• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Who wears knee braces and in the boot pants? I have a set of asterisk knee braces that rub through pants something terrible. like 4 to 5 rides to wear holes. last pair to bite the dust was a pair of upper end thor. Interesed to hear what you have and how they hold up.
 
My Klim pants have yet to wear through. I have a pair of Thors that wore through in a day (it was a long day)


I picked them up on clearance as I'm too cheap to buy them at normal price haha.

Knee braces are like boots, you have to try on a bunch and see what fits and is comfortable. I wear EVS, they are high quality, but expensive. Everyone will be different.

sorry, to clarify. Looking for what you pants you use with your knee braces as i am going though pants rather quickly. :)
 
I wear Klim Baja and Chinook in the boot pants, with my CTi knee braces and they have held up well. I wore Fly pants before that and would wear right through them. I have a pair of Moose XCR pants, that held up well, but don't fit well.
 
Seems Like most are either riding with the moose or Klim pants. Moose website says the have extra room in the knee area. Might have to give either a try. Have not had the Klim motorcycle gear yet but my snowmobile gloves are Klim and also my dirt backpack is Klim and both are top notch. Expensive but quality.

Klim site has non-current pants on close out, so makes them more reasonably priced.

I don't spend alot of money on any gear but ~$100 for any set of Klims' pants is worth my money ...

I wear just plain plastic guards on my knees ...
 
Using EVS under Troy Lee's GP pants. No issues and love the braces for my loose ACL's The money spent in my case was worth it. Loving this forum by the way !

Ditto on Alpine Strs, would love to have some of that gear.
 
I wear the pod K300 knee braces and love them. Sometimes forget I have them on while walking around. Just bought a new pair of One industries pants so I can't give any feedback on wear.

Do you guys wear anything under knee pads?

Not me and I was looking at some of those recommended pants ... I like the MX type pants but I gotta have pockets unless I find a way to at-least carry my camera for easy access... I can probably deal with carring $ in my backpack.
