The Bauer Nexus 8000 Hockey Elbow Pads are the premier model in the Nexus Line. The 8000 pad showcases a very protective and very lightweight EPP Foam throughout the bulk of it's construction. Internally, Bauer integrated their new 37.5™ Technology into the liner because it evaporates body sweat and helps to regulate body temperature. 

The Nexus 8000 utilizes a two-piece design with an independent bicep guard. Bauer did this to offer optimal full range of motion while also ensuring the EPP Foam protection stays in place. The enclosure system is also upgraded, featuring a neoprene-like middle strap that securely fastens the pad with supreme comfort. The lower anchor strap consists of a 2" nylon material while the top strap consists of a 1.5" elastic material.
