What brand pants have roomy knees still? Pants are trending towards tighter. Always liked TLD, how are knees on '18 stuff?
The Shop
I currently have shift gear and while a little tighter, they fit well with my knee braces and they also have a leather knee patch on the side that contacts your bike so they don't get blown out super fast like the Answer stuff did.
I went out and got O'Neal Mayhem Lite pants and jerseys. A lot more room in the pants (in all area's) and they are working out well so far. Jerseys breath well too and I'm happy so far.
But both companies do a great job and produce quality products.
I have difficulties to see how any modern pants wouldn't fit you. Just go up one size, every company makes pants with room for braces these days.
Just because the gear brands have started to make slimmer gear doesn't mean that the knee brace area is smaller than before. Fox Flexair are like yoga pants but they have lots of space in the knee area + the material stretches like crazy.
With that said. Take a look at the cheaper Alpinestars Racer line. They feel bigger than most other pants in the knee area and the durability is very good.
