Comments: These aren't the cats meow, but they certainly get the job done. I bought these because they were the only ones left at the store, but they were worth the money and I've used them the whole season. Buy if you're on a budget.
From: Logan, Sturgis, SD

Comments: For the price these pads would be hard to beat. I play adult leauge hockey and replaced an old pair that would not stay in place. These lock into place and stay put for the entire game. Very protective while allowing good movement.
From: Byron

Comments: Id recommend these elbow pads to anyone who doesn't have much to spend! They are very protective, i have never hurt my elbow or any area that this piece of equipment covers while wearing them. The straps are very snug, iv used these 2-4 times a week and they still look like new. CHEAP. PROTECTIVE. Get them if you need cheap elbows
