These pads are ideal for the recreational player who wants to get out on the ice with solid protection without having to worry about breaking the bank. It includes various features true to the Vapor line, including a sublimated Thermomax liner, two-piece Fit caps, and strategically placed comfort lock straps.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
The bicep and forearm are independent of each other, so you can have more freedom in your movements. PE inserts in the forearm have been molded anatomically to provide solid impact protection.
Elbow Cap
The elbow caps are two-piece for better movement and more flexibility. The Fit caps have an anatomical fit and have been molded to fit closer to your arm, subsequently making the pads much more efficient and seamless to move in.
Strapping System
The Velocity elbow pads use comfort lock straps, which have a good balance between toughness and flexibility. These straps vary in design across the elbow pad, depending on what they are strapping in, so you can have the closest and most comfortable fit possible that won’t impede your game.

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.
