Stoko Knee brace compression tights

[cantunamunch]

I broke most of my lower leg and also got a second knee replacement. I did purchase an iKon pass and hope to ski next season. I'm seriously considering this brace.

Eh, I have a 2-shipping-box-full collection by now. Braces are a bit like skis - very few are true all-arounders and no amount of online "information" will compensate for trying a particular one yourself.

@cantunamunch I have several braces in the bottom of my closet as well. None of them are serious braces to support my seriously injured lower leg. I would love to hear your recommendations as well but will not purchase anything until I am ready to try it out.

Frankly, I realized yesterday that my leg is still swollen and I cannot measure it accurately for a ski brace to be used in December.

I am a bit of a Breg fanboi - they had the best options for ski and skate support with rigid exo frames and flex angle limiters and comfy but sturdy condyle pads. Of course they were horrible for bike use, so I eventually bought from Donjoy and Mueller also.

And yes, swelling is a huge factor in fit.

Not tried those, but I do have a McDavid Maximum Support Knee Brace with Hinges (429X). Compression and Stability Straps for ACL, LCL, Arthritis, Tendonitis, MCL, Patella. which I bought on Amazon for $59.99. Works really well for skiing this last season while recovering from my broken lower leg and the stresses being exerted on my knee.
The item the OP listed seems like a lot of money.

I'm starting to look at Knee braces. Are you still happy with your McDavid?

Yes, although I would say that my leg has healed enough that I don't need to use it as often now. But I would absolutely recommend it based on my positive experience over many months, not just for skiing but for other activities etc.

Another bump... I'm curious too.
