These pads are comfortable and light. I think these would be best suited for defensemen or an attacker, if you don't see hard contact. The pads are definitely smaller than what you typically see for lacrosse players. Since defensemen don't take nearly as many whacks on the arms, I feel it's best for them. Overall, these are decent pads and recommended for players not in need of maximum arm protection.

I got this product and other gear to use while I learn how you ride a hover board that was given to me as a present. Sure enough I fell off the thing and landed on my elbow. The big nubs helped cushion my arm and elbow. My only complaint about this product is the price, it does seem a little high to me.

I was in between sizes, so I got my normal size (L) and it's way too tight. Giving it 4 stars for that, and for the fact that while it does offer protection, I wouldn't want to play full contact lacrosse with these. Not enough protection for that. That said, they are lightweight, offer fairly good protection, and will suit my personal non-lacrosse needs once I exchange them for a larger size. They do offer a lot more protection than many elbow sleeves that limit padding to just a small area around the elbow point. The other reason for 4 stars is because I think the price is rather high for the amount of protection. I'm considering $80 vs. $20 for regular padded elbow sleeves. I don't think these are 4x better.

So check the size chart, consider going one size up, and don't expect enough protection to go into battle with these.

These are pretty light weight and comfortable for the most part. The sizing is pretty accurate, they are easy to put one, I so wish they offered just a tad more protection. I do wish the material was a little thicker too since I am not to sure on its durability.

As a lacrosse coach, I recognize that there are a lot of different styles of elbow pads. The general size and shape of these pads seem ok. However, I'm not confident that the pad is dense enough to withstand a hard slash in a game. Most quality pads include some harder shell function to deflect these blows, but that's not the case here. If you're a player who wants a full soft shell, this might be an acceptable option.
