I have used 100% Rev Knee Brace socks for the last decade and really liked them. It seems they are no longer making them and all the available stock is S/M. I know other companies make tall socks but I’m curious if anyone has anything comparable to the 100% Rev socks. Any suggestions or recommendations?
I used to wear Stance tall knee brace socks and loved them but can't find them anymore. Since I have tried various Fly, EVS, Fox, and Klim tall socks and all but the Klim actually feel really similar with no clear favorite. I have two pairs of the Klim Aggressor 2.0 socks and really like them especially for warmer weather. They also are a touch smaller sized and don't seem to slide around or down as much especially when I wear them long days offroad. The others may fit better for that if I were to try downsizing but work ok for track days.
Another option I just recently tried was going with a compression pant and then just rocking regular moto socks. Sidi used to make the most comfortable low sock out there, but am trying a new set of Alpinestars and they seem fine. This may not be the ticket in warmer weather though.
Those Stance socks were pricey but also very nice. Haven’t seen those in a long time.
I currently use Ethika and they are very similar to the Fox ones I have used in the past. Nice thick lower sock and thin stocking with ventilation on the back side.

I third the compression pants and normal socks. It’s the best way to go
Iv used leatt knee brack socks for a long time & really liked them. However i bought a new pair about 6 weeks ago & there terrible! The band at the top is super tight & cuts off your circulation. I thought it might loosen up after a moto but i had to stop & take them off. Iv reported it twice to leatt to see if it was a manufacture fault or if thats the way they are now. But i havnt had a response yet.
Regular socks combined with knee sleeves are another option. Can still run a cycling bib for long days in the saddle.
I run the Asterisk knee brace pants, big fan and they’ve tremendously helped reduced or stop my knee braces from falling or moving out of place. Otherwise compression pants and tall moto socks is my next best option
Stance as well. They are fantastic. And I’ve tried many others. Too bad I can’t find the Stance anymore.
I'll 4th this!
Alpinestars Long Tech MX sock, I have like 5 pair and they never wear out. Silicon at the top to keep them up. Thinner breathable in front and behind the knee. Super thick footbed so they hold up forever. I've tried the 100% and they don't breath well at all. I literally wore them once and gave them away. I've tried a few other randoms over the years and always go back to these.
E bike guys swear by these.
I second this. These are my favorite I've ever worn.
Ordered two pairs. Thanks for the suggestion.

Stance made great socks, I didn’t realize they quit selling them. Roczen was sponsored by them, I wonder what he’s using now.
FXR is going to be selling them soon, they look pretty flashy, but so do the Stance…

Stance still sells regular casual socks, it's all I wear, but the moto socks have been MIA for a while now.
Stance over the calf socks.
Another vote for compression pants and stance moto socks!

Fist Handwear socks are by far the best ive ever used. Ive never had any bad feedback, were released to over the gap left by stance. Tommy Searle uses these by choice, along with a number of other top level riders

Stance.
Ethika are good too and they sometimes have really good deals (check on April 1st), but Stance are the best
Ive had the cheap Oneal ones and honestly those are the easiest to put on and off and have held up good but they are a little looser in the spandex area than id like but doesnt seem to cause any chafing.
I use the 100% ones a lot too but man they are hard to get the sock portion on my size 12 feet, especially if its summer time and my feet are a little sweaty from wearing shoes all day its a pain in the ass.
I've tried multiple different socks before going to the Asterisk zero-G pants. They are without doubt the best solution for keeping knee braces in place. I've gotten 3+ years (~200 hours bike time) out of my current pair. They (and the braces) are about due for replacing though.
I’ve been using the Rocky Mtn ones for many years. Often you can catch them on sale for even cheaper. Cheers

Whatever is onsale on RMATV. I seem to go through socks quickly for some reason, so I don't spend a ton of money on them. I do like my MOBIUS compression sleeves, but I end up with these little line of blisters on my shin where the silicone grip is.

I've been using Fly for a few years. My toe is starting to poke a hole in the sock, so I'll probably just get another pair of the same.
I used the ethika moto socks for awhile. Recently switched over to their 3/4 tight and crew sock combo, more comfy for me.
I second this suggestion, you can buy 3 pair for the price of Alps or some others and they lost a long time.
I’m probably around the same amount of usage and I’m near ready for replacement as well. Some wear holes near the hinges
From any of the moto socks like the Fly racing or 100% ones that have the rubberized ring at the top to help hold them up, does that thing give anyone a rash? I get the gnarliest itchy raised red line around my thigh from that gripper on all these socks. My older TLD, alpinestars and evs never had this. I find these new ones i have to fold the socks back down over the brace or for a week i have red rings around my thighs!
