Title: scabby elbows
Post by: seanrx on June 06, 2009, 01:26 PM

A Q to anyone wearing elbow guards. i'm looking for something that has the hardshell and deep foam of a 'skate' pad but with forearm protection.

I can only buy mail order (nowt in town) so need to know what to go for. Probably buying from CRC cycles.

Was in the pub last night and my scabs got knocked off! A bad look.

I like the 661 elbow and forearm.  Not sure what code name - white shells though.

Fell on them and they saved my skin - which is more than the elbow pads in my body armour did (they just slipped round when I hit the deck).

I have UFO ones that fit the description, they are very comfortable, soon forget you have them on.

Why you should wear elbow pads and why I now have a set of Alpinestars.

Full length to the wrist is not allways a good thing.... if you come off and put your hands down your arm cannot flex due to the pad being against it and you end up with a broken wrist instead.
