Elbow Pads - recommendations

Hello all, I have a pair of Fox Sleeve type elbow pads which I hate as they are hot and slide down, also seem to restrict circulation as well.

I also want new pads to go over my jersey, so looking at the following as they have straps and can be

Don't want recommendations for pads that are sleeve type, they have to be open on the inside with straps to hold them in place

I shelled out more cash and got a suit of armour.

For some reason (you’d think otherwise), the curtains don’t match the drapes for elbow and knee pads (the best knee pads don’t make the best elbow pads), according to what I researched online (reviews and other forums).

Yep agreed. I have the fox launch pro knee pads which are fanatastic, stay in place and are comfortable all day. The launch pro elbow pads are good but too bulky to fit under Jersey’s or jackets and a bit restrictive
