Bought these to minimize the width and exoskeletal feel of the Alpinestars dual axis. The TP's cut off almost an inch on the insides. I certainly feel "freer". Not as much protection from impact as the plastic unit, which is a thing for a guy with a micro-fracture repair in his knee. I swear, my replacement knee, fought off for over twenty years, will have protection surgically built-in lol
Not at all! These fit just right. The pods are wider around the knee whereas these fit tighter and are more of a sleeve. I have actually since decided to sell my knee braces.
I tore my ACL in Washougal whoops wear Asterisk Ultra Cell with the BOA system. IMO all depends on the crash. That said, I do not have these, but I do wear less restrictive knee pads/braces because I feel like I can move better.
@@jcleveland414able Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you already back on the bike! :-) I have bought Asterisk Carbon Cell (still using only for rehabilitation) To be honest I tried the ultra cell as well in different sizes, but did not feel that good, the Carbon Cell fit way better, no empty space - less risk. I am going to use the anti rotation tether and hopefully the risk of this injury will be on the minimum level. In the beginning of shopping of course I wanted to go on cheaper wayâĶ

how about a test of the TP199 elbow guards?
i hear the sizing is tricky and to get bigger than you think. which is simple as there are only two sizes.
thank you for your awesome input on this product.
I wear them, they are great.
Best knee guards on the market ððž
What size do you wear mate? I am 5â11 and 75KG so I am not if I go S/M or L/XL?
Broke my knee cap in half wearing these. Had surgery, 2 rods and wire to put my knee cap back together. Iâd never wear them again
holy shit. What happened? o.O
Do these dip into your boots? I have no extra room in the top of my boots
Would you say they are more bulky than the pods?

The Pods are a real brace, this ones are a neopren sleve inside a "normal" kneepad. I have both but prefer the feeling with the TPs.
Comfortable and not bulky knee guardâĶbut unfortunately I torn my ACL when I was wearing these:(
