Hi
I am just about to buy some new pads after comming back from a bad injury.
I am 6'2" and skinny and find that a lot of pads either just slide down your arms as you progress down hill or i have to buy them so small that they bearley cover anything.
does anyone have the same problem and if so have they found a product that holds the solution?
thanks
john

I have pretty skinny arms and the POC ones in medium work well for me.

+1 for POC (in VPD flavour, at any rate). I have roadie noodle arms and they don't budge.

Race Face Ambush (?) . The D30 ones are snug with good coverage.

I too have skinny arms.

TLD small might be ok, although the ones I tried seems to stretch ater a few uses so I need to sew on some elastic adjusters.

Recently tried on a pair of Dakine Slayer pads in small and they fitted nicely - so they could also be worth a look/

skinny arms here and the bliss ones do the job for me. also have endura singletrack, they tend to slip down a bit but not unusable.

I'm 6'2" too and 70-71kg with skinny climber's arms and legs. POC VPD Air in the small or the Bliss Minimalist in small work for me.

I use the Fox Launch Enduro pads, which don't move on my skinny arms, if you're after a lighter weight pad?
