Let customers speak for us
from 1042 reviewsI really like the women's KS1 Alpine. The drawstring waist is great! I found the tight elastic waist of the KXV, especially after 12 hours, to be uncomfortable. The knee compression for both is fantastic though. I've ditched my cumbersome knee braces!
I am over 70 ..34-36 waist
Had knee and hip replacement a year ago and two ACL repairs several years back
I took a leap of faith two years ago and purchased two pair size Large, KX2 Alpine for ski season and one pair of KX1 for summer activities. Both provide great knee support,but waist gets pulled down with activity.
This year I bought a pair of Redline hockey and one pair of KX2 Alpine.. elected to go to XL with much better results of waist not pulling down with aggressive activity
Would be nice if the Redline hockey style had the Alpine insulation option.
Alpine variety XLarge definitely making my ski season more enjoyable this year
LESSON LEARNED GOES UP A SIZE HIGHER than personal standard
The KX2 alpine pants provided both the compression and support required for me to dog sled 6-8 hours for 4 days straight in sub 20 degree temperatures. If you have had knee surgery (meniscus removal and patella sculpting in my case), I highly recommend them for winter activities.
I absolutely love my bracelayer. I am a 52 year old gymnastics coach. I wear them to work. I now own three pair. I have a 30 inch waist and have sized up every time I have purchased a pair. I find XL fits my waist the best.
Most excellent!!! Why would i buy a second pair if they didn’t work. Really help my knees, never get cold and just great!!!
I love these compression tights. After knee surgery a year ago I have been reluctant to push myself during workouts due to fear of knee re-injury. With these tights my knee is supported while I get it stronger and I’m able to push myself without fear.
This is my third pair of bracelayer pants. I have a thermal pair for skiing that keep me warm and help to extend the number of mogul runs I can do in a day. The other pair I use for basketball which I play 3 times a week for an hour. The new pair for cycling I have used 4 or 5 times now for spin class and they work great. I don't have to worry about knee braces sliding down and they provide all the support I need
She loves her other pair....Co-Director ski school-- on snow 16 hours a day cold environment. ACL repaired and thermal brace layer is helping.
OMG i ordered these on the off chance that they would work and today i got to wear them without a knee brace which made me super nervous but OMG these are wonderful. i ordered two more pair.. and one lightweight one ill wear under skirts.. THANK YOU ...
Awesome support. I ski almost everyday day all winter long. This sort of support allows me to keep moving day after day with minimal muscle fatigue. I also bought a pair for my wife (women’s large), but I should have bought medium instead. She hasn’t worn them except to try them on. What is the exchange process?
I love the pants. They are thick so hot when playing hockey. I do have a hard time understanding which size pants to purchase since I am a female hockey player.
I started with 1 pair to try out. Now I own 3 pairs and will buy another one. I was wearing a knee brace for when I workout, martial arts, or bike riding. I was always having to readjust. Now I get the support I need, without having to readjust all the time.
I received my KX2 Alpine bracelayer pants recently. I have been enjoying them on the ski slopes. The Northeast mountains have been quite cold; I was surprised the KX2 kept me very warm in the frigid temps. I will be ordering again, as I ski very often.
I normally wear medium, the medium fit me perfectly!
Happy with my purchase.
I skied today with my bracelayer pants on and they feel so good. Tore an ACL years ago but with the built in support my knee feels good. Don’t need the compression knee brace over my base layer anymore!
I purchased these a couple of years ago and they restored my ability to walk without pain. I have some of each style including the bike pants. I wear them snorkeling, walking and bike riding.
I highly recommend them.
