I have two boys who play tackle football plus a husband who coaches youth and high school football. I think I've purchased just about every football related product out there. This brand of elbow pad is the best one out there- it's light and breathable unlike the neoprene pads, the little hex pads offer nice protection where they need it, and it doesn't end up smelly like the other arm pads I've purchased. I searched high and wide for these bad boys in every Sports store in our area- they have all the other "popular" brands (they're terrible!) and Eastbay is sold out of the smaller sizes (for a reason!).
Trust me on this...your kid will love them and so will you when they avoid the inevitable gash to the elbow from a helmet. Yep, it will happen, Mom. Be prepared.

I am a karate instructor with over 8 years of teaching experience. There are a lot of good martial arts products out there, but sometimes you have to look outside the box to find what you want.

Problem: students punching and blocking full-force with other students. This often leads to lots of bruising on the forearms, especially when one student happens to be really bony.

These pads are the solution. The quality is vastly higher than anything else I've seen, and they do a great job of reducing the impact without getting in the way.

Purchased these for a rather tall 8 yr old. Size M, sizing chart good for these. The technology is great with these and they are super comfortable compared to any normal arm pad I have worn. Heat is a concern in the south and these should provide excellent heat diss.

I bought these to wear in the Merrel Down & Dirty Mud Run and they were great! They stayed on through all of the obstacles - even the mud pit! All of my friends were jealous because after the race, I was the only one without bruised elbows! They also look pretty cool on, I'll definitely wear them in my next race.

I purchased these pads for my younger brother. The package contains two pads. They fit great and offer superb protection. Highly recommended for all the football lineman out there.

This forearm device is a bit too thin to offer much protection for sparring and blocking. It has a snug fit and if all you need is a little protection then this is a good choice. It does cause sweating.

I purchased these for my son when he came home after every game with bruises up and down his forearms. They worked beautifully. No more sore arms after a hard fought game!

i ordered wrong size - be sure you measure correctly - i'd err on the larger size

I was not impressed with the product. I tried it on, and although it fit comfortably the padding was so thin that while testing it, even light hits from my kids were able to be felt through the Hexpad. To top it off, after I returned the product, I found it at a local sports store for half the price.

We are using this product for my daughter with special needs to protect her arms. These pads are light-weight and well constructed. The material is not itchy and she wears them without complaint. I will be ordering a second pair soon.
