What to Compare Before Buying
- Fit: Check the sizing guidance for size S and whether the pads fit securely without restricting movement.
- Protection information: The VPD 2.0 description explains an impact-response design, but does not specify a certification or protection rating. Check the protection requirements for your intended riding.
Before You Decide
Confirm the size and fit of the pair, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for use. Protective pads do not eliminate the risk of injury.
Checking Fit While Riding
When assessing fit, try the pads with the riding layers you expect to wear. Bend and move your elbows as you would on the bike, and check that the pads stay positioned over your elbows without limiting movement.
