Nothing heavy duty but will take some general washout/otb moments while trail riding and be relatively breathable.

Have been looking at troy lee, g-form and will be interested in the new Fox enduro ones.

Any oothers worth considering? Budget around £50.

Cheers

Only ones I've ever been happy with are POC Bones- which are proper massive heavy duty downhill-looking kit which is offputting, but once on they're less restrictive and less sweaty than any soft pads I've used, because they're not so enclosing and they're articulated rather than bendy. Bit counterintuitive and tbh there are times when I feel like a knob wearing them but they are that good.

Take a look at IXS Flow elbow pads. I dont have them but I do have the knee version and am beyond happy with them. So light and comfy, you just forget they are there. Also bang on your budget.

I've tried quite a few and my current troy Lee shock doctor are pretty good

Race Face are the only ones that I've found that stay in place in a crash
