Keep the ground at a safe distance.

For riders who prefer to have something between their skin and the dirt, but don't want to wear full-on armor, the POC Joint VPD Air Elbow Pads deliver. The Joint VPD is a light duty impact-absorbing and abrasion-fighting pad, with POC's lightweight VPD padding and a non-slip neoprene sleeve for flexible protection and comfort on rides that involve both pedaling and serious descending. The hook-and-loop Crash Retention Strap helps it stay in place when you hit the dirt, and the stretchy construction lets you ride all day without constriction or discomfort.

Good elbow pad that's not huge; size up

Size Bought:
Medium
Height:
5' 8"
Weight:
160

Bought a medium, I'm 5'8" & honestly had trouble getting the pad over my watch. Kind of disappointing b/c I previously bought the ION E-Pact elbow pad size (M) & that one ran even smaller. This POC AIR I could at least get it on my elbows. However I never used & will exchange it for a large. I want something to help with crash rash / minor impacts. The POC sizing seemed larger than the E-Pact, which by a tiny bit it was - but I would advise you size up to be safe, it has a strap / elastic to help keep the pad on the arm if it runs a bit large by sizing up.

Good lightweight pads

Familiarity:
I've used it several times
Size Bought:
M

I really like these pads, I don't notice them at all while riding. Have not had a crash with them yet (luckily) and have ridden around 5-8 times with them. I recommend choosing your size based on the forearm measurement, not the bicep. Based on forearm, I was at upper end of medium (11.75") but based on bicep measurement would be a large. I saw other reviews of people complaining about them sliding down so I opted for the medium and I'm glad I did. They stay in place for me even without the straps while not being uncomfortable tight, and don't go over your biceps anyway.
