Hi I’m looking to buy some elbow pads/kneepads and some slide shorts and hoped you could give me some advice on if I’m buying the right thing and what sizes I should get. I’m looking to buy:

Dye 07 slide shorts
Dye elbow pads/ Planet eclipse distortion pads
Dye Knee pads

These are my measurements but I’m only 16 so still growing. :)
Waist: 71cm
Thigh: 50cm
Knee: 40cm
Shin: 35cm
Elbow: 27cm
Wrist: 20cm

i always size down (its easier to stretch a pad out than try to shrink it)

oh yeah never put eclipse pads in the drier (fish has seen the proof)

Elbow pads don't have to fit. I used to wear a pair of Mantis pads, as they were pretty loose. All about the bounce.
