I've been lookin at EVS braces.......any one in particular that you'ld recomend?

 

EVS WEB are the most protection ever...don't have to worry at all. (I had 2 ACL Reconstructions)
All the other EVS Braces are good - ok based on the level of protection.

I HAVE WEB...and they are SICK! Protection...mobility take a bit getting use to but when you do it's acceptable...but I always tell everyone you should be wearing something knee/shin..

I use to have asterick and they are good, but I broke them 2 times and asterick is not very customer friendly!!!

EVS is the way to go and the only motorcycle option really...other than asterick!

 

Thanks Frankie. I'll look into 'em. Ever hear anything about the PODmx brace?

 

No! I'll look them up.

They look very somilar to the EVS WEB! The straps look like a copy of a BREGG Otothopedic brace that break off with hard hits.

The overall design looks pretty good but I don't like the straps! Evs are similar but look better than the POD. I still like EVS but the POD looks very similar.

 

Thanks, bro! You sound quite experienced w/ these, so as of now.....an EVS Web is at the top of the list!

 

2 knee reconstructions will do that! EVS is my choice!

 

i rock the evs vision braces when i race mx, i got sick of twistin my knees up every weekend and im not balla enuf to spend 600-700 on 2 braces so i got the visions, they are only $230 for a pair and they are left and right knee specific. i cant even tell i have them on when im racing. my buddy spent 300 on a pair of 661's and they were universal knee ones and they sucked ***. they dug into your leg non stop. if you got the money then buy the webs but if your on a budget check out the visions...they are sick....while on the subject of protection, has anyone seen anyone rocking a leatt brace while stunting? i dont know how necessary they are but im sure they wouldnt hurt to wear one

 

I've got a asterisk knee brace and i love it!!! it's like there is nothing there and i had an evs before and i've broken 2 of them racing motocross i hav'nt broken any of the asterisk yet and the pivot in the brace is weightless not draggy like the evs. My buddy has a extra left knee brand new in the box if you want it? I have to call and ask him how much but it will for sure be cheaper than a new one.

 

here is some pics of me wearing mine, i don't have any pics of the brace just some of me wearing mine.






i wear my knee brace for every thing including toe drag to 50-50, sit down to 50-50, podium's, and blindsides and if you can wear the knee brace for that you can wear it for anything on a stunt bike.

 

I don't know how serious of a brace you want but I just started riding with a set of Answers with the floating knee pad. Cheap ($60) compared to a full out brace. Ive not been down on them yet but jumped to the ground just to test them and the seem to work well.

 

Well......Frankie has broken an Asterisk twice, while you've broken EVS twice. Which model EVS did you break? I'm sure all braces have their vulnerabilities. What size is your buddies? I'm pretty sure I'll need XL.....that seems to be my size in EVS, atleast. How much?

 

evs braces r the ****

 

I broke 2 asterick and the customer service was garbage and it was never fixed.
If I actually broke it riding I would understand but one I broke adjusting it because it fit like **** and the other I was putting on and the knee support pad just ripped off the carbon.

EVS Awesome customer service and no issues yet!:YEAH

 

Alright....I'm going w/ the EVS Web. You've had good experience w/ it Frankie, and everything I read in reviews points to the Web. I'm on it!

 

if you have medical insurance then go to your doctor and have them give you a referral to sports medicine and they will custom make one for you. depending on your coverage they should cover close to 100% of the cost. im having mine made after in a couple weeks.
