Elbow Guards questions, answered
Slip-on sleeves or strapped cups?
Slip-on sleeves stay put and disappear under a jersey, which is why trail riders tend to prefer them. Strapped cups adjust to more arm shapes and come off without taking your jersey off. Both are stocked.
How should an elbow guard sit?
Over the point of the elbow with the joint bent, not straight. Fit it in a riding position rather than standing with your arm extended, or it will slide out of place exactly when you need it.
Will these fit under a jersey?
The slip-on sleeve models are cut to, and most riders wear them that way. Strapped cups are bulkier and usually sit over the jersey. Check the product page for the fitment of the specific model.
About Elbow Guards
What is here. Four guards from EVS Sports, $30 to $90 — the Flex Lite, TP199 and Option models, in both slip-on sleeves and strapped cups.
How riders choose. Slip-on sleeves stay put and disappear under a jersey, which is why trail riders tend to prefer them; strapped cups adjust to more arm shapes and come off without taking your jersey off. Either way the guard should sit over the point of the elbow with the joint bent, not straight — fit it in a riding position or it will slide when you need it. Every item lists its sizing on the product page — rider gear is sized by measurement, not by the bike you ride.
