NRS Elbow Pad question

I am looking to get new elbow pads for4 creeking (tired of the hockey pads I use now shifting and falling off at inopportune moments due to the velcro not holding any more).
Tried the Shred Ready ones in a store once and did not like them too much, they seemed to shift too much.
Now I found the NRS Elbow Pads on their website, they sound really good and I like what I see on the pictures:

Is anyone using those?
Comments?
How is the protection?
Do they stay on?
How is the mobility?

Thanks for any comments!

The look pretty nice with fore arm protection as well as elbow. I used skate board pads from Walmart (you get what you pay for) and the "bomber" pads which I really like (low profile and well padded). The problem with them is that I think the company is out of business. http://www.bombergear.com/5810.html
But if you look around you can find them on the cheap. Keep us posted since I'll be replacing mine in a year or so.

I think that the NRS pads look nice.

I had the shred ready pads, and hated them. I have also seen like four variations of the shred ready pads. so if you were to prder a set who knows what you would get.

Currently I use 661 Race-lites. I am very pleased with these. They don't slip and I forget that they are there...exactly what I want.

also check out the azonic pads, they make great bicycling gear, basically same as 661. but both seem to work.
hope you find something.

those look pretty good. buy 'em and give us a report!

i use six-six-one pads. i think they're called the 2x4? they are super comfy and never move.
...though i have wished for a little more armor a couple of times.

You have seen my 661 pads. They work well and they are light. You can order on line.
