Leatt

3DF 6.0 Elbow Guard

not good for rocky conditions

I had bought the leatt 3df 6.0 elbow guards in advance of riding season so I had not tried them out yet, I was getting ready to ride this morning and had put the 6.0 elbow pads on, they fit great felt secure, then I wanted to test the protection so I dropped my elbow mildly not hard like a crash might provide on the edge of a wood table and it felt just like I had no elbow pad on! it hurt, even just gently dropping my elbow hurt like there was only a thin layer of hard plastic and no cushioning. These are a poor design for injury protection, Just try them before you ride and you will probably send them back!!

Feels

Feels great. Good protection

Does it's job

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Riding with these for 3rd season,so durable. Crashed with out getting hurt. They stay in place very well. Upgraded from lesser/lighter pads to have real protection

Found em

“Run small” I’m 140 with some tennis balls on my arms. These sm/md fit by that review.

Finally!

I have a bin full of elbow pads that caused arm pump, slid down my arms, too hot, or to bulky. Finally, I’ve found one that works for me. These pads are so comfortable that I forget they are on. They are cool, don’t move and don’t cause arm pump because they are so tight. Just bought another pair for my son.

high tech quality craftsman

someone put a great deal of time into design and making the mold on these. I like the grey color, no one pays no mind to it. I purchased the elbow and knee protectors. a must have!

Very comfortable

Very easy to put on and way more comfortable than my previous elbow guards. My only complaint is I measured my size accurately and they can slip down. I’ve resorted to wearing a long sleeve T under them to hold them in place. Once summer comes I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe consider 1 size smaller next time.

Very comfortable

I was really happy with the way these fit. I forgot that I was wearing them all day until I took my gear off.

Decent comfort

I thought I would try the non rigid guards. They were fairly tight at first, but seemed to loosen up a bit through the day. They are comfortable and surprisingly not as hot as I expected in the 75-80 weather. The only quibble I had was while standing with arms more straight than sitting, the guards would slide down a bit. I wore them over a light weight long sleeve jersey, which likely contributed to this. It was minor and easily rectified at each stop. I will try them under the shirt next ride as the upper silicone ring cuff will likely help. One ride, but not bad and absent what I had(nothing) they work pretty well.

Comfortable and doesn't move

Hugs my elbow like a grandma hugging her grandkid. Doesn't move around once I got the right size. Seems to protect well, though I fell into some sage brush, so that probably helped.
