The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite Elbow Pad is now even lighter than ever while still offering elite-level impact protection for the highly competitive player.
All new EXO-Lite Skin, an incredibly lightweight yet highly protective foam wraps the forearm for elite-level impact absorption against slashes, blocked shots, and battles on the rink. It works hand in hand with Hyperlite HD foam throughout the rest of the elbow pad for featherlight protection.
Its 3-piece design is perfect for quick and agile players, giving them a maximum range of motion during stick handling, passing and shooting. The Dynaflex bicep strap and comfort anchor strap keep protection locked on the body during movements and contact.
Introducing Bauer's new Thermo Core Zero liner, the Hyperlite Elbow Pad draws and expels sweat and moisture away from the body while simultaneously giving players a cooling effect. Odor is no match for it either since it prevents odor-causing bacteria from forming too.

Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| EXO-Lite Skin This compressed foam helps to reduce weight but is engineered to absorb impact energy for elite-level protection. Water and sweat won't absorb into the material either, ensuring the foam stays featherlight. | |
| HyperLite Foam Unique to the Vapor Family, HyperLite is an extremely lightweight and protective foam that also maintains player mobility. It is also a closed-cell foam which means it won't absorb sweat and moisture, keeping you light and agile all-game long! | |
| 3-Piece Construction With a standard hinge at the bicep, an added break below the elbow cap allows the arm to fully extend! This allows players to have an even better range of motion for stickhandling, poke checking, and shooting! | |
| Thermo Core Zero Odor and sweat are no match for this premium liner that also gives players a cooling effect for a comfortable gameplay experience. |

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. | |
