Elbow Pad Upgrade

[sonicapollo 0]

I'm currently sporting Vapor X30s for adult league play. I'd like to upgrade to something better, but don't want to restrict my mobility as I'm not in rough and tumble style of play. (Though I'm not against good protection) The Vapor 30s work ok, but I'm really not a fan of the strap near the inside fold of the elbow. Some of the bigger pads look like they might even move easier than my old vapors. (like the eq30/50), but as I don't have first hand experience I don't know where to go.

i recently bought the eq50's because of the bicep strap being adjustable. instead of just being a regular strap, it's more of an elastic with a tesioner strap attached if you want it tighter. the strap that runs the middle of the forearm/elbow area is pretty comfortable also. haven't had to fall hard on them yet, but they seem like they are gonna be like pillows on my arms

Go to your LHS and try a few pairs on. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Reebok line. That being said, whatever fits you the best is the way to go.

I hated that thing too on the x30 so I decided to go up to the x40 and love them.

i just upgraded from x30's to totalone elbows. i really like the feel of the eq50 but i just couldnt find a comfortable size, the medium was too tight on my bicep and the large was too loose on my elbow no matter how tight i cranked it. moving from a low end pad to a high end pad, i really liked the feel of the bicep being separate and having soft straps

Like others have said, try looking at the upper end EQ series pads with the adjustable forearm/bicep straps (40,50)

Isn't the stealth S19 pretty similar, but less bulky?
