Aventure crutch tip is it’s ability to “give” quite a bit-it appears to be softer than the Tornado tip. The next test will be if this softness equates to a shorter life-time will tell!

I live in Denver, Colorado so thus far the Aventure tip has been exposed to snow and ice very early on and has performed well. I’m a very active forearm crutch user so I will keep you posted on the test results and let you know if the Aventure tip, manufactured by Keen Mobility, joins the Tornado crutch tip on the hall of fame list or if it hits the wall of shame list!

If you have a ambulatory product that you would like tested please let me know. This might include medical items like crutches, canes, crutch tips, crutch handles and accessories. We don’t currently offer any pediatric crutches in our product offerings but are open to suggestions on what you feel are the best products out there!

    Hi,

    I am a RAK Amp. I of course need crutches on a regular basis! I am not looking for real expensive crutches, but could use some replacement tips, underarm pads and grips. Any suggestions for decent stuff that isn’t outrageously priced?

    TIA,

    Susan
