The Warrior Franchise Hockey elbow pads are the premier elbow pads from Warrior. The Franchise has the same pro level quality as the Projekt elbow pad, but is more focused on protection with function. The Franchise elbow pads are meant to protect against bone crushing hits, but also be mobile and flexible. In the forearm and bicep areas, high density foams wrapped around molded plastic inserts provide you the protection you need. The comfortable 3 piece elbow design allows these segmented pieces to move naturally with your arm without sacrificing protection.
The Franchise elbow pads offer a three piece design. This design offers improved mobility when extending your arm because it allows the pad to stay along the arm more instead of pushing the elbow out of the pocket as the arm is extended.
Warrior has used their Silver Shield liner that keeps the arm dry and odor away. The Franchise also features the Sling Wrap™ strapping system that offers a snug fit without pinching your arm when moving. The Sling Wrap™ straps are made from a neoprene like material that clings to the skin when moist to offer an improved fit.
