I am able to ski longer each day and actually add ski days during a week. I found I had almost no quad burn after skiing hard all day. Not the case when I don't wear them. Try them and you will see.

I bought these based on a recommendation from a friend. As a volunteer for an organization that provides opportunities for participants that require adaptive skiing equipment, I need full knee support. I wore them 5 times this year and they definitely provided the support I was looking for. My Stoko's give me the confidence to provide tethering support for adaptive skiing participants.
I highly recommend them.

I am 57 and have painful osteoarthritis in my knees. With the Stoko leggings I am able to play softball, up to 10 games a week. I wouldn’t be able to do that without them. The pain is manageable with the support of the Stoko leggings. I have 2 pair. Well with the price!

I like how the tights feel and they seem to help reduce the chances of re-triggering IT band tendonitis after skiing. It's nice that they loosen up to get on after a few uses while the cable system means they can always be as supportive as the first use every time.

I had three knee surgeries in four years and tried the Stoko pants. They helped me ski over 400,000 feet in 15 days during which I turned 66 years old. I highly recommend them!

I was having so much trouble with me knees, hip and lower back that I was on the verge of quitting running. As a last chance I tried this product and it really does work. It's not instantaneous, the first few times I used them I wasn't sure if they were helping. But I stuck with it and have found they do make a real difference. The amount of pain I have is vastly reduced, now instead of thinking about quitting I think about building myself back up.

While skiing in December 2023 I took an awkward fall and ended up with a tibia plateau fracture. It was a classic case of slow backward twisting fall where the binding doesn’t release resulting in this type of fracture and very often an ACL tear. I was wearing my Stokos at the time. During physical therapy I was told by my therapist that he had never encountered this type of fracture without ligament damage. I am 100% convinced that this was due to the Stokos. I will never ski without them.

All - I just had my right knee replaced in September and the women's pants for winter were the best. Originally I ordered a medium but due to my height at 5'10 and long legs the medium did not work. Stoko accepted my return and I re-ordered a large. I received just before going to Utah for 5 days of skiing and they were amazing. My legs felt strong and I did not have any swelling!. They are challenging when you first put on but then you get used to them or they get used to you....

I’ve skied for 50 years, tore my right ACL 20+ years ago and have osteoarthritis in both knees. These Stoko pants are the best knee support I’ve ever had and I’ve tried many styles/ types of braces! I think orthopedic doctors should weigh this option for other 74 year olds with knee pain who want to stay active with skiing and pickleball.

I was skeptical to say the least and the 60 trial was what got me to order Stokos. I'm a convert! These supportive tights have literally changed a persistent injury to my knee into one that is almost healed.

The first day on the slopes wearing my Stoko I noticed that the pain in my patella was worsening after about two hours skiing. I pulled up the cables, and tightened the dials and felt immediate pressure to my knee and the pain immediately subsided. I skied for another couple of hours pain free and when I got them off about 90 minutes later there was still no pain in my knee. It's as if the tights had actually made some kind of adjustment to my knee and the way I was using it and there was literally no pain for the next three days!

Yes, I was skeptical! But I was also desperate to find a solution that could keep me active, out of pain and much needed knee support.
I will say you can’t give up on the first time you put them on. It’s like buying a great pair of boots and at first a bit wonder if they fit properly. Just watch what is provided and take your time and you will be amazed!
The first time was difficult because they fit different than regular tight leggings, but when all the tweeks you are patient with make you feel amazing being able to adjust in all areas! Finally I felt all put together. The quality and performance of these are beyond a 10. I only wish I would have found them sooner.
Now when I put them on it’s easier as all of the cords have adjusted to my body so the struggle is no more and NO they don’t stretch out they just magically know your body!
I believe in praise of a product and their maker when it’s warranted. I’m a brutally honest reviewer so believe me when I say. These will get you back feeling like you haven’t felt in a very long time! Well worth the $ on a spectacular product!

I purchased a pair of Stoko‘s last year after my knee surgery, I’m a skier. What a fantastic investment in myself and my knee because my recovery has been much faster and my confidence has grown with the use of my Stoko. They’re comfortable. I’m just a little slimmer in the ankle so there’s a small bit of gathering that I’m learning each time I wear them to make better adjustments. I’ll test driving them under my ski clothes this coming week! I’m excited that I won’t have the big bulky brace on my knee anymore. Still want to follow through with my ortho doctor to see if I can be reimbursed for my Stoko through my insurance. I’m open to investing in a second pair!

I've had back issues for years and never found a brace that works well. After injuring my knee, I got a pair of Stoko's and found that the back support was great in addition to the knee support.

So this 61 year young guy needed
knee support and got it with my Stoko's. My 3rd pair...the original K1, now the 2nd Gens...and the Merinos. I feel supported, confident and comfortable. Break-in time is consuming but worth it. Whether skiing, pickleball or golf when walking Bethpage Black...they are excellent. This Elder Statesman needed some help, wasn't afraid to ask, and received. Thank you Stoko. Much appreciated!!!

This is the 3rd pair I buy. Skied 6 days in a row. Wouldn't have been able to do it without the Stoko. Fits better than the first pair I bought.
