Troy Lee Designs Motocross Protection 6400 Knee Braces Pair - Black

Great fit, comfortable and great protection, They work great for me and my knees have had plenty of injury's I have owned higher cost Knee braces that my knees could not handle the angle and the more stress they put on them. The 6400 are great for me to keep me sound and completive !

I've been wearing the Alpinestars SX01 knee guards for a couple years, but after a couple fast dabs, I felt it was time to upgrade to a proper set of knee braces. However, after trying on the Leatt C Frame, Leatt Z Frame, Mobius X8, and Alpinestars Fluid Pro, I learned that I am ever so slightly bow legged and struggled to get any of them to fit comfortably. I finally stumbled upon these and they did the trick. They are essentially Shock Doctor's 875 knee brace with a patella guard. They seem to stabilize the knee enough to deter twisting, but they don't offer nearly the same hyperextension support as the aforementioned braces I tried. The sleeve design is very comfortable, more a like a traditional athletic knee brace, but I foresee them being very hot in the summer. All in all, they are a significant upgrade from a knee guard, but I still wouldn't qualify them as a full-blown knee brace. Also - if you're in between sizes, go a size up.
