Looks like knee protectors would help to prevent knee injuries, but not sure how to choose an appropriate one for a person who does not have any knee pain yet. Thank you for the other tips.

I only wore one when I had a knee injury due to running, but only during running afterwards. Some exercises and some tips like above helped more.

In my own limited experience, I would avoid zig-zagging as much as possible. The turns add additional load and you do more distance. If it feels too steep/too much force on your knees, I experienced (ridiculously) short steps to be more effective (in me and friends :) ).

@imsodin I was learnt this way (zigzagging) by an alp mountain instructuror; it helped me well. But of course, if small steps are possible, that. Only use zigzagging when the slope is too steep.
