Pearl Izumi Elevate Elbow Guard

Yes, they are designed specifically for long days in the saddle. The combination of four-way stretch fabric and an open-back design prioritizes airflow and mobility, making them less restrictive than traditional hard-shell pads.

The D3O viscoelastic material remains flexible while you are riding, allowing for full range of motion. Upon impact, the molecules lock together instantly to absorb and dissipate energy, providing CE Level 1 protection before returning to its soft, pliable state.

They feature elastic grippers with silicone print specifically designed to keep the pads securely in place. While fit can vary by arm shape, this system is generally effective at preventing slippage during technical terrain.

Absolutely. They are built for enduro and trail disciplines, offering a balance of impact protection and breathability that meets the demands of high-intensity riding without overheating.

Pearl Izumi offers these in sizes ranging from X-Small to X-Large. We recommend measuring the circumference of your bicep and forearm to ensure a snug, secure fit, as the effectiveness of the silicone grippers depends on the pads sitting flush against your skin.
