The CCM Tacks Vector Plus Hockey Elbow Pad is a Source for Sports Exclusive product. The Vector Plus is based off the Tacks 9040 Elbow, with upgraded features giving you added value.
Construction
The Vector Plus Elbow pad 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 Protection
The bicep guard on the Vector Plus is it’s own piece of protection the moves with your arm as you need it. The bicep is protected with a molded PE insert, and has extended protection that gives you extra coverage on the outside part of your elbow.
Forearm Protection
The forearm of the Vector Plus has a molded PE guard that wraps your forearm comfortably, while providing you good coverage.
Elbow Cap
The elbow cap features JDP (Joint Dispersing Protection) that is designed to disperse impact away from your elbow joint.
Strapping System
The strapping system features 3 separate straps; a bicep guard strap, a lycra mesh strap internal strap, and a forearm strap. The bicep features a standard elastic bicep strap with velcro to lock in place. The forearm features two separate straps. The first strap, an upgrade from the Tacks 9060, is a lycra mesh piece that helps secure the elbow pad in place, and prevent the elbow pad from slipping. The second strap is attached to the forearm protection which overlays the lycra mesh strap, to fasten the forearm guard securely.
Liner
The liner of the Vector Plus elbow features a nylon fabric, yellow in the bicep guard, and black in the elbow and forearm protection.

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.
