Rector elbows
: I gave up on ProDesigned pads, last pair of knees I sold some 5 yrs ago. Don't fit well on me.
: I'm using these Rectors for elbows, previous pair was Triple-8 of similar style. It's enough for my needs.

Do they run small? I hope so!! I seem to have abnormally small arms. He calls me super twig. :-( Those kiddie ones are twice the width of my arms. The s-ones XS are too big too. Its my bones so lifting weights wont do it. I might try the neoprene elbow supports with padded elbows to make the joint larger like the gaskets do with the knees. Then I think it would work. LOVE the scabs but the elbows fit my knees lol. I might have to stick with these for now then upgrade later. Thanks!

claudine: Not happy with pro-designed pads (12. Oct. 2007 04:13)
 One of the derby girls told me she doesnt recommend them anymore cause hes so overloaded that the quality's gone way down. Her wrist guards fell apart immediately. Well, I got my elbows. The top strap is a touch short, they are BLUE, I asked for black then mentioned yellow maybe in an email but said black is great too. I never mentioned blue ever. The stitching is messy but that doesnt bother me so much if they fit well. When I put them on the spandex part inside bunches up. They fit a touch better then the s-ones but not by much, still spin a touch and are less flexible (its hard to bend my arm!) and not really much thicker. I waited several weeks for these and now I'm dissappointed. I might have to keep them since I'm unemployed and cant afford to play mail tag. I did email him about the blue deal!

But are there other kiddie elbow pads out there that are decent though? I'm very disappointed in these and probably wont do this again. It was a big deal just to do the money order thing.

Also, in the winter, how do you wear the knee gaskets? Or do you just wear wide legged pants?

 I am surprised to hear that. I ordered some wrist guards from Bill and they were too small. I asked to exchange them and he let me. At first he asked me to pay shipping and I said no and he was cool about it. I personally liked dealing with him, but admit that I don't use the wristguards because they rub between my finger and thumb. He can make custom pads according to your measurements. I would suggest e-mailing him and coming to a compromise. See if he can make a custom pair that will fit you perfectly. I don't get your question about knee gaskets? You can wear them anytime.

 They were custom made! I guess he just shortened up the straps and left the rest the way it was since the spandex bunches up and overlaps when I put them on. I dont get the blue though????? I like my jeans blue, not my pads. Not sure how he messed that up. I cant bend my elbow in them. The stitching goes all over the place, threads hanging out, it was a huried job. I might just let it go and next time get protec kiddie elbows or something. I like the $20 pads more in all honesty.

I will email him then will probably have to pay shipping and wait 6 more weeks or something crazy like that so it might not be worth it. I dont recommend them but maybe they ride better then they look. I donno. Cant bend my elbows!! They arent comfy at all. I cant stand them. They are really wide too! Thats the main reason I got the kids version.

I was asking about gaskets with pants. My jeans are all snug around the ankle so I cant just slip them on under my jeans. Do I leave them off or get wide legged pants later? Or sweat pants I guess? Or put them on top the pants? Its getting cool here! I will try to put them on then my pants and see if that works.

My legs hurt again too lol.

claudine: a picture of them (12. Oct. 2007 06:14)
 Yeah, they are BLUE. The image shows some stitching which I will have to redo since some is coming out already and I just got them. They are WIDE and those are kiddies. The top strap is shorter then the bottom strap which is weird and its hard since the pads are wide to get the straps on. You can see how it bunches up. I'm not sure why he didnt shave down the sides. I'm not sure if I should complain........ I dont have an idea what will fit my arms either, my bones are very small.

I'm using these Rectors for elbows, previous pair was Triple-8 of similar style. It's enough for my needs.
