Pearl Izumi Summit Elbow Guard

Because they use D30 viscolastic padding, the material stays flexible while you ride and only hardens upon impact. Combined with the four-way stretch fabric, they feel more like a sleeve than a rigid brace, allowing for a full range of motion.

They are designed with a longer profile and silicone-backed elastic grippers to keep them securely in place. This setup helps prevent the pads from migrating, even when you're sweating or moving aggressively on the trail.

Yes, they are built with breathability in mind. The inner arm features a mesh panel that promotes airflow, helping to vent heat and keep you cooler than traditional, fully enclosed pads.

These guards are rated CE Level 1, which is the standard for trail riding protection. They are designed to absorb energy during a crash while remaining lightweight and low-profile enough for all-day comfort.

Absolutely. The slim, low-profile design is specifically engineered to fit comfortably under most mountain bike jerseys without adding unnecessary bulk.
