The last post on this product was 2008 but no one had any experience with the product.  Anyone out there with some info?

If your knees are bad enough to need some sort of brace, there are proven options available but you should consult with an orthopedic surgeon about the best option for you.  Buying something that gives you what may be a false sense of security is not a good idea.

Thank you mtcyclist - I am an orthopedic specialist myself and have been through several years of diagnosis, treatment and physical therapy!  My problem is not the need for bracing as instability is not the problem - but relief from repetitive stress on the knee joint due to degenerative changes.  This product "promises" a 33% reduction in this type of stress as the product is essentially a shock absorber.  They have a money back (almost all of it anyway) program to try it out.  A couple of good reports from expert skiers using it in off piste, cruddy conditions.  I'm game - nothing to lose, a lot to gain!

There is another product you should check, made or at least developed at Vail IIRC.  Unfortunately I don't know what it's called.  There are two rods that go from your hip to the back of the boot(I think).  Maybe someone else knows the name of it.  I know a PSIA Level 3 who uses it.  I'll send her an email.
