Exclusive to Source for Sports, the new Bauer Supreme Matrix INT Hockey Elbow Pads use top of the line features from the UltraSonic and 3S Pro and packages it into a great value option. With Bauer’s new AMP (Active Motion Protection) technology, molded 360 forearm, and Thermo Max liner, this anatomically fitting shin pad not only has elite level protection, but allows for little to no restrictions in your movements.
Construction
The Bauer Matrix is a two-piece constructed elbow pad that is ergonomically shaped to your forearm, elbow and upper arm. The upper bicep guard is a separate piece attached to the forearm and elbow protection, giving your arms range of motion when skating and controlling the puck.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
The bicep is independently constructed from the elbow cap and forearm. It is molded to wrap nicely around the bicep without interfering with any elbow movements. The bicep also has a molded polyethylene insert for added protection.
Elbow Cap
The Bauer Supreme Matrix is specifically constructed to move with you. It offers a full coverage anatomical split cap design. The elbow cap features AMP (Active Motion Protection) that allows the elbow pad to move freely with your motions. Additionally, the cap is equipped with vented armour foam. It is lightweight, breathable, and disperses impacts.
Strapping System
New to the Supreme Matrix elbow pad is the Venteprene strapping system. It is a lightweight, stretchy material that comfortably wraps around your forearm to lock the elbow pad in place.
There is also a standard strap along the top to hold the bicep protector in the correct place.
Liner
Bauer’s Thermo Max liner is infused with an antimicrobial and sweat management system to keep your body temperature regulated and allow the elbow pad to dry quickly after use.

Hockey Elbow Pads Sizing Information
When fitting or trying on elbow pads, there are a few things to look at to make sure you have a proper fit. To start, make sure your elbow is placed in the center of cup or designated area and fasten the elbow pad using the straps. You will want to make sure that elbow pad is snug and secure and will not slip off the elbow joint. As well, move your arms around with each pad on, range of motion is key, and you will feel mobility differences in each product. If the elbow pad is too big it will shift and slide around on your arm. If it is too small your elbow will feel like it is sitting above the pad.
Elbow pad strapping is semi-adjustable, so if you find a pad that you like the feel of on your arm, adjust the straps until it fits securely. If the strapping feels too tight against your arm and you are unable to loosen it further, this is a good sign that you may need a bigger size. As well if you have fully tightened the strapping and the elbow pad is still loose or shifting on your arm, a size down will probably work better.
When looking at different elbow pads, there are a variety of different features to choose from. Some models will be offered in a soft elbow cap (although this is becoming more uncommon) and other will come with a hard plastic shell. As well, strapping systems can change and straps such as anchor straps or lock strap with provide a better lock to the pad than a regular elastic strap. These features are personal preference and usually are dictated by price range as well as brand. Once you have a feel for what you like or dislike you can narrow your choices.
When viewing sizing online, most elbow pads will be offered in Small, Medium and Large. Sizing charts are provided below and on each product to double check where you line up and as well list all the sizes available. These charts are for reference only and personal preference is a factor as well when looking for the best fit.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, put on your shoulder pad and gloves and have someone measure the space/gap in between (in inches) to determine the proper sizing.
