Review on RaceFace Ambush Elbow Stealth Medium by Michael Miles

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I have 3 stitches on my elbow today.

I bought them in February 2020. With or without a sweat, when you straighten your arms, the pads slide down to your wrist. It's not like they're falling, but they're definitely moving. After 4.5 months of use I had 3 crashes. 2 crash pads were ok, not great. This third happened on June 29th. I cycled less than 5 minutes and missed a 15 foot gap. my fault As usual, the pillow slipped at the wrong time and my elbow exploded. Nothing special, a few stitches but annoying to pay $80 and not feel safe next time I wear it. I bought the medium ones for sizing reference and they were quite snug which gave me a false sense of security for my tiny elbows. . To say that I might need a little one would be wrong, I think; I tried my best to put them on.
