Review on ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Ultimate Protection for Cycling, Skateboarding, and Rollerblading: JBM Protective Gear by Jeff Dabney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good workmanship, terrible size

2 stars for good workmanship and timely delivery. 0 stars for the completely ridiculous size. For reference, I received adult size, also known as "large". First, they were the size of a nightmarish human, with gossamer legs, big elbows, and huge hands. I'm a 5ft 6in, 135lb, 27 year old female so logically I shouldn't have felt like I was stuffing twenty pounds of shit into a ten pound bag while wearing knee pads. I was practically floating in the wrist and elbow pads because the Velcro area was so small and the knee pads made my skinny chicken thighs look like overstuffed sausages. I am very disappointed not only because they are so comfortable but also because I needed them urgently asap. As a wildlife photographer, I'm constantly on my knees and elbows. In about a week I'll be photographing animals at a local animal shelter, so I'll be kneeling and crawling on concrete all day every weekend. With my very sharp bony elbows and weak knees (one of which has arthritis) you can imagine the pain I feel after a day of shooting even on soft ground! You were supposed to help me, but now I'm just disappointed and lost fifteen dollars that I could have spent on something really useful. Thanks for nothing, JBM.
