Afternoon!

I'm after some not too expensive elbow pads for general trail centre hooning during the summer. I've got some 661 Rhythm guards but they come right down to my wrists and they're too warm at the mo.

Any recommendations for something well vented, not too heavy and won't make me look like a storm trooper?

    Fox launch, plenty of protection but with a cutout on the inside of your arm and aren't long so not big enough to get sweaty and horrible

    Bought some G-Form Elbow pads for the summer and as long as there's a small breeze they're good.
    Went out the other week and the air was still. Got a little hot...

    I normally hate elbow pads but I find my Race Face Dig's bearable if I need to wear them. They feel super tight just trying them on but once you're riding the fit is so good they aren't so bad once you're riding and they stay put no matter what.
