Review on Alpinestars Paragon Elbow πŸ”’ Guard: Ultimate Protection and Comfort by John Patel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pads (knee pads too)

I've used these mountain biking a lot over the last few months and am very impressed. I was looking for the lightest, coolest, most secure fitting elbow and knee pads I could find that also offered solid protection. I bought these to replace a set of 661 elbow and knee pads and they are much better for half the price. While they're clearly warmer than nothing, they don't get hot or sticky and I've never had to adjust them in the middle of a long ride. I usually forget I'm wearing them until I finally take them off. While the protection might not be enough for a bomber going down a hill, most of my accidents happen at low speed as I can't get over or clear an obstacle and for that they seem adequate. Highly recommended

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • I won't say anything
