Lace me up…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As you may remember I was big on the EVS Web<\/a> a few days ago. My knees simply need more protection than my current brace (the McDavid PS II<\/a>) can provide. Not that it isn’t a good brace, it is… but in a contact sport it simply is not going to protect me the way I need it too. By the way, I have a gallery of off the shelf armor available<\/a>, including some cool customized EVS Webs.<\/p>\n

I still like the thing, but fate may have intervened. See, the order didn’t happen fast enough and the price was wrong. The brace would have cost me $478 with shipping for one unit and I can get it on the web for $350 with overnight shipping – so I am going it alone and picking them up myself. While calling around for prices one of the men I spoke too mentioned I look into the Asterisk<\/a>, so I did. <\/p>\n

I was sucked into what may be one of the great conflicts of our day (excluding the [[e2n:385824|Emacs \/ Vi]] thing).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pictured above you see the Asterisk Cell which is for all intents and purposes the only real competition to the EVS Web or perhaps I should say it the other way around because it seems a lot more folks use the Asterisk than the EVS. Now, the Asterisk Cell’s come as a pair<\/b><\/i> for $550… so that’s a factor. There seem to be a few pro’s and con’s.<\/p>\n
