knee braces and pant choice

I wear the asterisk cell braces. recently upgraded to the ultra cell. problem with these is that they are bigger in circumference and there are too many knobs and adjusters on the outside, the pants liner gets caught and rips. went back to the original cells.

Been happy with Virus 3/4 compression pants as base layer ( http://virusintl.com/shop/men/compression-tech-pants-cool-jade.html ) under knee pads and Klim Baja and Chinook pants.

I might need to try these 3/4 length compression pants. I wear Under Armor compression pants currently, but they are HOT (they are a winter-type for skiing, but I repurposed them to keep my Don Joy brace from tearing my knee skin off).

I'm wearing Klim Mojave in the boot pants, and there is lots of room for the brace. HOwever, the leather panel is separating at the seam where my brace rubs. I'll need to get it sewed and maybe sew on a second leather patch that extends further foward onto the knee cap area.

Under armor makes 2 types. Cold gear for cold weather and hot gear for hot weather.

Today in 70 degrees weather, I did not even feel them on

I wear Pod 300 with Klim over the boot pants and fit is good , the liner snags the velcro straps once in a while when getting dressed .

I wear a pair of mountain biking knee warmers under the braces to prevent rubbing and have no trouble with them being to hot .

Moose Sahara here too, with EVS RS8s & fox knee brace socks.
