7 Protection Sam Hill Lite Elbow Pads
Even if you're not a fan of wearing elbow guards, it's still nice to have a protective layer on hand when you're riding more aggressive trails or donning a number plate on race day, just in case you get ejected from the bike straight into a not-so-soft part of the trail. Designed using feedback from the legendary downhill and enduro world champion, the Sam Hill Lite Elbow Pads offer comfortable protection in a lightweight package that's ideal for spending long days in the mountains, riding or racing on technical terrain. The durable rip-stop sleeves offer a breathable, lightweight feel that helps you stay cool on warmer days, and feature sewn-in impact padding to help disperse the forces of a crash. The upper cuff sits higher up on the bicep for a more secure fit, working with an internal silicone strip to keep the pads from slipping down when things get a little rowdy.

Happy with these XL elbow guards for aggressive trail riding. Already took a elbow to trail dirt and these protected me well. Came away with a scratch above the collar of sleeve and elbow a little sore so probably would've been worse without the pads. Happy with the coverage and breath ability on my 6'11" wingspan.
