The Warrior Alpha Pro Elbow Pad is built with top-end protection for the player who relies on maximum coverage but doesn't want to sacrifice comfort or mobility. Warrior used their elite Impax Foam, a compression-molded EVA foam that is lightweight but offers excellent protection against slashes or blocked shots on the forearm.
Dual-density foam along with a large PE insert provides great coverage to the bicep to keep players protected against high slashes as they drive their way through the defenders. The elbow sits comfortably in the donut and is well protected against falls and impacts along the boards with the anatomically shaped molded plastic.
The forearm and bicep move independently through the three-piece construction, ensuring players have a full range of motion for their stick handles, shots and passes. Locking the elbow in and preventing any twisting is Warrior's Sling Wrap, which also feels incredibly comfortable against the body. Each strap also has a low profile to prevent any snagging with your hockey jersey.
