I have been in the Asterisk Carbon Cell 1 since the beginning of the year and truly wish I had these prior to knee surgery. They are so light weight and thin and after a long day of riding (track and trails) I hardly even notice that they are there. Also they are all American made (you don't see that...

I recommend the Carbon Cells from Asterisk. After trying on multiple different brands (non-custom), Asterisks have always been the most comfortable and gives you that custom brace feel without the expensive price tag. Even though any knee brace can be pricey, it is definitely cheaper than a knee surgery and going through rehab (been there and done that). After having...

Need to get a script from your doctor and double-triple check to make sure your insurance covers knee braces. If you're planning to spend your own money, Ossur/ CIT are a medical device company. They're custom fit to you which means the work to your body geometry and kinematics. If you want a cheaper alternative, look to Asterisk. Just be sure to try on any off the shelf brace before you buy. Not all braces will work with you and fit comfortably. An uncomfortable brace is a brace you probably won't wear.

Agree on the CTI Custom braces, as they will be your best bet. Without insurance, you’re looking at $1750 per brace, I believe. My insurance covered mine, after I wrecked them both in a crash. It’s been 15 years and they have been replaced by several different brands of knee braces in the last 10 years. I’ve used EVS Carbon, Mobius, Asterisk cell, Asterisk Ultra Cell and most recently the Asterisk Carbon braces. I can say without a doubt, the new Carbon braces are the lightest, most comfortable knee braces I’ve ever worn. At $799, they are a little pricey...

I was experiencing the same thing with the BOA system. I could never get them to fit properly. i did send them in to get the Ultra Cell 2.0 liners on them and it definitely did help as well. However I just purchased a set of the new Carbon Cells from Asterisk through my HSA account and ABSOLUTELY love them...
