Important Video Note: This video was shot using the specs found on the Sr size elbow pad. CCM's new U Foam material was not used in the construction of the Jr size pad as the video states.
The CL elbow pad's extended bicep guard and forearm protection area are made of single density foams with plastic inserts and the hard molded elbow caps are reinforced with a single density foam to help disperse the energy upon impact.
