Provides Additional Stability for Older Rider
Ordered the Leatt X-Frame Knee Brace as a pair in the XL size as I seemed to be between L and XL per the sizing charts on Leatt's web site. FortNine shipped promptly and the order arrived in several days, securely shrink wrapped. The braces are very light in physical weight. Infinitely adjustable as velcro is used extensively to secure the padded parts in place. The written instructions are very clear in indicating the various adjustments that can be made for that 'custom' fit. The braces fit comfortably underneath my FOX 180 riding pant, no binding. Comfortable to wear the entire day. In use, the braces enhance my ability to move from sitting to standing/attack positions. Gripping the tank is much more secure. And when I need to plant a foot on the ground for balance or paddling purposes, I now do so confidently, knowing that my knees are less likely to be twisted or over-extended. Highly, recommended for the older rider with, perhaps, more fragile knees.

It’s worth spending more $$$
I attempted to replace my asterisk cells with these. Not even close to the same fit and finish, not to mention the overall size is huge!
I sent them back and bought pod k8’s.

I bought this brace to replace my worn out and dead Cells. Fit is great . I can fit these in my Shift Assualt pants no problem. They are my smallest leg sized pants. Not as much movement as a set of Mobius but more solid feeling, though maybe because the mobuis looks like they were build for a storm trooper .They feel solid , more solid than the Cframes. Five rides in and a buckle broke. Contacted Leatt, they told me to go through fortnine. I ordered the replacement buckle set locally got here on two days cost $50. Replacement from Leatt was over a month. Back order .I'm not sure if I tightened too much or defective buckle. Getting a pair of riding socks was an amazing bonus. All in all I'm pretty happy with them. For the price I think they offer the best bang for the buck from the braces i tried.
