I have a hard time getting pants to fit over my knee braces. To make matters worse I'm 6'2" and have to pull the pants up higher on my legs and the braces are down in the ankle part of the pants. So far I've been wearing Klim Mojave pants that work but would like to find some alternatives because they only come in three colors. I tried a pair of TLD but they seemed even tighter. I have EVS knee braces if that makes a difference. I was wearing asterisk but they always wanted to slide down. The EVS do stay put even with my skinny calf muscles.
I've started to pull a brace sock over the brace and lined a small piece is leather in the brace sock where it rubs my pants. I also bought MSR NXT pants that have longer leather. And bought them in one size larger, to make sure the leather goes long enough to cover to brace fully. A bit baggy in the knee area, but I'll trade that for longer leather coverage. Seems to work okay.
Thor Prime Tach have huge leather and room for knee braces, but the upper part of the pant is very thin. Tears if you ride off road and get it some brush.
I'm all ears to better solutions as well.
