Comments: i'd really like to love these pads (mostly because I spent the money on them), but they just don't offer enough protection. First game a teammate accidentally kicked the under side of my forearm where there is almost no padding. It hurt a lot, but figured it was just chance. Had a few other crashes which turned me off to these elbow pads. They protect well enough, but still leave you sore after. I do like the mobility and lightness. You'd think it would be enough for beer league.

Comments: Love these pads. Great protection, light weight, low price. If you are hesitant about the soft pad, don't be. Offers a lot of protection. However, I had them two months and one the seams failed, leaving me wondering about quality control. Sent in for a replacement pair, as I do like them a lot. If they fail again, I will have to no longer recommend them and move on to something else.

Comments: Decent elbows. Fit well and offer great protection, but are a bit bulky and can pinch/bind sometimes. They're decent for the price and I don't see any reason to exchange mine for something else, they just aren't quite what I was hoping for. The hard version may be better, I'm not sure. They fit to size very well and offer great protection, so the rest is no biggie.
