This year I switched back to a brace style Knee and Shin guard from a basic pad. Just like before my inner knees are bruised and super tender after a couple of sessions. What do you all use under yours?

I use socks with a sewn in knee brace sleeves, which seem to help out quite a bit. I wish Stance still offered them, but I now have some EVS ones that I like a lot. 100% and I’m sure a couple others make some as well. Before getting them, I was concerned about air flow and getting too hot, but they breathe really well.

I use Moleskin sheets along with my knee brace sleeves,they work great, you can use them 2 or 3 times
before the adhesive gives out,the only thing that sucks is the first time you use them some adhesive
stays on you leg,its sorta a pain to get off but it worth it to save your skin.

Why do these braces give you bruises?

I wear Pod knee braces... My legs don’t bruise... have you tried fitting thicker rubbers/ foam against your leg? sometimes if I tighten the straps too tight, I will get some muscle irritation but it goes away before the next ride. Knee braces suck.... knee injuries suck...

It sounds like your braces don't fit you properly.

I use the CTI/Ossur neoprene sleeves, either 1/8 or 1/4” thick. I touch warm in summer, but good comfort
