Just traded my 7K pros in for these and my god, so light, flexible and nicely fitting.  These things are amazing. They have a huge strap range so i can get a smaller size, fits with my cuffs so much better as well.

 

Any one else out there have these?

I had similar experience couple years ago. i went from 8k pros to CCM RBZ and man, these elbows are amazing. Nowadays retail ccm protective equip is number one imo.


it looked odd, but i still grabbed a pair...

What size 7K were you using ?
Wondering what retail sizing is closest to RBK/Jofa sizing ?

Size 4, I have pretty thick arms so it makes me have to look at larges retail but length on mediums is perfect.

They look nice and mobile, but I can use all the forearm length I can get. If they had double length forearms as an option, that would be great.

Also considering making the switch from 19k pro to RBZ/Quicklite.

The reebok/Jofa elbows are bombproof but even with basically zero cuff they're restricting. Hoping these elbows allow for more wrist movement

I think youll be pleasantly surprised. I went from only no cuffs 13n, to being able to use most gloves

RBZs are definitely glove-friendly elbows.

Excellent,thanks.

I don't have skinny arms myself but found the 7K perfect in a size 4 but would always have wanted the forearm length a little shorter.

So it looks like I should be looking at a Quicklite/RBZ medium eh ?

I also love that if I strap them up properly they don't move but also don't have to be so tight that they cutoff circulation.

yeah exactly.  Its a different world with the elbow to cuff interaction

Seem pretty comparable to the CL's. My straps are starting to go so these will be a nice alternative.

That's my biggest gripe with my Vapors, I'll have to give these a shot.

Did you find much difference in how the RBZ's and QL elbows felt?

Actually a little bit. The quicklites seem to have a little bigger bicep protection where I found the RBZs lacked that. Also it seems like you have more Velcro on the center strap to work with. They also seem like they don't twist as much. Seems like the elbow cap wraps a little more around your elbow. I like em better.
