Ski Trousers to fit over knee brace

Just that.

I have had to invest in some Ski Mojos because my knees are a bit dodgy. Only problem is that I have fairly decent size thighs so my current Oakley ski trousers don't have enough room to add a ski brace underneath. A bit bummed as I don't want to lose my sleek bell bottom look, but needs must.

Any suggestions for stylish ski pants with a bit more room - probably more boarder style rather than just stay puff marshmallow. Definitely not in the Bognor/Perfect Moment budget range. Thinking more like under £300...ideally under £200.

Or I guess I could go retro and get stirrups and wear the Ski Mojos outside. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lots of ski trousers have a baggy fit (I don’t wear the tight ones as they aren’t warm enough for me).

Try:
The North Face
Salomon
Schoffel

Yes I am currently wearing them on the outside but you have to hoik them up behind the boot which is kind of annoying.

Thanks for the tips.

I was about to get some Montec with outside knee zips but black is sold out. Boo...

Oh Montec are lovely (although the standard leg is too long on me - I’m 5ft 5).

Have you looked at the sister brand ‘Dope’?

I've got some north face men's/boys non puff pastrry ones and they are generally roomy of thigh and stretchy of knee. In fact they have some sort of thich waffle type material around knee are. Reckon they would stretch over a brace.

I love my Planks ski pants. High waisted so no cold back on ski lifts and really long. Although they have a drawstring inside the pockets you can pull up to shorten them if needed. They are relaxed fit but not too baggy.

I usually wear a knee brace on one leg and it fits fine.

Awesome thanks ladies
