Anyone here with bad knees wear a brace?

What's up guys?
So I have bad knees from the Marine Corps and riding bikes my whole life (I'm only 24).
I'm trying to find a knee brace that I can ride MX with as well as snowboard and maybe even walk around in when I'm sore from riding.
Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
I'm thinking the Leatt C knee braces with carbon if I can get a good deal or the standard braces if not.
I like how they have the one sided hinge so I can still feel the bike which is a huge concern with me.
I know there's one or two manufactures who make a knee brace that you can use for MX and then take it apart and walk around in it.
I know they were on a Rocky Mountain ATV review for knee braces.
Also, I'm talking a brace and not a pad. I've ridden in pads and they only help with impacts rather than prohibiting your range of motion to prohibit injury.
Thanks for the help!!
