Pro Design all the way, they're outstandingly the best elbow pads, their knee pads aren't great though, I prefer boneless or TSG's

Try these guys Pete - they usually have everything in stock.

661 have got a new range of pro pads with the plastic tops and extra impact padding - saw them at oxford on saturday - fecking excellent.

pete if your going to push your personal envelope then i'd highly recomend this, just a bit more than a decent set of elbow protectores as well.

This is a useful thread.  I need some recommendations as I'm looking for some elbow and knee/shin pads for mountain biking.  I've got skinny arms and legs but pretty tall (5'10"), so can anyone recommend anything for me?   Thinking of getting a full face helmet as well, so suggestions there are welcome, too.
