touchy subjuct

[Green Horn]

I'm calling you a liar. You said you were gonna leave and you haven't...and I just backed that up. :)

well, duh! You got something tight strapped to your leg, it's gonna slow your "straight-ahead sprint speed" and have "negative effects on performance level, leg cramping, and fatigue symptoms." Wrap an elastic band tightly around any muscle and tell me if you see anything different. It doesn't take a kinesiologist to figure that out. My feet do that when I tie my shoes too tight.

In case you missed it, the quote you referred to was not my own. It was an excerpt from a clinical study of knee braces, which I posted in its entirety. Another mod too quick to jump in my $hit. Sheesh!

As far as the original question, I've heard good things about both braces. Most guys wear Asterisk. Take it for what its worth, wear what feels best because it ain't gonna do you no good if you buy 'em and don't wear 'em because they are uncomfortable.

Which, if you read my original reply, was exactly what I said. Go figure.

 

[RADRick]

You said you were gonna leave and you haven't...

What, and deprive all these moderators of their fun? I wouldn't think of it. :rotfl:

 

[Green Horn]

Touche' :cool: :rotfl:

i do realize this is going to be a touchy subject but this is the only place i know to post this question.
has anyone riddin with or know a lot about the EVS Web brace? i am torn between the EVS and Asterisk. Any input is welcome... Thanks In Advance

if anyone is interested, this is the guy who asked for help. maybe someone with some knowledge that may be of use to him could get in here and make a contribution :cool: obviously he feels he may be of benefit from them. if i was said poster with experience one way or the other for braces i would start by getting more info from FBJ913. a good place to start may be by asking if he has a tendency to hook a toe in the ruts :moon:

Somebody else's opinion between brands is really irrelevant. Like I said, he needs to try both on and decide which is most comfortable for him. If he is concerned about the efficacy of one over the other, then his question should be directed to a doctor familiar with such devices, not to people whose recommendation is likely tainted by a need to validate their own choice. Someone using one brand is not likely to have much, if anything, to say about the other, so where's the value in their opinion?

Quote-FBJ913 wanted was a review from somebody who has used both knee braces.

Quote-Someone using one brand is not likely to have much, if anything, to say about the other, so where's the value in their opinion?

Ok we have had our fun with you and this is getting really pointless. You may leave now. :nener:

Sorry, my bad. I didn't realize you spoke for the entire forum.

Even if someone is out there that has used both braces, fitment is the most important aspect of a knee brace and only by actually trying them on can one discern which one is best for them in that regard. Someone elses opinion is irrelevant. FBJ needs to find a dealer that stocks both and try them on HIS OWN body, and not rely on another rider's opinion to make his decision. If he's looking for an opinion about the quality of manufacture or features, again, I think he'd be better served asking a health care professional and not strangers in a public forum. What about this advice do you find so objectionable? :coocoo:

i guess you dont get it do you?? more than one person is allowed to voice an opinion, right?? i like knee guards myself , someone else likes another, someone else likes another , then the original poster decides on what his priorities are then makes a better informed decision. ive read this entire thread and still have no clue as to any features or benefits of one over the other.

i can tell you that fox raptor knee guards allow my legs to breathe better, and seem less bulky than the thors i wear but the fox model breaks a button every time they touch the ground. i know theyre not braces but that is an example of a useful comparison such as the original poster may like to hear, considering BRACES

Who the F are you to tell anyone to go away? You just joined here a month ago and already you've appointed yourself a moderator? What a joke. :nener:

Knee braces aren't at all like knee guards. For one, they are VERY expensive compared to what guards cost. Taking a chance on someone's opinion could be costly. Second, a poor quality knee guard will likely do no more than cause an abrasion from poor fitment or be uncomfortable to wear. A poor fitting knee brace can do more harm than good, especially if it isn't put on properly. There's a reason many knee braces require a doctor's prescription. When I got my Cti brace they made a plaster cast of my knee in order to fabricate the brace. Yeah, the technology has improved since then, but the criticality of proper fit hasn't changed. No one else's opinion can tell you how they will fit and feel on YOUR body. If you buy something as important as protective gear based solely on someone else's opinion, you're asking for trouble. Opinions are fine, but they're no substitute for actually doing the research and trying them on for yourself.

Mod?..He!! if I was a mod I wouldnt be typing this right now..You would have been gone a while ago! SCRUB! :pissed:

 

[Green Horn]
