Hi i know there is a thread about knee pads but im wondering about elbow pads are they comfortable and do they make it harder to move your arms.
im asking because last time i played i got a big scar on my elbow. :cry:

They dont make any difference in your movement ability..get a good set and they make the world of difference...lots of bounces..no fear when diving etc

I would definately go for the Dye ones, they are comfortable to wear and won't slip down your arm.I am sure action sells them.

Like Rainman said.. and I have a set of the Dye ones, they work great. All the elbow pads Ive seen are pretty good so take your pic..knee pads on the other hand there are alot of crappy ones.

I've bought the Dye ones, (on Rainy's recommendation), and they work a treat!
Unlike some people that will recommend something that they've seen/bought but hasn't made any difference, I can say that these do bounce a lot of shots.

I took 4 shots up the right along the pad and the only one that broke was the one that hit me about 3-4 inches after the pad stopped.
They can be a little warm to wear in summer, but you get over it.

Yeah i second that. Ive seen them, tried them on but havent given them a run but i cant see them slipping at all.
They seem comfortable and still gives you plenty of movement.
I think they are NXE brand?? Oh and cheap too!

Eclipse elbox pads in three sizes for only $56.65 + shipping. Oh so cheap and oh so good.

The Eclipse ones look great with some material that fits around your wrist and over your thumb to stop them sliding up your arm.

How about playing in a wetsuit- protects your elbows, protects your knees - plenty of bounce!!! A bit hot maybe. All this talk of players wearing clothing that is promoting bounces is a bit annoying. Who's setting the standard for this clothing?
