Hey everyone, long time viewer, first time poster here.

So I've been working pretty consistently on my gear and suit for about 3 years now, but there's always been one thing I've left out whenever I wear the suit, the elbow pads. Usually this is fine because I tend to wear the sleeves rolled up anyway, but on a colder day or a later night troop I think it would be great to have them included with the sleeves down.

Now, I do own a pair of the GBfans pads, and they're great for what they are, probably as accurate as I could want. However, they're pretty large on me. I'm a smaller guy, about 5'3" and 140 pounds, so the elbows don't exactly fill out as well in the pads as it may for most people. So I wanted to see if anyone had any accurate alternatives that would work on a smaller scale. I'm alright with going outside of the canon too for something like this as a lot of my stuff lays pretty custom anyway, but it would be awesome to keep that iconic look.

Appreciate any input you all may have!
