The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro Elbow Pad is designed for the quick and agile player seeking elite-level protection at a much more affordable price.
Compared to the previous Vapor 2X, the 3X Pro now features Hyperlite HD foam for an increase in impact protection to the forearm and bicep. This unique foam provides elite-level protection, is extremely lightweight, and doesn't absorb water which ensures the 3X Pro remains featherlight all game long.
The arm sits in a 3-piece construction so players can maximize their range of motion during stickhandling, shooting and passing. A 360-degree forearm guard completes coverage and eliminates gaps in protection so players can confidently battle in front of the net or weave their way through traffic.
A 3-piece strapping system prevents any twisting of the elbow pad during gameplay and features a comfort anchor strap to lock in the fit. Bauer used their Thermo Max+ liner which offers an incredibly soft feel while pulling sweat and moisture away from the skin. Not only that but it has antimicrobial properties too, keeping unwanted smells at bay!

Sizing Chart
| BAUER ELBOW PAD SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| With your arm bent at a 90° angle, measure the length from the back of the elbow to the wrist crease. Correspond your arm measurement to an elbow pad size using the table below. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose to go with the smaller size for a better range of motion and a more snug fit. Going larger will provide you with a little more coverage in protection and more volume in the fit. | |
