- I took a tumble wearing some crappy elbow guards. That made me rethink my hot weather armor. We're gonna compare what I got hurt wearing vs. the Leatt's and review.

Just ordered a pair hopefully they are as good as you said in your review. Thank bud. 🇺🇲🤙🏼
Lmk what u think!
I will. 🇺🇲🤙🏼
What do you think Rocky?
@@caliunicyledad4986seems like his arms didn't survive a possible crash
These are my Favorite elbow and knee guards, I have the shin covering kit. ...Spectacular pieces of divine equipment for moto.
You sold me on these...ordered
Had a decent crash of my own lately. Not fun. First time crashing in 1.5 years..... broke a rib and bruised my lungs...... thankfully I was wearing gear! I don't think an any amount of protective gear would've prevented the broken rib though. Mostly thankful for my dirt bike helmet! All I remember is the sound of the dirt and rocks scraping my helmet as i slid down the trail..... then i immediately jumped up, said i was ok, and rode another 17 more miles (didn't feel much pain except my shoulders when lifting my arms at the moment.... felt 100 times worse the next day!! I learned that broken ribs(rib in my case) hurt like a bastard!
Ouch man, I definitely felt worse the next couple days after, body whiplash, ya know.
@@caliunicyledad4986 Yeabsolutely! Exactly that! In my video you can see me bounce offa the ground before sliding(i haven't posted the video yet) scratched a lense on my 360 cam, which bummed me out way more than the broken rib haha....i was afraid of i sent it in that i wouldn't get it back until the end of riding season...... so I'm prolly send it in to get that lense replaced later in the year(depends on how annoying that scratch is and if i can wait that long) but yeah man, my neck, back, and shoulders were heavily effected by the crash. Glad you're OK btw!🤗
Don't mind my typos by the way.....i just noticed them. That's what I get for not proof reading before I hit send! 😁
I have had good luck with the fox Titan pro elbow guards. I've gone down a couple times with them on and been thankful each time 🙏 sorry about your crash dude.
Good to know. The crash was good, it let me know I needed to rethink my hot weather armor. Thanks for the feedback!!
I have those Titans. They are a great idea but poor execution. If they are covering the part of your elbow that hits the ground, AND they stay there during the crash, they are great. Sadly, the strap system sucks. The lose their elasticity and become virtually worthless at securing them in place on your arm. I just busted my right foot in a loop-out a week ago and I didn't even realize I also landed on my elbow (and hip and ribs!). This time the pad rode up my arm to the point where the wrist-end of the pad was at the bend in my elbow. Luckily just some rash. I Have 2 months now to sit in a chair and look for new safety gear!
That sucks man, pads that move when you crash are a total bummer.
@@caliunicyledad4986 Yeah! Elbow pad seems to be one of the most necessary and the most difficult to engineer! Going to give the Leatts a good look myself.
@@alienxyt The leatts have done me good, no complaints or movement, so far.
This video was what convinced me to buy the Leatt 3DF 6.0. It's been a year since the video was posted. Do you still feel the same way? I have heard some people complain that they slide out of place in a crash.
I switched to these because the previous guards i had slid and offered no protection, I actually got messed up pretty bad. These have been tested a few times and performed as expected for me.
Just recovering from a hard face fall on a jump. Lost conscious for about a minute. Lucky I was riding with my son, out in the night desert with our Dogo. Face is half swollen right now with skin rash all over both elbows, and left knee. My helmet had a small gash from a rock. I made the mistake of falling into that "full helm is too much for this trail" and wore a half-helm. I'll never do that again. Anyhow, I have the Leatt 3D EXT Knee Guards (that I wasn't wearing b/c the trail - so i thought - was too easy). Now I just need some guards that protect both elbow and forearm. These look perfect. However, I was looking at the standard LEATT 3DF HYBRID, not the 6.0 but can't find any info on the different/coverage area. Anyhow, thank you for review. Very helpful.
Heal up bud, and ride safe!
@@caliunicyledad4986 Thank you! Just pulled the trigger on the Guards in this video. Thanks!
Cheers
Any idea why is sliding down when I ride my bike???
