Strengths:
Comfortable, solid feel
Weaknesses:
No hard plastic insert

Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Jackal stock with Animal Steve Hamilton pedals
Bottom Line:
I just got these pads and they are awesome. Sadly/thankfully I have had the opportunity to try these on taking a digger, but as far as riding is concerned they are very comfortable although your elbows will end up at about 1000 degrees by the end of your day. I'm a little concerned how they'll perform if I take a solid spill because they don't have any hard plastic cover or insert, but they're comfortable enough that I'll wear them...which is better than strong elbow pads that stay in my jeep. I would recommend these elbow pads for mountain biking or people with vertigo.

Strengths:
Light, small, easy to stash away and put on later. ventilate fine
Weaknesses:
No hard shell,
Bike Setup:
4" Xc and 5" AM bikes
Bottom Line:
Perfect for light to mid duty XC or trail riding where you can put it in backpak until finish the uphill. Protect you from most road rash and increase confidence, never feel too hot even in summer. However, after a elbow fracture by basketball accident, I am going to get a hard shell one for better protection. Don't buy it if you're serious downhiller.
