hey guys,

i'm looking to get into motocross, but my knees are torn to shit from my time in the Marines. i need something that has a built in knee pad too. ive currently got a donjoy armor brace for the left and a fusion for the right. the little knee/shin pad for the armor doesnt protect anything, and anytime i hit my knee when i'm riding my friends bike its pretty brutal, so decent padding at least for the left knee is a must.

preferably not to bulky either. ive read some reviews on the alpinestars brace, but they were very mixed, and the other braces i've found look pretty bulky. any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Dave

CTi is the best (of course, in my opinion!)

I have tested most of the CTi, donjoys, evs web, and asterisk knee braces. The asterisk is the best off the shelf brace that I have used. They have a ton of adjustability, are bullet proof and have a full knee cup... Great product and price!

CTi is the best but you'll still have to add padding if you want to protect the area just above the kneecap. I use a cut down hip pad to protect that area.
