Thumbs up Asterisk Ultra Cell braces

Way back in 2011 I bought the Asterisk Ultra Cell knee braces.

Here's my review.
http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/sho...light=asterisk

Fast forward to Jan 2017.
I noticed the braces were a little wobbly and the extension straps were frayed.
I e-mailed Asterisk and they said they were a month out before they would have the capacity to refurbish any braces (restructuring the company).
Three weeks ago I got an e-mail saying to send them in. Long story short.
The braces were too far gone to be worth rebuilding. Would have cost $500.

They gave me a 25% discount on the new Ultra Cells. Which I bought.

I put in some hard miles with the new Cell this past Sat.
I'm even more impressed with them. I didn't realize how worn out my old braces were. My knees are totally isolated. I found myself standing a lot more.

Pros:
Excellent patella coverage.
No velcro straps. Has BOA straps.
Brace didn't migrate down.
No pinch points behind the leg.
Comes with knee socks.
More compact frame.
Several adjustment points for a custom fit to your legs.

Cons:
Price.

I know there are other braces out there. But I wanted a brace that I had a history with and excellent customer service.
