O.k guys I have looked at many elbow, knee guards from sixsixone and evs sports. What are ya'll using that works well under riding pants and jersy. Can't afford 550.00 for knee braces but have found knee guards for aroud 25.00 to 50.00 same for elbow guards.
I have a pair of knee braces that FOX was selling years ago,but there bulky and you need a lot of room in your pants to wear them and they wear the kees out of my pants fast and not to comfy.I normally wear the cheap Shift racing knee/shin guards,but had a get off going from 3rd to 4th that d**n near tore my pants off my leg above the knee,and slid the knee guards off my leg and tore my knee open and it swelled twice its normal size.So I think the nekt best thing to knee braces are the Thor force knee guards for about $60.00,about as close to a knee brace for the price as you can get.Never wore elbow guards untill a STEEP/near verticle hill climb (small mountain) went bad ,as I got near the top it was muddy and I caught traction in a dry spot and looped out,came off the bike and backflipped 3 or 4 times and chipped my elbow on a rock.Tried Oneal elbow guards for adults,what a joke!They wouldnt go up past my wrist they were so tight,sent them back and got Answer elbow guards for around $25.00.Only problem is them slipping down your arms,so I put dabs of silicone on the straps and keep them snug and they only slip when my jerseys wet (saftey pins may be the answer) but I recommend them.
