Pros Really comfortable while riding and stay in place pretty well, only had minor scrapes with trees so far and the kevlar cap is doing its job well.
Cons Sizing was on the large side (or maybe I just have really skinny arms compared to SixSixOne standards) so make sure you try on another pair of their pads or can easily return them if you need a different size.
If you are just riding trail and want to protect from scuffing from roots and rocks or smaller impacts then these pads will be more than adequate. But for DH riding I suggest you buy a higher quality and better designed product like Troy Lee or POC.
Pros Comfortable padding, adjustable straps. Made out of Kevlar material, seems durable. Breathes well even on long rides and does not slide or move much once its cinched in place.
Cons Expensive. Protective cup inside the elbow guards mold well to a bent elbow and feels odd when you are not riding and have your arms down straight. Not as secure on higher impacts, can move which negates the purpose of having protection in the first place.
Buy, ride, crash, ride some more
