knee braces and pant choice

Who wears knee braces and in the boot pants? I have a set of asterisk knee braces that rub through pants something terrible. like 4 to 5 rides to wear holes. last pair to bite the dust was a pair of upper end thor. Interesed to hear what you have and how they hold up.

Moose Sahara pants and Leatt knee braces. No problems.

one brand i have not tried. ill take a peek. thanks

I like Moose 'cause they make sizes that fit my ass.

My Klim pants have yet to wear through. I have a pair of Thors that wore through in a day (it was a long day)


I picked them up on clearance as I'm too cheap to buy them at normal price haha.

What Klim pants do you have?

Knee braces are like boots, you have to try on a bunch and see what fits and is comfortable. I wear EVS, they are high quality, but expensive. Everyone will be different.

I have a pair each of older model Dakars (over the boot) and Mojaves (in the boot).

I mostly wear the mojaves as the foot pegs are doing a number to the dakars from being an over the boot pant.

sorry, to clarify. Looking for what you pants you use with your knee braces as i am going though pants rather quickly.

I wear pants with leather stitched in at the insides of the knees. Haven't worn through those yet.

I wear Klim Baja and Chinook in the boot pants, with my CTi knee braces and they have held up well. I wore Fly pants before that and would wear right through them. I have a pair of Moose XCR pants, that held up well, but don't fit well.

Seems Like most are either riding with the moose or Klim pants. Moose website says the have extra room in the knee area. Might have to give either a try. Have not had the Klim motorcycle gear yet but my snowmobile gloves are Klim and also my dirt backpack is Klim and both are top notch. Expensive but quality.

Klim site has non-current pants on close out, so makes them more reasonably priced.

I don't spend alot of money on any gear but ~$100 for any set of Klims' pants is worth my money ...

I wear just plain plastic guards on my knees ...

These have a slit above the knee which allows good flexibility when wearing knee braces underneath.

I wish someone around here carried Alpinestars pants I could check out. Those look good I'd like to see them in person

Using EVS under Troy Lee's GP pants. No issues and love the braces for my loose ACL's The money spent in my case was worth it. Loving this forum by the way !

Ditto on Alpine Strs, would love to have some of that gear.

Do you guys wear anything under knee pads?

Not me and I was looking at some of those recommended pants ... I like the MX type pants but I gotta have pockets unless I find a way to at-least carry my camera for easy access... I can probably deal with carring $ in my backpack.
