elbow ARMOR

ColDawG 29 March 2005 00:51:09
 
i'm looking for some hard-shell elbow armor for MUniing
I have sixsixone 4x4 (semi soft) leg pads, and like those a lot, but I
want some hard shell elbow/forearm pads for more impact protection
i'm considering sixsixone race, and comp, as well as fox and roach
etc.
i want one w/ long forearm armor and just good comfort and protection

can anyone tell me if they like theirs and what kind i should get?

thanks

there's lots of hardshell biking armor, and the Roach stuff looks great,
i'm just wondering if people like it (because it's more $$$ than most
guards)

I use the roach arm armour and I reckon it's pretty good. The material
on the back lets air pass through easily so your arms don't get too
sweaty.

Brand new. From 661. Totally legit. I just give you my sponsorship code
and you enter it....40%


Advice: I find I never hit my elbows. I have never hit my elbows once
while unicycling. I have, however, slid on them. 2x4's are good for
this, and adequate for hard impacts. They are somewhat uncomfortable
though.

I use the Harbinger brand elbow protection, and have found it both
protective (nice hard plastic shell over the joint) and reasonably
comfortable. It doesn't have the forearm protection, but if you're
looking for pure elbow, I'd recommend it.

i tend to roll out of most crashes where my arms hit. i have heard that
roach and 661 are both quite nice and offer good fore arm protection.

I agree abput not hitting your elbows much, i have a set of 661 2x4s
(elbow equivalent of the 4x4s) and they've always given me enough
protection, even when falling on sharp rocks or coming off my giraffe.
They're quite comfortable. and the mesh makes them bearable even in hot
weather.

join the club evil nick!
i can ride quite well but have a scar (and one scab turning into a scar)
on each elbow from these random slips on the street in front of my
house!
i also have a slice through my shin from my friend's Snafus, and as soon
as i get metal pedals, i'm either wearing my bulky 4x4s ALL the time or
getting other pads (like the sixsixone veggie wrap)

Yeah, I uaully wear 661's... 2 weeks ago I wasn't wearing them whilst
riding to school, and had a upd that slammed the back of my leg with the
pedal... It hurt, but I didn't think much of it 'cause I was wearing
thick cargo's, like flannel lined... No rips or anything in the fabric,
but I still have a nice scab there ;)
The only prob I've got with the 661's is that when I wore them logo
facing out for about 3 hours, they rubbed the inside of my knees... so
I've mathcing scars there :P­ Doesn't seem to be as bad as if you wear
them logo-in (Plus you get to look cool like Mr Carter ;))

For muni, definately get knee/shin pads... Trust me ;)

Um... I dunno, the cheap ones ;) They were like $30 Cdn, if that, much
cheaper than the 661's the shop had, and more comfortable... They do
have a nasty habit of shifting off the elbow, so I've gotten into the
habit of checking them often to make sure they're in place ;)
