Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Triple 8 Covert Elbow Pads: Optimal Protection for Your Elbows by Pranav Osman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Effective for low impact street/park riding

I'll start by saying I'm a 'mature' skateboarder in my thirties. I bought these pads after an elbow injury that left me very sensitive to a light tap on my elbow. I bought these pads to use when street skateboarding or at the skate park. I am happy to report that they are effective in relieving the pain I experience from falling and rolling on my elbows. I will say that these pads are effective when you fall on a flat surface or roll on a flat railing or ledge. I wouldn't expect these pads to absorb shock from say a 12th step and stick and bang right on you. leading elbow. The other day when I was at the skate park I tried to do a 180 degree kick flip and I landed, I fell on my butt, elbows and arms and I was very happy when I didn't feel any shooting pains felt in my elbow. Let me describe it properly, I fell on my bum, rolled onto my lower back and then put my hands on the floor and then my elbows touched the floor. Basically it was a typical fall where I had a lot of pain in my elbow in the past, but with these pads I didn't feel that pain. In summary, these pads will probably reduce the pain experienced when driving on the elbows, but probably not the pain from a direct elbow strike on concrete.
