Six Six One Evo d3o Elbow Pad

These are nice, but a bit expensive and could used some tweaks.

I have small arms and I purchased smalls they still slide down. I think the issue comes from the very small velcro straps they use, the mesh system also can snag your skin and it's begging to rip. I have eaten it with them and they def do there job, the goo stuff inside hardens up on impact saving yourself a hefty doctor bill, if your interested in buying these make sure you dial in what size you need cause it can be a bit tricky.

I've had em for just under a year. I love the idea and think D30 will change a lot of padding setups, and hopefully drop in price. As with most of the 661 stuff I own the stitching and fabric are very poorly done. One seam just never cuts it, especially when its going through a soft neoprene material. They fit nicely, bunch up occasionally. I think the knee pads are great, but the grand canyon of a scar on my right elbow tells me that perhaps they are not the best suited for anything more than a soft dirt or sand crash. . . jagged rock lovers need not apply.

I decided on these pads as I no longer wore my cumbersome hard shell elbow guards because they were just too restrictive. I realized that going padless was a recipe for disaster, so after doing that for a few weeks I decided on these pads. They are uber comfortable and will take a decent hit, but will not provide as much protection as hard plastic. For me, comfort and flexibility are paramount when ripping and retaining control, so I chose these and have been very happy since even though I haven't taken a big digger on the elbow with them yet....yet.

Very nice! comfortable, not cold not warm, just perfect, the fabrics looks a little weak, and easy to tear, i did not crash it hard yet, but i guess this is a pay back for a comfort. I like this pads, money well spend!

The Six Six One Evo d3o Elbow Pad are comfortable, light and protective for mountain bikers of all sorts. I use (or at least bring) mine on almost every ride, cross-country, freeride, or straight downhill - they aren't too bulky to fit in the Camelbak, so why not at least bring them, right? The Six Six One Evo would also be a great elbow pad for dirt jumping or an urban assault.

Overall, the Evo d3o Elbow Pad is my #1 - I don't even notice them while I am riding, and when you take a fall, they give you all the protection need - seriously, with the new d3o padding, I feel as protected as when I used to wear my old, bulky hard-shell elbow pads. Highly recommended - in fact, I think it might be time to order some of the Evo d3o knee pads!

I have yet to crash test these, but they are so nice and comfortable compared to my old pads.
