"These are relatively small (as in thickness, padding) compared to 187s. It's better than taking concrete straight to the elbow, though." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the straps of the outdoor recreation product. They mention that the strap goes way past the velcro, the Velcro strap is too long, and the VELCRO STRAPS DO NOT MATCH UP.

Ordered xl almost need xxl not a big guy

Ordered xl almost need xxl not a big guy
First and essentially only issue is that the fabric behind the retention straps is tight for an xl to the point where if I’m at a spot to go skating and my arms are warmed up these are annoying to put on and I find myself not taking the time to put them on. The Velcro retention strap has some slack left but there is a flexible fabric behind the straps that has to be pulled over your hands and up your arms. I’m an not excessively muscular or fat and have normal adult arms I feel and I feel the xl size should have much more room or they need to offer an xxl size. If I want to wear a long sleeve under which I haven’t tried yet I am sure it would be frustrating or so uncomfortable I wouldn’t even do it. Worst case scenario if I gain more mass in my arms I will end up cutting the fabric for more room. Otherwise they do the job I’ve crashed once in them so far and still have a functional elbow with no skin left on the concrete. Padding is adequate looks are acceptable but not exiting or cool looking personally but their just their to save you skin so eh meh. The best thing they could do is creat some adjustability to trench able fabric behind the straps or separate them so they don’t need slid up your arms OR sell an XXL size. Also more colors would be cool. Be safe !
