So after a few attempts at using my elbows as fred flinstone-esque braking devices i've decided it's time I opt for some elbow pads. Forearm protection would be nice but not required, i'm looking for something that isn't excessively bulky but can still provide some protection for when i crash. I'm also looking for a pad that will fit my less then muscular arms snugly so they don't slide while i ride. All that being said, what's your favorite pad, POC, 661, TLD, Race Face?

I'm digging my G-Form pads. Not really DH pads but they stay put, are super cool, and comfy. I also have the knee pads and wear them on all my rides now (mostly xc). For lift serviced stuff and super rocky x-stuntry rides I wear then under my Fox Launch pads. Bonus: they are made in the US! They also make military armor.

Got T.H.E. storm armpads for $20, they work pretty good. The old roach/race face arm pads were ok too.
