Bauer Vapor 3X Intermediate Elbow Pads

Ice hockey players looking to improve their performance should not be hindered by the weight or bulk of their protective gear. The various components of these elbow pads ensure flexibility, comfort, mobility, and protection for performance-level players.

The Bauer Vapor 3X elbow pads are composed of three distinct parts: elbow, forearm, and bicep. The elbow is protected by a molded plastic cap that offers additional protection and a secure fit. By distributing the force during impacts, the risk of injury is minimized. Players enjoy good flexibility despite the rigidity of the material, which is essential for their performance. The cap adapts to the shape of the elbow, minimizing pressure points and improving player comfort. The lightweight molded plastic prevents players from feeling weighed down on the ice, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury. The same goes for the polyethylene used for the bicep. The molded PE insert at the bicep provides excellent shock protection. Even though the material is stiff, it is flexible enough to allow freedom of movement on the ice. Like molded plastic, PE is used for its durability and wear resistance. Pressure points and friction are reduced, offering a comfortable fit. The insert also helps keep the equipment in place. The standard foam in the bicep area also contributes to player comfort.

The forearm is equipped with 360° anatomically molded protection. This ensures complete coverage, with the entire surface protected against impacts and blows. The protection adapts to the natural shape of the forearm, allowing for a precise and comfortable fit. This protection offers flexibility, allowing players to maintain a full range of motion on the ice. The elbow pads are secured with straps that adapt to each player. A strap at the biceps allows for an ideal tightening, one at the elbow provides good support and protects against irritation and rubbing. The last one at the forearm, allows players to tighten the strap as they wish according to their body shape, thus aligning the equipment with their glove. The THERMOMAX lining effectively wicks away moisture, reducing discomfort during exertion and preventing bad odors. Players benefit from greater comfort even when spending more time on the ice. The design of this limited edition adds an extra touch of style to players on the ice.
