Had a grade 3 MCL tear about 6 weeks ago, bought one of these: www.mxstore.com.au/p/POD-K8-Carbon-Blue-RIGHT-Knee-Brace/PDK8012017-c

Went for first downwinder since tearing it 3 days ago, gives great support which in turn give confidence. Have done another 2 downwinders since, got a lot of missed sessions to make up....

+1 for these. I come from racing motocross and they are great. Just take all that knee padding out

Cti custom are one of the best, but you pay for it. Get a letter from your surgeon to say you need it and you should get some cash back if you have private health.

Donjoy, They make a Aircraft alloy type and a full carbon. I have the first one and they are really good.

I also use a set of donjoy braces and like the fit of them.
