I am looking to buy some elbow pads but not break the bank they must fit a 5 foot 8 168 pound guy with 8 in circumfrence wrists and 13 inch circumference biceps
I saw the sly 2011 for 25 by they were xl and I didn't know if they fit but I also wanted to know other options and have the right size
thaks for the help,Gnarlee

Those are terrible

just suck it up and buy either dye, eclipse, empire

any of those will suit you well.

as for sizing, use either sizing charts or go to a local store and try them on

Anything on the sly the 2012 l/xl are perfect on the size chart but the 2011 xl don't know but 25 bucks for sly pro mercs seems like a good deal

I've heard Sly 2011 pads aren't breathable. Save up $15 more and buy Planet Eclipse pads.

Ok um I haven't heard that but I will keep that in mind I am just trying to save money wherever I can. do you know of they will fit because I am used to sweat.

The sly pads are bad.. you can find like older models of pe pads for aruond 30

[gnarlee]

Yeah I saw the white ones does the white get dirty

[gnarlee]

How are the invert ones

They should be under your shirt or jersey so it doesn't matter. Invert pads are pretty bad too, they don't really fit and bend to your arm.

So would those be the best the white 08 planet eclipse pads in that price range.

Only if they come in your size. If not it is well worth saving up all of $10 for the newer PE model.

I will just fork over the cash for the new eclipse thanks for answering all my stupid questions

No problemo, it will be worth it in the long run.
