A base layer with built-in knee support.
They call it Supportive Apparel.
Twig has an (overly?)
documented history of knee injuries and always skis with a knee brace these days.
So how do they feel and which should you choose?
Well, the first point of note is that the sizing chart seems to be bang on.
We both followed the Stoko sizing guide and both pairs fit perfectly.
The cable system itself is so thin that you literally cannot feel it.
To both reviewers, the Flux fit a touch more comfortably under a ski boot.
Which works better will come down to your individual preferences.
The K1s certainly felt unlike anything else weve ever tried.
But as a bonus, the solid waistband does provide some support to the core and back.
They provide support but dont require any significant tradeoff in terms of how you ski.
