elbow ARMOR

i'm looking for some hard-shell elbow armor for MUniing
I have sixsixone 4x4 (semi soft) leg pads, and like those a lot, but I
want some hard shell elbow/forearm pads for more impact protection
i'm considering sixsixone race, and comp, as well as fox and roach
etc.
i want one w/ long forearm armor and just good comfort and protection

can anyone tell me if they like theirs and what kind i should get?

thanks

there's lots of hardshell biking armor, and the Roach stuff looks great,
i'm just wondering if people like it (because it's more $$$ than most
guards)

I use the roach arm armour and I reckon it's pretty good. The material
on the back lets air pass through easily so your arms don't get too
sweaty.

Brand new. From 661. Totally legit. I just give you my sponsorship code
and you enter it....40%


Advice: I find I never hit my elbows. I have never hit my elbows once
while unicycling. I have, however, slid on them. 2x4's are good for
this, and adequate for hard impacts. They are somewhat uncomfortable
though.

I've crashed a zillion times on my Muni and crash most every time out.
I rarely if ever smack my elbows--but eventually you and I will--as my
riding partner, Hans, did this last Sat. And he smacked it very hard.
His comment: I hate wearing these damn elbow pads but glad I had em on
this time.

So you were them for that once in a blue moon accident, and be glad you
had them on.

I use the Harbinger brand elbow protection, and have found it both
protective (nice hard plastic shell over the joint) and reasonably
comfortable. It doesn't have the forearm protection, but if you're
looking for pure elbow, I'd recommend it.