Hey great Video ..Im looking at a set of these for summer Enduro Riding temps around 30-35 C or 85-95 F . I have the Titian pro ATM but they are three years old & have always moved down my arm while riding so time to replace them. My question is are they hot to wear or does the wicking material keep your arms cool. If they keep the heat in they are no good for me.
Thanks & keep the videos coming
To me they aren't extra warm. The stretchy part will get sweaty but it isn't like I feel a whole lot cooler temperature wise when I take them off. I'd say that heat gain is negligible for me.
How comfortable (soft) are the Leatt's? I've been considering the 6.0's. I love the Leatt kneepads I have (dual axis). I bought a pair of the Leatt 3DF Hybrid elbow pads and they are very uncomfortable - feel very hard against my elbow, which I don't think would be nice in a crash.
I usually forget that I'm wearing these, I find them pretty comfortable. If you size them properly I'd expect you have the same results. Cheers!
Great video!
I'm looking at a set of these. My elbow measurement is 12" and I plan to wear a log sleeve t-shirt under them. Can't make up my mind on either the L or XL. Your thoughts? Thanx!
Hey Daryl thanks for watching I hope your subscribed to! Large measures 11"-12.5" and XL is 12.5"-14". You want them tighter rather than looser. If loose they may slide down. As for a sleeved shirt underneath if you got the xl you may need to always wear the shirt underneath to make sure their tight enough to stay up. The shirt fabric underneath could be bothersome and mess with the fit, the shirt over the top of the pads no problem, maybe an arm sleeve under would fit better. Let me know what you end up deciding, I'm curious. Cheers! Thanks for your support and feedback!
I'm thinking of buying the leatt airflex enduro for elbow riding with my unicycle, think it's a good idea.?
Is that shal made of hard plastic? I cant tell from the video?
The white part is hard and will slide. Underneath is the soft 3df foam I think they call it.
@@caliunicyledad4986 have you gone down with them? 😃
@@Nisotovski They've protected my elbows a few times. I like them because they don't slide and stay in place as long as you size them properly.
@@caliunicyledad4986 thanks i will order one :)
Hey Cali Unicycle Dad! I'm a Unicycle Grandpa!! Curious.. You bought these in July 2020.. and I'm looking now. We're the Leatt's the best choice? Thanks for sharing.
Nice I have the knee pads and need the elbow pads my Next Pads
It's a good investment, I really like mine, I often forget that I'm wearing em.
What is the measurement of your upper arm? You ordered a size large, how well do they fit? Do you think you have the proper size or maybe a different one would be better? Leatt's size chart lists the following:
SM: 7.8" - 8.9"
MD: 8.9" - 11"
LG: 11" - 12.5"
XL: 12.5" - 14"
2XL: 14" - 15.7"
The large fit nice and snug, and are very comfortable and I barely notice they are on. I probably measure at xl, but the last thing I want is even a teeny bit of movement, I need for them to stay in place. Ill see if I can find the fabric measuring tape and see what my recommended size is. I think that as long as theres no discomfort and they are snug, your good to go.
Cali Unicyle Dad, I’m curious to know how your arm measures versus Leatt’s size chart. Your comments are spot-on with my thoughts too; I want elbow (knee, etc) pads to remain in place and not move or shift while riding or during a crash. I measure as an XL but at the lower end of it. I wondered if it’d make sense to order a large instead.
So I measured at 13"
Good vid. So? How'd they hold up months later ? :)
Thanks for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate your support. The guards have only taken one spill so far but taking them on and off every day using my armor hack has them looking and feeling new still. Durability and quality are good so far.
@@caliunicyledad4986 They didn't slide during the spill? And what armor hack!
@@slayyyy They don't slide at all. I'll link the armor hack in the description.
I'll be getting those next.
The dual axis pads put pressure on my shins sometimes as my leg bones are curved more than most people.
hahahah yikes
Leatt elbows compatible with demon flexmeters?
I believe the demons you are talking about are wrist guards, so ya you could wear both!
@@caliunicyledad4986 thanks. just bought a pair (black) thanks to your video
@@masterblasterofdisaster After you got them, would you say they fit well with the flexmeters? Considering some myself
heheheeh you should know better than those 80"s roller skate pads
