Astrisk... But those are about 600$ a pair... OR CTI braces but those require doctors perscription. So alot of money or really mess up your knee and have insurance pay for it.

don joys suck and they are 800 plus for one. i skied with asterisk braces all last year and they were legit as fuck. the only thing is you might have to do a little adjusting to the bottom of the brace, but its no big deal, plus there 600 for a pair, way better for the wallet

CTi-2  anything else is less.  If your knee is totally trashed, get the piston that attaches from the brace to your boot.

Agreed,  the CTi-2 brace requires a doctors perscription.  Your leg is molded and that mold is sent to the factory where they make the brace out of Carbon Fiber.  It fits perfectly and is as lightweight and strong as it gets.
