well i used to wear DYE C9 elbow pads in medium before taking a fancy to PE's 2011 range.

now wearing 2011 PE elbows in small which fit perfectly.

DYE stuff tends to run small so buy one size up from what you normally wear IMO.

then again, best bet would be to consult both the DYE and PE sizing guides to make the final judgement call.

If you have the chance to try them on do so, Nxe and Dye stuff is ridiculously small sized so buy bigger than you think you'll need.

Planet and Angel pads seem "normally" sized, as do Sly.

Thats all I can really offer in terms of advice. Apart from the fact you don't want pads too loose, in fact take into account if they're reasonably tight at the start they'll stretch and break in as the neoprene and foam gets bashed about, if they fit comfortably at the start they'll probably end up a bit loose.
