The new Bauer Vapor 3X Pro collection is set to be an ideal option for the competitive, agile player on the ice. The 3X Pro elbow pads use various technologies to prioritize light weight and mobility, including Hyperlite HD foam, a 360 design on the forearm, and a Thermomax+ liner.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
The Vapor 3X pro elbow pads use a three-piece design that allows for great mobility while playing. Each piece is light and able to move independently based on your movements, and the strapping and 360 forearm help keep everything in place.
The forearm uses Hyperlite HD foam and a 360 design, offering total protection and a very light weight. Hyperlite HD foam was specially made for the Vapor and Hyperlite lines, and it is also available in the 3X Pro series. The biceps’ independent design allows it to move with you while you play.
Elbow Cap
The three-piece cap allows for total movement in the arms. As the cap cover is molded for a deeper fit, it can lock your elbow comfortably in place, keeping you both agile and protected.
Strapping System
The Vapor 3X Pro elbow pads use comfort anchor straps to fasten everything in place. Anchor straps are tougher than standard straps but won’t hinder movement. This strapping system can be found across the 3X Pro series.
Liner
Bauer implemented their Thermomax+ liner in the 3X Pro protective series. Thermomax+ is one of the most reliable liner treatments when it comes to wicking away moisture and repelling odour. In addition, this liner has cooling properties, so you can stay nice and refreshed while you play.
Sizes
The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro Senior Hockey Elbow Pads come in Medium and Large sizes. If you are looking for a smaller size, the 3X Pro collection is also available in Intermediate and Junior sizes.

Hockey Elbow Pads Sizing Information
When fitting or trying on elbow pads, there are a few things to look at to make sure you have a proper fit. To start, make sure your elbow is placed in the center of cup or designated area and fasten the elbow pad using the straps. You will want to make sure that elbow pad is snug and secure and will not slip off the elbow joint. As well, move your arms around with each pad on, range of motion is key, and you will feel mobility differences in each product. If the elbow pad is too big it will shift and slide around on your arm. If it is too small your elbow will feel like it is sitting above the pad.
Elbow pad strapping is semi-adjustable, so if you find a pad that you like the feel of on your arm, adjust the straps until it fits securely. If the strapping feels too tight against your arm and you are unable to loosen it further, this is a good sign that you may need a bigger size. As well if you have fully tightened the strapping and the elbow pad is still loose or shifting on your arm, a size down will probably work better.
When looking at different elbow pads, there are a variety of different features to choose from. Some models will be offered in a soft elbow cap (although this is becoming more uncommon) and other will come with a hard plastic shell. As well, strapping systems can change and straps such as anchor straps or lock strap with provide a better lock to the pad than a regular elastic strap. These features are personal preference and usually are dictated by price range as well as brand. Once you have a feel for what you like or dislike you can narrow your choices.
When viewing sizing online, most elbow pads will be offered in Small, Medium and Large. Sizing charts are provided below and on each product to double check where you line up and as well list all the sizes available. These charts are for reference only and personal preference is a factor as well when looking for the best fit.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, put on your shoulder pad and gloves and have someone measure the space/gap in between (in inches) to determine the proper sizing.
