Sizing:

To ensure proper fit, circumference measurements should be taken directly on the skin with the leg straightened, using a soft tape measure. (If soft tape measure is not available, a piece of string or yarn may be used to calibrate the leg’s diameter.) Locate the middle of the kneecap and measure around the leg. Measurements should be taken directly on the skin with a straight leg.

The sock/sleeve combinations simplify the process but oftentimes cause the brace to slip based on the sock design. After much research and noticing a rise in demand, Asterisk decided to design a knee brace pant that enhances comfort, performance and can be used with any brand of knee brace.

Asterisk Zero G Performance Knee Brace Pants were born out of a need for those who require the best performance and comfort from their knee braces. The pant envelops the knee brace, which allows it to keep the brace in place utilizing compression from the hips. The over-sleeve in the pant was designed to seal the brace into the pocket with a VELCRO® brand enclosure located at the thigh. The pants also compress any brace portions that may typically get caught or snagged on the internals of a moto pant. This design makes it easy to slide the pants over the knee brace and also allows the brace to move without restraint under the pants. Additionally, the pants feature a Cordura Built-in Gear Guard and Anti-Rotation Tether Slots.

Features:

• Designed to maximize comfort and performance of any knee brace
• Helps keep knee brace in place utilizing compression
• Prevents snagging of moto pants for easy, quick gear set changes
• Compatible with any brand of knee brace

Sizing Based on Waist Measurement:
