Six Six One Evo d3o Elbow Pad

Six Six One Evo d3o Elbow Pad description

Slip on the SixSixOne Evo d3o Elbow Pads, and meet the future of MTB protection. Underneath the Evo's molded Kevlar elbow panels lies a flexible substance called d3o, and it will change your opinion of soft shell padding. When you take a digger, the d3o foam becomes intelligent, sensing the impact and hardening instantly to disperse it across the pad instead of through your arm. The result is a light, flexy pad that provides almost as much protection as the stiff hardshell guards you have now. Sick.

I have yet to crash test these, but they are so nice and comfortable compared to my old pads.

The Six Six One Evo d3o Elbow Pad are comfortable, light and protective for mountain bikers of all sorts. I use (or at least bring) mine on almost every ride, cross-country, freeride, or straight downhill - they aren't too bulky to fit in the Camelbak, so why not at least bring them, right? The Six Six One Evo would also be a great elbow pad for dirt jumping or an urban assault. Overall, the Evo d3o Elbow Pad is my #1 - I don't even notice them while I am riding, and when you take a fall, they give you all the protection need - seriously, with the new d3o padding, I feel as protected as when I used to wear my old, bulky hard-shell elbow pads. Highly recommended - in fact, I think it might be time to order some of the Evo d3o knee pads!
