Knee braces

[thebri]

Anybody ever use the Asterisk Cell's for snowmobiling?? I bought a pair last fall and then broke my arm on the bike. Never used them and now the wife has put an end to motocross. Thought I would sell them but am considering wearing them on the sled. Anybody have good luck with them??

Yeah, when i was racing I wore them, only thing I didn't like about them was that the nylon straps would always break.

I wear the evs Vision braces for mx and snowmobile, I have 3 friends that wear the Asterisk Cell, one of them strictly snowmobile, andthey all 3 swear bythem.

Cti

This is the best braces in the world, carbon fiber and titanium with anatomic movement like the human knee.

Those CTi braces are nice, but would never pass tech in the sno-cross world

I wear evs vision's too for sledding b/c I tweaked my knee last year. Its a little bit of a trick to get them to stay up over my long johns (takes a little experimenting to get it right). Highly recomend wearing them if you've already invested.

I've got a torn ACL, have for 6 years and been wearing the DonJoy brace almost daily. It's comfy, light and works awesome !

Because there is no protection over the knee cap, if you get hit or run over, the astericks have more protection than the CTi, I'm not positive they wouldn't pass thats just my guess
