The Bauer X Elbow Pad is a great choice for the new-to-hockey or recreational player looking for higher-end comfort, protection and mobility. The Bauer X boasts thick foams and plastic inserts in key impact areas, such as the bicep and forearm, for strategic coverage. Bauer used their unique split elbow cap and independent bicep designs to provide mobility typically reserved for more expensive pads. Both of these features not only help promote better range of motion but they prevent gaps in protection by keeping the pads in place during dynamic movements. Internally, the Bauer X utilizes thick medium density foams for comfort and impact absorption. It is then topped with hydrophobic mesh that is very soft to the touch and does a good job of wicking away moisture too. 

Protection Features:

• Two-piece tapered fit
• Molded cap with a MD foam cover
• Molded PE forearm protection
• MD foam with independent bicep protection
• Liner with hydrophobic mesh technology
• Elastic middle strapping system

BAUER ELBOW PAD SIZING GUIDELINES

With your arm bent at a 90° angle, measure the length from the back of the elbow to the wrist crease. Correspond your arm measurement to an elbow pad size using the table below. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose to go with the smaller size for a better range of motion and a more snug fit. Going larger will provide you with a little more coverage in protection and more volume in the fit.

2021 Bauer Intermediate Sizing Update: If you previously wore a Bauer Junior LG Elbow Pad, select an Intermediate MD. If you previously wore a Bauer Senior SM Elbow Pad, select an Intermediate LG. Bauer designed these new Intermediate sizes to better fit the body of players between Junior and Senior sizing.
