Sette Impact Elbow Guards were designed with rider comfort and safety in mind, the Sette Impact Elbow/Forearm guards are constructed with high impact plastic outer shells, along with high density foam padding, to provide comfort with maximum protection. A mesh upper arm cuff, along with three adjustable Velcro straps help keep things cool and secure, while a two piece articulated design gives a rider excellent range of motion. All of these feature’s combine to make a slim, sleek design that fits easily under a jersey, with a price that won’t break the bank.

Bottom Line:
they work and they dont bother my skin or arms. i get the feeling they are slipping down my arm but i think its because they run alittle small/short. maybe its just the placement of the plastic cup that covers your elbow that makes me feel that way. but overall they work and feel good.
