Comments: "Fits snug" is definitely accurate. I wear the 187 wrist guards and the 187 knee pads in a small, so I figured I'd need the 187 elbow pads in small as well too. Wrong! They're way too small! I figure that they'll stretch out a bit with wear (my knee pads and wrist guards did, to a certain extent) and for the time being, I'll get them off and on with some baby powder and not pull the straps all the way across. The bottom isn't terrible but the top is way too tight and next time I need elbow pads I'll get the medium instead for sure!

Comments: I'm a male derby player and ref, 6' 200lbs. I cannot praise these elbow pads enough!! I've never thought of myself as having Popeye arms but according to the Smith Scabs my forearms are huge. In their largest size the bottom strap is always pulled so tight it turns the plastic sideways to stay connected and ends up cutting onto my arms. I got these in XL and could not be any happier with the fit and comfort!! They feel lightweight as if I'm not wearing anything yet have saved me from some tough falls with zero hurt.

Comments: These are the most comfortable elbow pads on the market. I've tried basic elbow pads and although those protect the skin they do not protect the bones from impact like the 187 Killer Elbow Pads. I've used them for 6 months now for roller blading and have not had any injuries. It makes being adventurous safe. I feel very comfortable in these elbow pads and continue to wear them on every skate session. They are worth the money!

Comments:
Great, snug fit! I got the XS after 2 seasons of skating in elbow pads that were too big and slid and had to be taped eventually. The 187's are padded nicely, without restricting movement. I have been telling everyone at practice to try these out, especially if you need an XS which most other companies don't make.
