Pros: poc always makes excellent gear. Full sleeve design makes the pad less prone to slipping down to your wrists which always happens riding fast janky DH tech. Protective enough to prevent scrapes and cuts and bruises on rock, will be used in the DH lift park. Light enough to be wear on xc / trail style riding. Love their air vpd foam designs, super comfortable to wear. Fits true to size measurements check online measure with a string.
Cons: poc gear may seem unreasonably pricey, but it’s worth it.

Didn’t quite know what to expect in the hot, humid summer weather we’ve had in Arkansas, US., this year. Put them on and very quickly forgot they were even there. Flexible, and fabric doesn’t have any irritation. No seam rubbing or chafe points. They were soaked after initial ride, but dried fairly quickly. Directions say light machine washing is ok, but hand washed with my kneepads that aren’t machine washable. Dried quickly, and color didn’t seem to fade, or leach out.
Bought these AFTER a crash, so have no experience with them hitting the ground. But anything seems better than bare skin, muscle and bone, against rock.

These are a great fit, accurate per the fit guide and the padding cups nicely on the elbow and inside elbow bone. The upper part of the sleeve is quite long but does seem to help keep the sleeve secure and in place without pinching.

Es un buen producto, pero el otro modelo de codera de POC es mejor tanto en sujeción como seguridad

Der Ellenbogenschoner ist wirklich sehr komfortabel zu tragen und das auch auf längere Zeit!
Leider rutschen sie Anfangs immer etwas bin man etwas feuchtere Arme bekommt. Ab dann halten sie wirklich gut.
Zwei kleinere Stürze hat er bereits Problemlos mitgemacht und mir dadurch schon größere Schürfwunden erspart!

So these are a Medium and I’m thinking I should have went with large? Very snug, these things are not slipping or moving around. I used the size chart and was right on the line between M & L. Anyhow, I’m gonna give them a few rides to see how they break in. Overall excellent quality and form fitting. Lightweight yet provide seemingly good protection.

I wanted something that would protect my arms from getting scratched up while riding single track. These are lightweight and breath well during hot days. They also stay in place even on long rides where you suffer from arm pump. If you want crash protection for downhill rides and jumps, these won’t offer you the elbow padding you need, but for all other riding in the woods, they are great.

Lightweight but still provide protection for less extreme MTB. Good for fending off branches and bushes…very happy

Not built for impact more for just small road rash

Very lightweight, not the strongest protection but that something you could wear all the time. I guess suits best for not aggressive riding style like xc. Usually I wear sleeves for sun protection, these pads can do the same plus some crash protection as well. I would not wear heavy gear for everyday riding, so these are good for situations where you not supposed to fall, indecently something went wrong..

I wasted a bunch of money trying different elbow pads. They all either fit weird or slid down. These are perfect. They stay put, and they are so comfortable you forget they are there. They also breathe so well, overheating is not an issue. I am 5’10”, 180lbs, with decently sized arms and the mediums fit me perfect. I should so I haven’t been through a crash with these though so I can’t comment on protection.
