All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Do you think these will suffice?http://cgi.ebay.com/...atchlink:top:enConsider: I need pads that allow ample movement of my arms more than I need the serious protection being that I'm a seasoned skater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibeck 38 Report post Posted October 18, 2012 I think you would need something that has an elbow cap on it. Falling on hard ice is different than a baseball or a football field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yrhmblnr8r 69 Report post Posted October 18, 2012 I bought a pair of those cheap on eBay thinking the same thing. After trying them on in my living room, I gave them away. They didn't feel like they'd do anything in a fall and didn't offer much more protection than wearing two sweaters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBoxersSayJoe 133 Report post Posted October 18, 2012 Just picked up some Reebok 3K elbow pads 2 months ago. Working great for me. Not much to them, but they protect my 'bows well with little-to-no bulk. No bicep guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No bicep guard.Those 3k pads are similar to the 8025s I have been using for close to a decade. The straps are better on mine but they are still very similar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harder landing depending on the surface?I'll strongly second the design on the Reebok 3K/Jofa 8025 Joe and Chadd recommend, too. I have some 9025s that fit like a charm and are barely noticeable.

MyBoxersSayJoe 133 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Since high school, I've had Hespeller elbow pads that just had two straps, no bicep guard. They were fine, could have used a little more padding in the elbow area, but they smelled absolutely horrible. I've been looking for a while, saw the 3k's in the LHS and bought them. Anything with a bicep guard feels bulky and restrictive to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strosedefence34 175 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 i have been using lacrosse elbow pads my entire life. They give the protection you need with all the flexibility you could want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
