Knee supporting base layers

I’ve seen these products on my Instagram feed for at least two years and finally pulled the trigger. This is what I just got. There’s a thermal version similarly priced but my legs run hot.


Not sure if other brands get much cheaper, but they get a lot more expensive.


My knees feel pretty damn good, which I suspect is due to spinning keeping my legs strong. But, even some minor support sounds nice, especially for multi-day trips.

Anyone use a product like this?

Update: I’m returning them, a bit too constrictive. Also can’t have them inside ski boots and rolling them up a bit cuts circulation in the shin area.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for something to replace my medical brace. Doc says I don't need it but I would like something to support my knee. It can't drop inside the boot. The last one I cut some of the tongue out of the boot. That sucked.

I tried some compression tights and they just made my legs tired. I wear knee braces for all multi day trips. Usually don't on a single day.
