CCM U+ Fit 03 Elbow Pads Review

CCM U+ Fit 03 Elbow Pads



The CCM U+ Fit 03 Elbow Pads are the most affordable elbow pads from CCM. They consist of a 2 piece design, the upper bicep portion and the forearm and elbow portion. The elbow guard as well as the forearm is one piece of molded plastic which will let the elbow to fit nice and deep in the pad. There are thin plastic inserts in the slash guards which is segmented and wrapped with foams on both sides of the plastic insert. On the other side you have single density foam. The bicep guard has single density foam on the inside and on the back with a thin plastic insert on the inside to provide you with a little extra protection to that outside slash area. The strapping system consists of a 1" elastic strap on the upper portion and another 1" elastic strap going across the arm. There is also a piece of elastic in between the two portions of the slash guard which expands and holds your arm nicely. The liner is a brush nylon liner, a very standard and traditional liner. The fit has nothing crossing over the arm bends which is a nice feature and it's a nice lightweight design.

Bauer Vapor X:30 Shoulder Pads Review

Bauer Vapor X:30 Shoulder Pads

The Bauer Vapor X:30 Shoulder Pads have a very nice price point. Similar design to the X:20 Shoulder Pads with a couple of extra features. The front of the Bauer Vapor X:30 Shoulder Pads feature a 3 panel system with single density foams on the outer portion, some single density foams on the center panel and a plastic insert on the chest with a segment in it to give you a little extra mobility. It features a removable belly guard which you could choose keep on or remove. They have a nice size bicep guard with a plastic insert and molded over to wrap around the bicep nicely. The shoulder cap is covered which gives it a little bit of a cleaner look with a dynamic flex arch which will allow the shoulder cap to bump on over the clavicle guard instead of pushing into the neck. The back offers the 3 panel construction similar to the front panels and is connected by stitching not elastic or webbing which won't have as much mobility but offers a better fit. The spine guard has plastic inserts with a segment to allow it to stay against the back while you’re in movement a little better. At the top of the back some vent armor foam was added for some extra protection. Inside you have a little nicer liner than the X:20 with a brush nylon that goes down the center and a thermal max liner on the outer part which is a little softer material and offers those moister wicking properties. Overall fit feels like you have a little more on than the X:20 but still has a pretty lightweight feel to it. Overall with the Bauer Vapor X:30 Shoulder Pads you feel that you have a little more protection but not a bulky feel.

Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pads Review

Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pads

The Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pad is a real nice one piece design. It's a very basic elbow pad suitable for your entry level player. The Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pad has solid elbow cap protection. It is designed more for someone that doesn't need that extra bicep protection or a real thick molded insert for their forearm. It has a nice molded plastic insert for the elbow cap, same as you would see on the Reebok 5K KFS Elbow Pad. For protection the Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pad has mid density foams in the forearm and featured throughout. On the inside it has a very nice elbow cradle and it fits pretty deeply with a basic traditional nylon liner. The strapping system is a one strap design which loops around and zigzags till it attaches over your forearm. Overall the Reebok 3K KFS Elbow Pad is a great value for that entry or beginner level player.

Bauer Vapor X:20 Shoulder Pads Review



Bauer Vapor X:20 Shoulder Pads Review

The Bauer Vapor X:20 Shoulder Pad is the most affordable pad in the vapor line with a great price point. Made of a three panel design with a single density foam middle piece layered on top of an outer panel with a plastic insert and another layer of foam in the sternum for additional protection. The Bauer Vapor X:20 Shoulder Pad has a good size bicep guard which is molded so that it will wrap around the bicep nicely. It has fairly standard design on the shoulder cap which slightly wraps around the front for added protection. The back has the three layers again with a single density foam on the outer layer followed by another single density foam with a plastic insert running down the spine with another thin layer of foam on top of that. Fairly traditional brushed nylon liner is used inside. Overall the pad has a pretty nice fit and is not going to be very high profile in the shoulder area and will not be too bulky in the chest area. The Bauer Vapor X:20 Shoulder Pad will offer a great level of protection for that entry to recreational player.
