Different Elbow Pads for Every Skater
Not all slams are created equal, and neither are elbow pads! At OCD Skate Shop, we stock two main types of elbow protectors to keep you covered on all terrains.
- Soft Elbow Pads: Perfect as park and street elbow pads, these offer a comfy, flexible fit that absorbs impact. Ideal for learning new tricks or cruising around town, they're your go-to protective gear for everyday skateboarding adventures.
- Hard Shell Elbow Pads: If you're tackling vert ramps, bombing hills, or hitting the MTB trails, you'll want the extra protection of hard shell elbow pads. These bad boys feature a tough plastic shell to deflect serious impacts and keep your elbows safe during high-speed, high-impact activities.
No matter your style or skill level, we've got the perfect protective pads to keep you rolling with confidence.
Find Your Perfect Elbow Pad Match
Picking the right elbow pads is about more than just grabbing the first pair you see. To truly shred with confidence, you need pads that fit your style, your skill level, and the type of skating you're into. Whether you're a vert ramp warrior, a street skater extraordinaire, or just cruising on your BMX or scooter, there are a few key things to consider.
We've put together a few FAQs to help you choose the right protection.
What size elbow pads should I get?
Elbow pads aren't one-size-fits-all. You'll want to measure your elbow circumference to ensure a snug fit. Most brands offer sizing charts ranging from S M L to XS/S/M/L/XL. Remember, pads that are too loose will slide around and offer less protection, while pads that are too tight can restrict movement and cut off circulation.
What is the best material for elbow pads?
Elbow pads typically feature a combination of materials for protection, comfort, and breathability. Look for durable outer shells made of hard plastic or impact-resistant foam, along with soft inner linings that wick away moisture. Some pads even incorporate high-tech fabrics to keep you cool and dry during those intense sessions.
How should elbow pads fit?
Your elbow pads should fit snugly but comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. They should stay in place when you move your arms but not restrict your range of motion. Make sure the padding covers your elbow joint completely, and check that there's no pinching or chafing around the edges.
