I’ll be 40 next year and have 2 very young kids. If I get hurt my partner has to shoulder extra child care. I’ve been wearing elbow pads on most rides for a few years and on the gnarlier stuff adding shin guards. I also wear 661 protective shorts and they have saved my hips/pelvis more than once. This year I’ve added upper body protection and a full face for gnarlier stuff. So thanks for the review. I’ve been using the TLD speed elbows which I had to stitch narrower at the top to stay on my scrawny arms but aside from that they’ve held up still. Still I’m looking to replace them soon and will likely get the 7iDP. Appreciate the review.
