I find I have to pull them so far the velcro doesn't have much left to bite on. I guess the designers didn't intend them to be used in water all the time.... hehehe

Has anyone tried the Shred Ready Tsunami or IR Swellbo? Also, here's some Level Six ones that I just found that are expensive, but look nice.

I really prefer the ones that have sleeves like the Swellbos, but I have to use a L/XL to make it fit on my arm, and I don't have very big arms. The sleeve ends up covering my wrist to shoulder, but I don't know if that is how they are designed. The sleeved designs just fit better, and can't come loose like the velcro ones.

Golder Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 96 Thank you received: 0	hmm 661 or evs?... My main issue is the coverage on the inside of the elbow....ya know the part of your elbow that touches your torso if your arms are hanging to your sides? Happens when you gotta bust a beck deck roll and expose your inside arm to the river bed. Anybody able to vouch as to what model has the better coverage? Thanks all!
