Have enjoyed wearing them on my days off for support due to a back injury on the tennis court....
Just wished they had at least 1 pocket 2 would b ideal....
So if wearing for tennis now have to wear shorts over the pants....
It looks funny but pockets are a must for tennis 🎾
Other than that I do appreciate the ajustable compression. Thx

I am extremely committed to my Fluxes, so much so that I hiked the collegiate loop in the collegiate peaks wilderness using only them.

I wore my stokos every single day, over the entire 160+ mile hike. The support they provided was incredible. Steep climbs are great when you have the support these provide, but going down steep descents are absolutely hell on the knees. I would tighten those knobs up to the support I need. When I start down, the tights just work their way into the support level needed. On the flats, I just popped those knobs out. And they would relax.

I was worried about taking them off at night. They are like a second skin and there is not a great deal of room in a tent. But they peeled off like they do normally. I kept them warm in sleeping bag footbox and they went on in the morning without difficulty. (Note these were well broken in already, so the cuffs could be spread easily to slip on over the heel)

Surprisingly, they’re incredibly durable. I did not baby them. I was on my knees cooking, setting up tents, or sitting on rocks and sticks. Not a single tear or run.

I was worried that my backpack would push against the knobs and make them uncomfortable. Or cause the knobs to bend or break. But ultimately, the knobs created a little ledge that kept the backpack from slipping down to the butt (which can happen when losing weight on the trail.)

This is colorado monsoon season. I rarely wore my rain paints because these felt like they had a DWR finish. Don’t even know if they do, but who cares. Seems like they did.

Smell. You would think that these things would stink. Everything else did. Typically after 14 days in the backcountry, everything smells like my a**. But these smelled the least. How is that possible. I don’t want to go into it, but they should have just smelled awful, but of all my gear, they held up the best.

I thought I would boil in the black leggings. But the venting was great. Worked well to keep my legs cool when moving. I will acknowledge, sitting in the sun on a mountain top, the black soaked up the heat. But nothing is perfect. I just covered them with a white t-shirt and everything was fine.

I chose the full length leggings for this trip (as opposed to the hikers) for protection against ticks. But the side benefit was the mosquitos didn’t have much success sucking blood through the fabric.

I was a little concerned about the pee hole. Walking around in public I wore shorts over them. Which is just a waste of weight. So after a while, I didn’t care and didn’t wear the shorts. Just threw them in a hiker box along the way. I will say, my um, equipment is too difficult to pull through all the underwear and then the pee hole so I never used the pee hole. Just tugged them down.

For pooping in the woods, it takes a little more time to peel these back. So planning in advance was needed.

I would have preferred no Pee hole. And a phone pocket. I have the other K1’s with the pocket, but they’re 3/4 length and I wanted full coverage for this trip. Besides those are for pickle ball.

Got my ortho to rx the stokos and insurance paid for them. How wonderful.

It is rare that everything goes as it should. But Everything was as it should be.

I remain a huge fan.

I received my pair of Men's K1 Flux about a month ago. I am 6 ft tall and 190 lb. I ordered the Large and found them slightly loose in the waist after a few times wearing them. Since Stoko offered an exchange at no cost I asked for the Medium size which I received. They are tight but very wearable and I love the support they provide. Maybe in time different sizes will be available (like halfway between medium and large).
I have a knee replacement and osteoarthritis and have tried several different braces. This product has given me the best support to date providing me confidence to do more things that I enjoy.

I sprained my left knee playing hockey last year. After missing two-and-a-half months, I came back on the ice wearing a hinged brace. I had been also been wearing a compression brace on my right knee after hurting that knee years ago. I'm known as a grinder/plumber on the ice. That damn hinged brace made me slower and very uncomfortable on the ice. Enough. A friend of mine told me about Stoko. To be honest, the price point was quite intimidating. But you know what? I need to enjoy my time on the ice. So I took the plunge and bought a pair. Best. Investment. Ever. People were noticing that I was moving faster on the ice. I felt more confident on the ice. I was getting to open spaces faster. I was having fun for the first time in almost six months, actually for the first time in a long time. Maybe that SOB who hurt my knee (he was playing recklessly) did me a favor. I love these so much that I bought another pair as I play 4x/week. Wash one, wear one. Whoever invented these things should get a medal. I can't play without my Stokos! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I got the Flux for skiing instead of the Summit. I skied it in 17 degrees and it wasn't a problem. Did not have other under garments on at the time. The work, support of knees and I think other parts like hips and whatnot. I personally would get the Flux for skiing. Plenty warm enough unless it gets real cold. I also skied it in spring conditions and it wasn't too hot. They are great until you have to take a poop. Real pain then.
