I am 63 and have back, right hip & right knee problems due to osteoarthritis (OA). I have skied for years but found it increasingly difficult due to my OA.
The compression leggings really helped my back and hip and somewhat helped my knee. So overall I am very pleased with them and intend to buy some leggings for walking as well. I do feel the knee support would benefit from offering double support as I think this is the area that benefits from most support when skiing. All in all they are great. Thank you!

I am a male and a part time ski instructor having worked over some 28 seasons. I have had knee problems for years and have spent a fortune on all different types of knee braces and treatments and was strongly encouraged to try Imbrace shown by Chemmy. Great advert and great reviews.

Due to the sizing chart and after a great deal of measurement and re measurement I decided to go ahead and purchase.
I bought the large and they looked quite impressive. Tried them on and after managing to squeeze into them I thought there not lot a lot of support in the knee but carry on and don't try to form an opinion before trying them properly.

Tried them out for a few hours while out on a Trial motorbike. One word to describe the experience - Brilliant thigh and hip support BUT "Awful" lack of support on the knee.

Okay said I let's be fair and hold back a bit. Went all the way (5 hour drive each way) to the Manchester Indoor ski Dome. I had to go and take the Imbrace off and put a £8.50 cheapo knee brace from eBay and got the support and relief I needed.

Now Imbrace may be good for some people and that's great but certainly not for me and I really do not think I can recommend them to anyone but this is a personal honest review
Bad points for me -
1. very tight in the high waist and would not stay up to the bottom of my rib cage where they reached crept down and were actually hurting my waist.
2. Tight in the thigh to get on.
3. Very poor support on the knee itself - in fact really poor

Good points for me
1. Well made and well stitched together
2. the material at the back of the knee was great and thin and did not dig in. This is a major plus for anyone who needs to wear knee braces.
3. Felt good around the thighs and bottom providing good support in these areas
4. The design itself is really good in as much as they will stay in position for the duration of wear

If you happen to have the right shape and size of body for these they might be good but the knee part certainly needs to be improved. I could not ski for 2 hours without agony in my right knee due trip the lack of support All in all they are unlikely to see the light of the day again unless on-route to the bin.
Summary - Poor sizing, poor fitting, lack of support in the knee area.
If they are manufactured in the UK I would have been prepared to pay extra for a proper fit and a lot more elasticity and strength in the knee area

I ski a lot and have a home in the Alps. Unfortunately I had two knee replacements in 2023, then broke my leg in 2024 and had the plate removed in January this year. The Imbrace ski leggings give a light support that gives me confidence. Prior to my knee op I had been using braces but with the Imbrace I find I no longer need them. I also have the Imbrace sports leggings but found I needed one size larger in the ski leggings, the team at Imbrace made getting another size delivered very easy and they arrived within a few days. Great products and excellent customer service, I would recommend these leggings to anyone needing light to medium leg support.

Despite the fact that I couldn’t find a suitable fit of these leggings for my swollen, arthritic knees, I cannot praise this company enough for their customer service. Geoff sent 2 extra pairs out to me without extra charge in an attempt to find something that worked for me.
Thanks for all the help and I’m just disappointed I couldn’t find a pair that worked for me.

Bought these following a lower back injury.
Normally a size 8-10 so got size 8-9.
A struggle to get on over hips but comfortable once on so think I have the correct size.
Quite high waisted which wasn't comfortable initially but I soon got used to that. Personally I would prefer more support around the hips and tummy too as that type of support helps my particular injury.
Very comfy around knees and legs but I don’t have any problem there. Skied in them all week so think they were helpful.
Never felt too hot or cold in them and we had all sorts of weather and conditions.
