If you're stepping up your mountain bike game, then there's every chance you'll be taking some time to involuntary lie down on the dirt - that is to say, you'll be crashing. And when that happens, the Trail Skins Air Elbow Guards provide elbow protection you can trust. Inspired by the geometry of auxetic materials present in nature, dissipating forces in all directions when impacted, the Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors offer flexible protection that complements your movements rather than hinders them. In fact, Dainese claims the Pro-Shape 2.0 elbow zone will absorb up to 83% of the force of an impact, protecting your elbow from injury in a crash. The sleeve of these pads is made from a lightweight and breathable fabric for outstanding riding comfort. With 55% of the structure of an open design, you can look forward to excellent ventilation to keep you cool on even the warmest of days and rowdiest of trail-riding sessions. When you're rocking and rolling over rough terrain, the snug-fitting sleeve that extends to the bicep and an elastic forearm gripper, with silicone, ensures the Trail Skins remain securely where they should be.
Rocktape’s Assassins Elbow Guards come in a pair and can be used in a variety of sports and fitness activities including: weightlifting, high-intensity training, obstacle course racing, running, cycling and more. The guards can even be a great help throughout your day to day when you’re busy living an active lifestyle and dealing with injury.

Flexible Layered Protection The E-Line Elbow Guards take a multi-layered approach to protection. The first line of burly protection is the outer hard-shell sliders. These prevent jarring impacts as you slide along harder surfaces. Next comes Armortex. This Kevlar-blend material provides tough abrasion resistance and protection from cuts and scratches. This covers the core protectors, the SmartFlex™ pads. Soft and flexible in normal use but hardening upon impact, these absorb damaging forces on the elbow when you hit the dirt. And lastly, the inner layer is of a highly ventilated EVA foam, keeping comfort levels high. Easy Adjustment The E-Lines feature an adjustable hook and loop strap in order to get the right fit and dial-in comfort. This no-fuss system makes it quicker to get padded up and on the trails. Always a good thing. To the back, the technical mesh offers enhanced breathability to minimise sweat build-up. Meanwhile, ventilation holes run through each layer to keep you cooler when you're on the go too. Flatlock stitching is also used to reduce chafing and irritation as you move and muscle your bike across the trail. SmartFlex™ Technology These pads feature SmartFlex™ to give you highly flexible protection. The hinge-like design allows for more natural movement, freeing you up to move and manoeuvre across any trail without feeling restricted.
