atasic,
I am one of the owners of Rapid Reboot, and I'm glad you're considering purchasing our recovery system. We're glad to hear you guys tried and liked them- we're thinking of doing more races. So, if you see us, please stop by and use them again or try them for the first time! Because we are a new company you probably won't see a lot of information online about us yet, but if anyone has any questions we'd be happy to answer them. Wether you choose a pair of our Reboots or Normatec's boots you'll be happy with either one! Compression boots are a great way to recover and get the most out of your training.
At the beginning of 2018, I purchased an Air Relax system---primarily for my wife, who can make use of compression therapy for her MS symptoms. However, the AR system was returned given the material of the boots irritating her skin and triggering spasms, the very thing the boots were supposed to help remedy.
Despite not training/competing like I used to, compression boots are something I'm interested in. The AR system worked well for me, but I especially liked Rapid Reboot. The folks I talked with at IMAZ in 2016 were helpful before & after the race, so I was curious if any had done any direct comparisons in the textiles used for the exterior of the compression boots. Does part of the discounted price in the Air Relax system come in the form of a cheaper (ergo more irritating) material? Is the Air Relax any different, softer, less abrasive, etc.?
(Normatec is simply not an option due to the drastically higher price. Even the RR system is pricier than I would like, but, if my wife can use it to help curtail MS symptoms [while aiding in my aging body's recovery from running], I'm game.)
