Sizing Chart
| CCM ELBOW PAD SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure the circumference of your forearm at the widest point using a soft measuring tape, string or shoelace. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. 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. |
