The Easton Stealth S19 hockey elbow pads are the premier elbow pads from Easton.
Easton has used dense plastic inserts in both the slash guard and bicep guard to offer a high level of protection. The S19 elbow pad offers a good size elbow and forearm guard that is constructed out of dense molded plastic. Easton has also used an EVA bumper on the outer part of the shell. This helps increase protection to yourself and to others on the rink.
The Stealth S19 elbow pad features Easton has also used their X-strapping system that utilizes three straps on the forearm and one strap on the bicep to ensure the pad stays in place. The two crossing straps are neoprene offering increased comfort. The lower strap on the slash guard is a nylon material because it is not in contract with the arm and does not allow for any stretch to lock the pad down.
Easton is not using the Bio-Dri liner, instead they are using mesh material to allow for more air flow from the six vent holes in the forearm cap. Easton has also used grip printing on the liner to prevent the pad from moving during play.

Previous Feedback
Comments: My 2nd choice after Reebok 11K's. The 4 straps don't bite into the forearm, and the pads provide pro-level protection. Good mobility, but keep the arm from getting hyper-extended. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Good price.
