[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2221028, member: 117901"] I used to be a climbing guide in my younger days, didn't take care of my knees, and sustained a series of knee injuries and subsequent surgeries to address the issues. I now wear knee braces when going down hill with heavy loads, but I hate wearing them all other times on a hike or hunt. I prefer to take them off. This poses a problem because I often can't pull the cuff of my pants above my knee to pull a brace on, and my braces are not designed to work over a pant either.... I end up taking my boots and pants off a lot. I don't mind taking my boots off and letting my feet cool for a moment, and I tend to pause and re-lace my boots before going on a longer down hill section anyway so taking my boot off is not an inconvenience for me, but I hate taking my pants off. After many years of being annoyed by this inconvenience I have found my perfect solution. I contacted stone glacier ([URL]https://www.stoneglacier.com/[/URL]) about their Havilland LITE pants, and asked it they could make a version in which they extended the zippered thigh vent all the way to the cuff of the pant, thus allowing me to unzip the pant from the cuff to above my knee to pull a knee brace on and off. To my surprise, they obliged for an extra $100, and I now have the pants you can see in the photo below. I have tested them with the knee braces and they work perfectly. I couldn't be happier. If you are in the same situation, there is a solution. Happy hunting. [ATTACH type="full"]280055[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
