"With more female athletes climbing the ranks in professional and recreational hockey, it’s becoming even more important to make sure those players are getting the gear that fits them right, and as early as possible. Having accessible, properly fitting gear is integral for players to both play at their best and avoid injury."
Intro & New Features
Designed specifically for Women, Bauer has released the Vapor Fly-W elbow pads. These elbow pads are tailored for Women and feature a low profile design, new sleeve construction, and a floating bicep with a PE insert, all of which make this shin guard a great option for female hockey players.
Elbow Cap
The elbows are protected with a unique and innovative design. The deep fitting, low profile elbow caps are constructed to stay in place, while the player moves on the ice. This design stays in place, and when adjusted correctly, it doesn’t allow for unwanted movements, keeping players covered at all times.
Bicep Protection
To protect the biceps, Bauer implemented a floating bicep design with molded PE protection. The floating bicep design allows the padding to be lightweight, so that players aren’t feeling restricted from movements. The padding is reinforced with molded PE protection, which keeps the players arms protected, reducing the risk of injuries.
Forearm Protection
The short, low profile forearm design keeps the gear sleek, and provides a less bulky feel. This allows players to not feel restricted while wearing these elbow pads, promoting mobility and easier movements. The 360 insert that Bauer added is designed to wrap around and comfortably hug the forearm, providing protection from impacts with the molded foams that are extremely durable.
Strapping
The elbow pads feature a comfort sleeve with a lock strap. The comfort sleeve is designed to hold the elbow and surrounding areas in place, and adapt to the way they move on the ice, without allowing for any unwanted movements. The lock straps reinforce the security of this elbow pad allowing players to continue playing the game they love without worrying about potential injuries.
Liner
These elbow pads are designed with Bauer’s Nanosense liner, which features a blend of technology that brings a soft and cool feel. The liner has also been coated with a sweat and odor-managing treatment to keep the gloves fresher for longer.

Player Elbow Pad Sizing
- Things to consider:
- Age, Height and Weight
- Level of Play
- Length of Area of Desired Protection
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.
