![]() ![]() 7 pressure levels with a max of 100mmhg ![]() If you are purchasing from a reseller/vendor check with the vendor as they may still be selling old stock If you are a purchasing from Amazon you will be getting the Gen 2 pulse automatically as those units are sold direct to Amazon from Normatec. I call it the Normatec Pulse Gen 2 and wrote up a separate post on the Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Pulse here. I definitely recommend what Normatec calls the 2018 Normatec Pulse. In my extensive testing this is pretty accurate but the Normatec Pulse 2015-2017 had a battery that wasn't reliable. Has a battery with a stated battery life of 3 hours. Total system weight is 8lbs 7oz for the system. Slim design that can be used and moved with one hand. They are NOT currently available Amazon as the company is doing it best to keep costs lows and selling direct helps keep those costs low. Highly affordable direct from Speed Hound with an extra $50 discount when you enter discount coupon code RecoverFaster22 at checkout. Optional attachments for hips and arms. 45 day "love them" guarantee with a 2-year warranty. Carrying case is included so no need to buy an optional $150 carrying case. They do have wider models as well so if you are a lymphedema patient reading this then I might suggest you go with the wider legs While compared to most triathletes, I have pretty stocky calves and thighs and I fit comfortably, but if you have really large calves/thighs it is something to consider. Speed Hound boots are slimmer than Normatec. Comes with width extenders for those needing more width. You can always buy a second set of legs too. You can do this as well on Normatec's Pulse Pro which is $2500. You would simply deactivate zone 4 for the shorter person. Sizing Note - because you can turn off zones on Speed Hound, you could always go with Long if you wanted to share a long pair of boots with someone who needed short. Available in 110V (USA) and 230V (Non-USA) Features hidden hoses sewn in the legs with dark fabric that won't show dirt. You only get this feature in Normatec Pulse Pro model which is insanely expensive. For instance if you just had a lower calf issue you could run just zone 1 and zone 2. 4 programmable zones with the ability to shut off or turn on the exact zones you want. 2 easy select modes including: flush and massage I really like the visual of the increasing pressure here for new users. 10 easy select pressure levels ranging from 20-200mmHg. You can of course do more than one cycle. 3 easy select time cycles of 10, 20, and 30 minutes. The display is so clear and simple to use. A little bit bigger than Normatec and weighs 8lbs 11oz for the system. ![]() It is very sturdy with a sturdy handle that pops up out of the unit and collapses for storage. I am even typing this review while I am in the boots. As athletes we are already busy and sometimes too tired to be bothered with anything additional and sitting in boots is so easy, so relaxing, and so fun. The main reason why I am so big on recovery compression boots is because they are passive devices that don't require your attention. I am a huge fan of compression boots and specifically over many other modalities like e-stim (Compex & Marc Pro), percussive devices (HyperIce and TheraGun), Bemer devices and even foam rolling. In short, Speed Hound does everything Normatec does but at 50% the cost of Normatec. The end result is youīut this review isn't about Rapid Reboot vs Speed Hound, it is SpeedHound vs Normatec and the reason why is because I still consider Normatec the best known brand when it comes to compression boots. Lymph from the legs helping it back to the This last point may not seem like a big deal, but the hoses on Rapid Reboot come out of the boots at the bottom and the long cables can quickly get tangled making entrance and exit more difficult. In addition, they have the hoses sewn into the legs. In addition Speed Hound is quieter, smaller, and has a convenient handle for one-handed movement. However, Speed Hound has got the price down to $695 which is $300 less than Rapid Reboot. If the Speed Hound interface looks familiar that is probably because it is made by the same manufacturer that makes Rapid Reboot and Elevated Legs. They offer an awesome device, with a super-slick user interface, and at very attractive price point of $695. Speed Hound has been my favorite as of late. It has been a few years since I did my initial review on Normatec vs Air Relax and along the way I have continued to test new compression boots offerings.
