    Default decent elbow pads?

    Almost every time I fall I get rashes on my elbows, I`ve been using cheapo pads you get at the sport store, but they ussualy get pulled off when I bail. Rashes ussualy are minimal and wouldn`t bother me so much, but I play guitar in a band so I sometimes catch the rash on the strap or something and start randomly bleeding, during songs and stuff....It may look "cool" on stage but f***ing up a t-shirt every rehersal isn`t very practical. what do you recoment? Also, most rashes I see are on the hips and elbows, yet almost nobody wears elbow pads. Whys that? I was thinking the longer pads, that extend to the forearm, I kinda don`t see those geting pulled off.

    elbo pads aren't aero...

    protec makes good pads all around. just put them on tight and then attach slide pucks to them. they'll last for ever.

    If your pads are pulling down then they are too big. Most any skateboard elbow pad should work for you. Smith's, Old Skool Rectors if you can find them, and the best on the market are ProDesigned though they are bulky and expensive. Remember the rule, if you buy garbage no name pads you get exactly that.

    old skool rectors: Rector Protector Elbow Pads, Protective Gear - Allegro Board Sports

    I'm going to have to agree with DMBH, there is no way you are going to find good Aero. I use the protec elbow-pads when I feel "uncomfortable" about a hill or I just want some extra padding and They work great. No slippage and considerably comfortable for pads. They are going to be your best bet and see if anywhere near sells them, ordering them online works but its better to go somewhere and try on different sizes for comfortability and stuff like that.
