Elbow Pads

Crashes are inevitable in mountain biking, limiting injury is a must. Elbow pads are designed for the obvious place… keeping those elbows safe in the event of a knock. Typically in a crash, hands, knees, then elbows take the hit. With a set of pads you can limit the damage incurred and carry on shredding. They also work well against trees, rocks, fences, gates and anything else sticking out in the trail you might clip. Elbow pads tend to be of the slip on style. A sleeve that pulls up, and stays in place with some silicone grippers on the contact strip. D3O is a welcome material, when stable it is soft but under impact it hardens up. This is ideal for such an area when avoiding movement restriction is key.
