Very Impressed

By Chris jenney February 22, 2011

After a recent ACL/MCL/etc tear in a ski accident i began looking around for knee braces. Tim Durtchi's review listed below sent me to check out asterisk, and even better backcountry.com sold it. Though I havent used the brace yet (still a few weeks till im cleared) I am very impressed by the construction, fit, feel, and comfort. This thing is built sturdy and strong, but with that it comes with an allen wrench and a ton of micro adjustments to get that custom fit that Donjoy offers, without that $1000 price tag. Once the brace is on your leg, it stays there. There is absolutely no movement, slippage, etc. The boot tether system seems unbelievable... linking your lower leg and the boot to create one solid limb sounds like the perfect solution to those twisty injuries that end so many seasons.
The package comes with 2 knee sleeves, different density foams to dial your fit/comfort, some stickers, allan wrench, and directions on how to make the whole thing work. I only picked up a right leg, but after wearing this around for a bit i might spring and get the left just in case.
