PEARL IZUMI Elevate Elbow Guards: Uncompromising Protection & All-Day ComfortFor the trail rider who pushes boundaries and demands the highest level of performance from their gear, the PEARL IZUMI Elevate Elbow Guards deliver confidence-inspiring protection without sacrificing all-day wearability. When the terrain gets technical and the stakes are high, you need protection that you can completely trust and forget you're even wearing. These guards are engineered to be your reliable partner on every descent, from fast-flowing singletrack to the most aggressive enduro stages.Real comfortable, real protection, that's the Elevate Elbow Guard. Our original Elevate Elbow Guards raised the bar for comfort and protection. We've updated our most robust elbow guards with TPU skid plates to make them even more durable. Laser perforations through the skid plate and ventilated D30® armor keep these guards cool while the extended sleeve design keeps them comfortably in place. This commitment to blended performance means you no longer have to choose between substantial protection and breathable comfort. The Elevate is designed to move with you, providing a second-skin feel that never restricts your ability to navigate challenging lines or make quick adjustments on the bike.The core of the Elevate's protective capability lies in its intelligent design. It is built to handle significant impacts while helping you stay cool under pressure. The advanced padding system provides certified CE level 1 protection, utilizing a viscoelastic material renowned for being soft and flexible during normal movement, yet instantly hardening upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy. This is further enhanced by an exterior skid plate, meticulously designed with laser perforations not only for superior abrasion resistance but also to promote crucial airflow, preventing heat build-up on long, demanding rides. The combination of these elements ensures that whether you have a minor spill or a major crash, your elbows are shielded from both impact and abrasion. Durability is paramount, and the use of 4-way stretch woven materials ensures these guards can withstand the rigors of mountain biking season after season, all without adding restrictive bulk or unnecessary weight.
