Well, I don't have problems with my knees myself, but my hiking partner does.
He too wears the ace knee supporter. The 2 trips we made w/o he was in such
pain, my knees hurt just watching him. Now that he wears those little rubber
stink sponges (:-) he actually ends up waiting on me most of the time. But
like you said, in the summer months, those things are slimy by the end of the
day, but he doesn't mind the sliminess one bit as opposed to blowing a knee
or two.
Happy trails
