Pros - They fit well, and are comfortable and light.
Cons - I read the description of these elbow pads before purchase, which includes the following description: 'They will protect you from fall-damage and abrasions, and give a 'mind-boggling level of protection'
I have to say I am staggered by how little impact protection they offer! There is virtually NOTHING at all to absorb any impact energy, and if the elbow slammed into the road, it would no doubt be broken! They may offer some protection against road rash to a degree, but impact NO! Having been a speed skater for 54 years ice and inline, and hitting the road and ice hard in the past, I really think the description 'Mind boggling level of protection' is very misleading as far as impacts are concerned! In my opinion the description should have only said they protect from 'road rash, whereas it implies impact protection too, and as such they are vastly overpriced for what limited protection they offer! |
