Comments: I bought these about 7 months ago when I first started playing roller derby. About 5 months into Fresh Meat they started to slip because the elastic stretched, which was expected. Two months later, the stitching has completely fallen apart at the seams exposing the padding. They served their purpose as inexpensive beginner gear. They were great while they lasted.

Comments: I love these elbow pads. They do get stinky easily (I play derby gear gets smelly quickly), but they are incredibly comfy, pretty low profile considering their good protections and I've been beating them up for a while now and they are still in near perfect condition. I absolutely suggest getting these elbow pads over any other kind, in any price range.

Comments:I just bought some of these pads, not from inline warehouse, though I wish I had. Considering I payed almost 10$ more. They fit great, don't slip around; which is a big issue for me considering how thin my structure is. They're really comfortable, and don't grab the ground when you slide, for the most part. However the Triple 8 knee pads were far to wide and loose so I ended up going for some Bern knee pads.
From: Evil Tim
Comments: Because I'm trained to use my elbows as protection from most types of falls these are extremely valuable and I consider them a MUST have. I have two important tips 1) Cross the straps behind the elbow. This gives your elbow room to bend without rubbing on the straps. 2) Dry out all your gear after each skate so it doesn't get smelly. Wrap the velcro straps around a vertical or tower fan to hold the pads in front of the airflow and the pads will dry overnight.
