I couldn’t be happier with both the tempo and the summit. I’m an older (soon to be 70) active outdoorsman. As well as normal wear and tear I had ACL replacement surgery a couple of years ago. Purchased the tempos for hiking. Was happy with performance/added support primarily for steep downhill decents. Was very happy. Also impressed with the ability to use even on warmer hikes. Based on experience with the Tempo I picked up the Summit for skiing. Super impressed with performance and added bonus made those top to bottom laps easier on the legs.
Had a disaster with my tempos when my dog chewed off one of the plastic control knobs. I was hoping for a repair that I could send in and pay for.
When I contacted and explained the situation they we happy to replace even though it had nothing to do with product performance.
Companies and products like this should always be supported. So impressed with overall experience. They’ve got an advocate and customer for life!!!

I am a 82 year old ski patroller that has been on patrol for 26 years. I was wearing the traditional brace because of the long hours on skis. My knees would ache without the braces. I took a gamble and purchased the Stoko K1 this season. I have not used my braces at all this season. I skied five days at Big Sky and never felt better. After the first pair I purchased my second pair because I ski a lot. I have started working out using them for my workouts. I believe the key to success is right sizing, breaking them in correctly and putting them on the right way.

Having used the for the patrol season they have significantly reduced my knee discomfort. This was most apparent when I didn’t wear them for a day. Massive difference.

So far they seem like just another gimmick. They are uncomfortable and constantly falling down at the waist and I am not really noticing any support from them. The main thought when I wear these is to get home after a day of skiing and get the damn things off. I am a 57 year old professional ski patroller with chronic knee pain and was hoping for a practical solution for my loose old knees. I do not think this is it.

Unlike most people, I don't have knee problems per se. Except that my knees are 65 years old and I'm trying to keep up with people who are 30 years younger than I am.

I always felt that I am most prone to potential accidents when my legs get tired. And my knees are the first thing to go. I bought these on a lark.

Fantastic. My stamina is better than ever. The total leg support is fantastic. And the confidence building makes me a better skier (fat chance). But, I can do 4-5000 ft vertical on black diamonds at Kicking Horse and Revelstoke (not double) and my legs are feeling great at the bottom. I really can't believe it.

Now, if it were just that. I'd be thrilled. But on this last ski trip on some icy tree run I took a bad fall. I felt a sharp pain in my left knee. But I was able to continue skiing for the next three days. I believe that the stoko's actually prevented more damage other than a minor PCL sprain. That said, what do I know. I only know what i know.

I'm kind of a cold dude so, I do wear a pair of thermals over the stokos. The temp recently was 1 degree F.

Huge fan. Bought another pair of K1's for the warmer weather activities. great customer service. I tell everyone about these. It's just silly. All these people are so right in their reviews.
