We have been using Thor AC gear for awhile. Seems like the knee area got smaller last year. What are you wearing?

I use Thor Core (both 2008 and 2009 models) and they fit great around my Asterisks. Not tight, nor too loose. My Fly 2008 set is probably the one with best space, but not as comfy as the Thor gear, (a bit heavy pants.)

I have long legs and wear braces so this is always a problem for me. Recently I tried Troy Lee GP pants and they are a god send if you wear braces and can't find pants with enough room for them.

yea the inside of the GP pants doesnt get all hung up on the knee brace straps

I have always found that Fox 360 pants have ample room in the knees.

I've been using FOX and they were the best next to the TROY LEE in quality and fit I thought, till last year i tried on some ANSWER and they had a nice amount of knee room but the pants didnt fit as well in the waist area and the zipper came apart on one pair and the vented area unraveled on the other the quality of the pants just didnt stand up but when I returned them for evaluation ANSWER stood behind their product and did give me a credit at the store. I recently tried the 2010 ONE and they have an awesome fit in the knees but the one caveat is the crotch area seems to be cut a little higher than im used to. Overall I'd have to rate the ONE up there with the TROY LEE in quality and fit but at a slightly better price.

I have never had problems with my Answer/MSR stuff, maybe you were just unlucky DCL. I have had 5 pair and they have all been great with braces My Fox and No Fear gear didnt' seem to have enough space. But thats just me.

No Fear has tons of room with knee braces and the gear lasts. Now if I could just find boots that fit well over the braces on my short legs.

[color=blue]Been running Fly for a little while & they are great. plenty of room. I do run them a size big, but I like my gear loose. Some people don't like that. lumpy, what boots are you wearing? Gaerne SG-10's have been the best fit for me...knee braces & big calves. Adjustable calf panels FTW!...//TJ [/color]

I had been running Fly Kinetic for three years and they were the best I could find for knee braces until I tried the TLD GP pants. I never liked the high waist on the Fly stuff and the short waist TLD pants fit me much better and have more room for braces.
