Previous Feedback
Comments: These have great protection in a light weight package. It's a very comfortable feeling elbow pad that fits securely, although i do not have a very large forearm and i wish the forearm strap was a little more secure for me. The anchor strap does a fine job keeping my arm in place. The EPP foam in both the forearm and bicep make this elbow pad very light and very impact resistant. Haven't really felt a slash on my forearm since wearing these. Also, the dome technology does a great job covering the bicep and elbow hinge point. Overall, very good protection, very good coverage and very light.

Comments: Great protection and good weight. Best thing about these are the feel on the elbow. No chaffing or irritation at all. The lining is great and they dont slip down. I have to get the large size because of my height, and usually a large slips down, and these do not!
