elbow pads

[Boylsie]

hey!

i bought some eclipse elbow pads in the just paintball sale, i measures myself according to the eclipse sizing guide and it said i needed large, so i ordered large and they are bit too big.
ive only just noticed having put them on now

the bit that covers the hand with the thumb hole is quite loose, then around my arm it feels alright but if i push the bottom padding it is very loose and slides up and down my arm easily
and at the bicep it is very large with a lot of extra material.

what should i do? they have only got large and x large left, should i get into bodybuilding and get my arms bigger or should i keep them?

thanks

Looser pads = more bounce.

ok thanks
i was just wondering as when sliding i didnt want to rip the elastic thumb/hand peice

Remember if you bulk up you may get slower

Cook$ is right mate, and trust me you don't want elbow pads that actually fit just right. After a few washes, they will shrink a tad and become tight and bloody uncomfortable so if they are a size bigger, then it's no biggie at all. No need to hit the weights, unless you are 8 stone piss wet through

hmm i must admit your pads ended up alittle tight on my arms at the end of the last CPPS, probs cause my muscles swelled up during the day lol.

i wouldnt go proper fit, ants pads were loose at the start of days play but after an hour or two i was glad of it.
