I recently fully ditched my Leatt elbow pads. They were contributing to some warm up pump, sliding down and just generally pissing me off. I'm way more comfortable riding with no elbow pads but I do tend to land on my forearms/elbows when I crash 🫪 Has anyone tried smaller mountain bike pads? Lemme know!

i had some fox ones i was using for a bit after a bad crush injury on my elbow but they covered most of my arms and caused me to overheat. Ilearned to tuck and roll now😅

I stopped wearing them all together. Never found a set that would restrict movement or cut circulation. I just try to stay upright 😂

Same here. I find none of them fit well under my jersey. The best before I gave up were my race face mtb ones.

I don't wear any but the best options would probably be from MTB gear companies since they're far more popular amongst that demographic. I'm sure 100% as well as many others have them. Good luck!
