Do I need to use elbow pads?
Last Updated: 08/18/2011
Elbow pads are similar to knee pads, the exceptions being the size of the pad and the place that you wear them. Just like knee pads, elbow pads typically fasten by two Velcro straps, and should fit snug on your elbow. Elbow pads have evolved in similar fashion to knee pads, with many offering additional cushioning behind the plastic shell or breathable material to reduce sweat and moisture.
