[QUOTE="holyroller1, post: 170593, member: 23836"] I just recently purchased the Asterisk Cell braces. I have about 6-7 hours riding time on them. I was going to wait till I had about 10 hours before I gave a full review, but I'll share my first impressions here. I have had a bad knee since high school. So I knew if I started riding again I would have to wear braces. I decided to try the Cell's after much deliberation. I must first state that the customer service of Asterisk is as good as you will get, period. They will help you in any way possible to get you into the right braces. I spent at least an hour on the phone with them and they were more than helpful. Great people!! Here is some background info. I am about 6'1/2" tall. When I first purchased the braces I didn't think I could get braces that would fit correctly. In the last year or so I put on a LOT:scream: of weight, went from 190 in 1999 to 290 in 2001:scream:. I got down to 250 when I ordered the braces. My legs were 18 at the calf and 16 at the knee so I was on the very edge of being able to fit their large version. I decided to get them anyway because I knew I would lose the weight soon. When I got them they fit VERY tight, which was no surprise. The support was great however, even for a lard butt like myself. They even fit in my Tech 6 boots. Now about a month later I am down to 230 and the braces are fitting MUCH better. they used to pinch the fat:eek: on my leg, but now there is a lot less fat to pinch so they are much more comfy. The braces offer superb support. I now barely even recognize they are there. It is still a little awkward when I kick start the bike, but not too difficult. As far as build quality and support I give them the highest rating. As far as comfort for my fat rear I give them a high rating, but they still pinch every once in a while. Of course this will change once I lose more weight. I would have to give these braces a 9 out of 10. At any rate they are WELL worth the money. In fact as some have said they are a steal at the price they are currently at. As far as the deal they did have free ground shipping to DRN members when I bought mine. You will have to call and talk to them. [/QUOTE]
