Newly updated from CCM for 2022 is the Tacks AS protective line. The AS-V elbow pads are equipped with many features ideal for players at any level of hockey looking for elite coverage, including D3O foam, ADPTFit, an Anatomical Shield Design, and a molded EVA foam cover. CCM has been further optimizing their ASD construction for this line of protectives to enhance both comfort and coverage.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
The forearm of the pad is protected by a tough, injection-molded Slash Shield and covered along the inside with a sublimated liner. The liner is designed with premium comfort in mind and additionally enhances protection.
The bicep is covered by a two-piece floating, articulated and reinforced bicep guard. The two-piece construction is built to give you pro-level protection, no matter how you move on the ice.
Elbow Cap
The JDP elbow features D3O foam on the inside of the cap and is covered with molded EVA foam along the outside. D3O is top-tier material for absorbing and dispersing impact force, which means in the AS-V that it can greatly ensure your elbows are well-protected against any and all impact. The design is wider to cover more surface area and better disperse impact shock.
Strapping System
The AS-V Pro uses an ADPTFit strap and a 360° wraparound forearm strap to ensure a close fit without interfering with the Slash Shield. The forearm strap wraps underneath the padding and is made of tough nylon with a high-tensile weave, keeping it durable and out of the way.
Liner
CCM opted for a sublimated, antimicrobial mesh liner for the AS-V Pro. This liner is soft, stretchy, and promotes aeration, keeping you dry and snug throughout the game. Inside at the apex, there is an open gap that fits around your elbow, preventing unwanted vibration from reaching the bone. For even more comfort and protection, the AS-V has extra padding under the liner.

The AS-V Senior elbow pads come in Small, Medium, Large, and XLarge sizes.

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.
