| These pads won’t slip and will save your forearms from scratches. The inner-arm vented material lets your skin breath and protects
you at the same time. The flexible elbow pad conforms to your body and provides ultimate protection when
your arms are in motion. The forearm padding is high density EVA molded foam with abrasion resistant
materials that will last a long time.

| Review: |
thess were and are my first elbow pads. i got tired of ending up with prickies in my arms after comin back from the field. With these pads, they do NOT slip around at all (assuming you got the right size). Also, they make me feel more confident about playing in just a t shirt. And, if you have a nice dye t, and some dye gloves, all the ho's will be followin you around.. :p no really, it looks good. There are a couple bad things about these, however.
THe meshing always seems to find a way to attach itself to some velcrow, and get little fluffs pulled out.
Once you get them on, they are tight, and arent going anywhere.
they can get hot.
they have to be hand washed, or you risk a chance of ripping the mesh. |
|
| Conclusion: |
all in all, a nice product. syle and function. The price is worth it if you want some kick ass elbow pads. be ready to sweat a lot, however. |

| Review: |
I love them. At first I thought since I play back that they wouldn't come in handy but they do. I normally take one or more bounces in tournaments off of these pads.
They look sweet! They keep your elbos and forearms safe from rugged play.
100 words is really too many, trust me they are good pads and even though they may cost 30-40$ they are worth every penny
|
|
| Conclusion: |
They are made by DYE which means Quality if you ask me. They give you protection you need, and feel like there are none on. |

|
| Strengths: |
Awesome.
Very secure. They won't slid up or down on your arm or even twist around. Once you get them on they stay where you put them.
Comfy. Once on you all but forget about them. They are very comfortable and offer excellent padding. They are very breathable as well. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Wait. I waited for these things for about 3 weeks. DYE was back ordered to hell on almost everything they make.
Tight. They are very hard to get on and off. However this leads to them being very secure once they are on so it's not really a bad thing.
When you wash them don't use a washing machine. Hand wash them only! Then hang them to dry otherwise you can damage the fine mesh on the inside.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Absolutely amazing. I love these things. Very comfy once you get them on, very secure and good padding. All around I say they are an excellent purchase.
I would recommend these to any front player or player that finds themselves doing lots of superman's into their bunkers. They will help keep your forearms a little less bruised and bloodied.
Some people may find the price to steep for them. If you can afford them, get them, if you can't why are you still reading this?? |

| Strengths: |
There a good pad if you wear a baggy jersey keeps you cool and refreshed. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Kinda hard cant think of anything else other than that it is an awsome pad. |
|
| Review: |
ok i love dye but these pads are kinda hard. Also if your jersey is not that lose you have a good chance of the ball breaking but if you wear a big jersey you should be fine. they keep you cool and you will like them alot. If i play without them i feel like naked or something like that. they help alot one game i got like 6 bounces off of them and the guy was like 20 ft away and we were going at it. so if i was you i would look around first or try them out. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I myself might buy empire vents or system x pads good pads by the way my friend has them. |

| Review: |
Overall they dye pads are awesome. Sure theyre a bit pricy but more than worth it. Besides the great protection and such, they look sweet. also if you get the elbow pads, you might as well get the knee pads. as long as i have my dye pads, i'll never buy another pair. ive caught more lucky bounces and theyre just awesome for crawling etc.etc.... |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want some awesome pads, get the dye elbow pads. |

| Review: |
Well I got these because I was sick of coming home with patches of skin missing from my arms. So I got these and I'm very happy with them. I thought that they would restrict my movement but nope. Sometimes when its hot I play with a sleeveless shirt and these. I've taken direct hits to the elbows with and without these and they make a big difference. And they really protect you when you slide. The only problem with these is that the stitching on the pads is coming off so eventually the pads are gonna fall off. But I was probably gonna get some new ones in a while anyways. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These are great pads. I can't say they are the best out there cause I've only used them but they are definitly better than nothing. If your looking for some good pads check these out...just make sure you get the right size. |

| Review: |
I bought these things because I play front & am always sliding (scraping my arms). I wanted to get a good pair of elbow pads that were comfortable. I don't regret spending the $$$ I did on them they are well worth it. Once I put them on I forgot they were there until it was time to go home from the field. That's how comfortable they are. Only problem is that from a full days worth of balling, mixed with sweat they are a little hard to get off. That's before you get to break them in though. I get bounces all day on them & bruises on my forearms are a thing of the past. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you play alot......... I recommend these to you. They are made by DYE which should speak for itself. This is worthy of all avid paintball players. Don't forget you get bounces off them, so when you go to snap shoot & get hit in that exposed part of your forearm not only will you not have a bruise but more than likely the ball wont break either |

| Review: |
Awesome pads, I got these when I knew I was going to be playing a lot more hardcore, and I am very glad I did, they have saved my arms from getting bruised and or broken several times, I really need to take some hard dives off the break when heading to the 50 and these pads assure that I wont get hurt while doing so. If you want the best, go for the dye.
And as an added bonus, every now and then you can get a bounce or two off them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I love these pads, they fit me great, never slip. I would recomend them to anybody who is serious and really wants to get into this sport. |

|
| Strengths: |
Great protection when crawling around. Elbows and forearms are well covered. I get bounces on them all of the time. Yes... they are legal to wear. I find them not to be a nusence but comfortable rather. Good fit. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I think that the stitching that holds them together needs improvement. They fit nice but when you go to take them off after a day of heavy sweating (and play of course), I have to take them off carefully b/c the stitching tends to rip apart easily. Not a really big deal but hey... I always have one complaint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great product. Comfortable, protective, and bouncy... you know what I mean. |

Just my old Ridell football elbow pads. The Dye are way better. |

| Marker Setup: |
ACI F4 Illustrator TP, 12" Smart Parts Progressive barrel, Palmer Stabilizer,68cu 3000psi Crossfire Stub Air Tank, VL 200 and Dye stickies |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The Dye Elbow pads are very well constructed. Everything is double stitched and they cover you forearms as well.
These pads don't slip at all. The actual padding is thick, lightweight and in the right places. They're easy to move in and they let in a pretty good amount of air so they don't get very sweaty. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only thing bad about these is that it took so long to get them. Dye had them back ordered or something. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These are really nice pads. Now when I run and dive into places I don't even think about banging my forearms. I would highly reccomend these to anyone who is looking for elbow pads. They are a little bit more expensive than some other brands but I think they are totally worth it. |
