After being unable to decide on elbow pads, I thought id rather just buy a suit that has elbow pads included, Ive been looking about and mediums seem hard to come by!

Looking to go as cheap as possible (without being total crap) Around the 70 pounds mark strethcing to 100, THey have a brand X one on CRC for about 50, wondered if anyone has used this brands products? they seem similar to a brand new climbing brand called climb X which are actually very good but are cheap while trying to hit the market.

Any other recommendations, Im not long into the sport and not going totally mental so dont need anything super duper, just something that includes elbow pads. cheers

I found a place doing 661 body Armour a while back for about £60 (last seasons colour if that matters LOL ) i'll see if i can find the thread....

Found it....

The link is to the suit i bought, no elbow pads but they have others.

A mate has brand x and they aren't very mobile

my next purchase will be troy lee designs

Troy Lee Designs BP 7850-HW Short Sleeve Armour

designed for hot weather wear.

that will be useful for about a week then!!

wicked, cheers jon

you mock...

but true!
I found the sleeved version from the link unityjon posted, 60 quid for last years 661, job done! now just need to persuade the missus to buy for my bday.....

Suit yourself
i'm looking for a new setup as the 661 is so hot regardless of the day being hot

awful pun :p

Well the other option of getting seperate elbow pads will just workout to expensive i think.... Hot armour /elbow protection is better then none I guess..

I went for 661 sub gear, the pads are thin enough not to be restrictive, but will protect just fine against most knocks. Won't stop a broken collar bone which is what I'm most worried about, but no armour really will!
