Intro & New Features
The new Bauer X Series Intermediate Hockey Elbow Pads are built for the recreational or new-to-hockey players, focusing on an instant fit and comfort with some key features. Bauer has combines a molded component for technical feel with sublimated graphics and liner that no other competitor is using at this point.
Construction
The Bauer X is a one-piece elbow pad that is ergonomically shaped to your forearm, elbow, and upper arm. The upper bicep guard is integrated into the forearm while still being flexible enough to give your arms the range of motion you need while skating and controlling the puck.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
Bauer has specifically constructed the X series to move with you. The bicep region is integrated into the elbow pad with a molded insert to allow you to move freely. The forearm is also molded to wrap your arm nicely with the forearm protector on top to protect you from slashes.
Elbow Cap
The elbow cap features a full coverage anatomical split cap designed to securely lock the elbow in place. The split cap also allows you a full range of motion while still maintaining a high level of protection.
Strapping System
The Bauer X Anchor Strap locks your elbow securely into the pad. Additionally, the elastic bicep strap is permanently stitched across for effortless slip on application.
Liner
The Sublimated Hydrophobic mesh liner wicks away moisture, keeps the elbow pad dry, and is very lightweight. The integrated liner is molded that provides an instant lock-in feel.

The Bauer X Series Intermediate Hockey Elbow Pads are available in Black and in sizes Medium and Large.

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.
