[QUOTE="b-b00gie, post: 507791, member: 33099"] I'm a potential buyer but have some questions... I've been thinking of getting some knee "pads", but I'm wondering if the Asterisk knee "braces" are worth the purchase. I'm not implying that the braces are not worth the price tag. I simply mean whether I can justify the cost difference for my intended use. I guess I should explain... I've taken a few spills where I've slammed my knees on the ground or on my bike. Its resulted in some nasty bruises and some swelling. It usually heals pretty quickly. I have no problems with the functionality of my knees. I would not say that I need (at least not yet :) ) "bracing" to support my knee. I am mainly looking for something to absorb the occasional impact to my knee cap. I know the Asterisk Cell's offer a lot of support and bracing, but protection over the knee cap seems to be as thick as any other knee "pads" which sell for $80-$100. How bulky are the braces? I'm concerned about them restricting my movement. I'm pretty thin and need to be as comfortable as possible to muscle my bike around (or at least try to!) Should I go for the Cells? Is the extra $420 justifiable in my case? Or are these "braces" better for people who have problematic knees? Please educate me, this is a pretty large investment. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
