New elbow pads?

Recommended Posts

Ive had some Easton Ultralite elbows since peewee hockey. I think theyre a JR large, but the velcro has stretched so much that they still kinda fit. I'm getting new ones, they don't have to be top-of-the-line, I could care less, I just need a pair that are mobile, protect my elbow, and are comfortable. The Warrior Hitman, and Bauer X:40 look pretty dece. Any suggestions? Thanks

I just picked up Warrior Projekts from another board member. I haven't used them yet as they only came in the mail yesterday, but I tried them on and they feel quite mobile (although the middle strap is slightly tight for me, but it could simply feel that way because these are a medium and my last pads were large). They're also very light - lighter than both the Bauer One90s and Nike V14s I have. They're the lightest high end elbows I've felt (they're lighter than the hustlers I tried on last year), but still have a good level of protection.

Wow, you and I are in the exact same situation, coming from the exact same elbow pad, down to the size and everything!

Weirdness aside, I decided today on a pair of Bauer One95s, as they are quite light and move well with tons of protection. I work at an LHS too, and I'd say the X:40s, One55 or 75s, Hitman or U+ 09s would be a good place to start. All depends on how they fit and move for you.

Sort of an old topic (slow day at the hospital, which I guess is a good thing), but I'm a big fan of my Easton ST16s. For under $50, they're a great buy. Protective, mobile, light, comfortable, and streamlined. I wear them just as much, and like them almost as much, as my Rbk 8k Pro models.

I would have to second the ST16, they are a lot cheaper than a lot of higher end elbows, yet seem to be pretty comparable. I bought a pair and wore them for the first time yesterday, and they were really comfortable, didn't slip around at all, and were very protective. They are definitely on par with my friends 9k's.

I also recommend the ST 16's by Easton. Just as good as my Jofa 9144's and less bulky and expensive.
