the elbows tear easy on hard slams - but they are also easy to stitch up - really nice elbows but the tearing thing is worth considering. They tore on me on a hard enduro trip in thailand. Once torn, the wind catches them and they pull out like wings at speed. took 5 mins with a cold beer to fix them. id still recommend them but wouldnt recommend my stitching skills hehe
Hi, thank you for the review! Would you consider them safe enough for street motorcycles? In case you don't want to wear the heavy pants for every ride, would those be a good alternative for under / over the normal pants?
@@ChitChat bought the knee guards in the end. I don't know yet if they are safe enough, but they are comfortable enough and they fit under relaxed style jeans. I read one review saying that they rotate around the knee during impact. I don't plan to crash, in order to test that, but I see the possibility. What matters is that they are better than nothing, and much better (I expect) than my 70$ budget motorcycle trousers. I ride carefree, knowing that I have something there to protect me.

It would be really nice to see you putting them on. Also some contrasting colors would be nice when you show the models wearing the pads

The fabric of the elbow protector looks pretty gentle, branches might tear it?
That velcro cincher on the knee pad is nice... Perfect!

I have the same question

I'm right on the border of medium to large for the elbow guard size chart. Do you recommend sizing up or down?
Up
This or contour?
