About this deal

Pads that use hard shells restrict your movement more than stretchy, padded guards, though they do offer better protection. If flexibility is more important to you, there are lots of guards out there that use compression fabric. This fits smoothly against your skin and doesn’t restrict you. For breathability, look for features like vents, perforated pads, and more. Fit and size Meet Colin Edwards, evo's in-house Bike Buyer and mountain biking aficionado. With 15+ years of e-commerce buying experience under his belt, Colin is the go-to guy for all things related to "Riding Dirt." He's worked across various categories, including bike, snowboard, travel, climbing, and surfing, giving him the know-how to recognize and select top-notch mountain biking products for evo's customers. The last elbow pads on our list are truly old-school pads. They look exactly like the pads you had as a kid, when you were roller-blading, skating, or biking around the neighborhood. But that doesn’t mean they’re outdated. In fact, the Pro-Tec Youth Street Elbow Pads are some of our favorites on the list. They have an old-school plastic plate on the outside of the pad to protect you from impact. This might not be the most advanced impact protection, but it will definitely stop you from getting hurt in a crash. Then, on the inside, they’re lined with neoprene to make them comfortable. This next product is the McDavid 6515 Pair of Hex Knee and Elbow Pads. We already looked at a pair of elbow pads from McDavid and these ones are pretty similar. They’re actually a bit smaller than the first pair, which means they’re a little bit lighter and less obvious. However, they still provide the perfect mix of protection and flexibility. They’re made from a mixture of nylon (80%) and spandex (20%), with polyethylene foam for padding. This is one of the best ways of protecting your knees and elbows without having to wear big chunky protective pads. Besides protection, you should have an idea of how comfortable and breathable the elbow pads are. If they are uncomfortable and make you too hot, you won’t want to wear them.

Our next product is the Mcdavid 6440 Hex Pads. Before we get into the features and benefits, we should just clear up that this is one pair of pads that can be used as knee pads, elbow pads, or shin pads. They’re much more flexible than traditional elbow pads with plastic plates because they use Hex Technology instead. It’s a type of foam padding in a closed cell that protects you from impact. It’s not going to give you quite as much protection as a plastic plate, but it will still stop you from grazing or cutting your knees. They’re really designed more for sports like basketball, netball, and football, but you can use them for extreme sports.The pads are built for airflow, with aligning intake vents on all layers. On the bottom of the pad is a zipper to break open the bottom portion of the pad and a Velcro strap for a double retention system. Up top, there is just a Velcro strap to keep the pads in place. With the bottom part of the pad opening up, riders don’t have to remove their shoes to get the pads on. On the flip side, if you are a shoe-remover, the bottom of the pad can stay zipped.

Can your elbow guards take a beating? That’s the million-dollar question. If they’re flimsy, they won’t protect you when you fall and they won’t last long enough to make it worth your money. When shopping for elbow guards, you want to pay attention to what materials the guards use. Nylon is common in pads and can be found in places like the sleeve and the pad itself. It’s known for its durability. as well as youth and toddler sizes of our best-selling products, and our industry-leading SmartFlex Technology padding keeps you safe, and allows our guards and apparel to be water-proof and machine washable. How an elbow guard fits and its size is part of how comfortable it is to wear. Depending on the style, you might just pull up the guard like a compression sleeve or adjust it with straps. Straps can help you get a snugger fit, but compression-style guards usually have a feature like silicone grips to keep the guards from moving around on your arm. You want your elbow to rest in the guard.Size – Most elbow pads have a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s because they can be tightened to fit any elbow. However, if you have particularly small or large arms you might have to buy specialist elbow pads.
