McDavid Hex Padded Forearm Compression Sleeve for Football & Contact Sports, Moisture Wicking to Keep You Dry & Cool, Includes 2 Sleeves

[Possession Time: I have had these forearm sleeves for 67 days since June 4th, when it was delivered.][Payment: I have paid for this product fully, with no discount of any kind.]PERFORMANCE/ADVERTISED USE:+The padding is a bit thin, but absorbs shock well. While testing this product by hitting my forearm, I've noticed that there is no pain when using this guard compared to not having it.+ Protects well against little to moderate impactFIT:+They fit well due to both the spandex material and the shape of the mini-hex pads, which allows the entire sleeve to conform around any arm size and shape.-The padding itself will move when impacted or movingFEEL:+The material was comfortable and thin, not too tight if sized correctly.+/-The material was breathable and allows sweat to be aired out, but this does not hold true where the padding is. Sweat tends to accumulate where the padding is.DURABILITY:+Withstands direct impacts with little pulling-The sleeve easily catches on anything rough if rubbed at an angle due to the spandex material. Whether it be velcro or concrete, the sleeve gets caught and gets damaged as a result. Within a few months, the sleeve may be pulled to pieces.MAINTENANCE:+It was machine washable and dry-able, although I prefer to use cold water and air-dry as stretchy material seems to lose its elasticity fastest when thrown in a dryer

I bought a pair of these to give my forearms a little protection during my self defense classes. I'm a Krav Maga student and we were training weapons defenses techniques that consisted of a lot of forearm to forearm (bone on bone) impact. Use your imagination - when trained realistically and multiple times per week, that results in a bit of bruising. These sleeves helped give me just enough cushion that I could continue to train hard without holding back. I would definitely buy them again, though I would likely order a size bigger next time as the size I chose is a little tight by the elbow.

Bought for my son who plays football. The package came with two padded sleeves. One of the sleeves had multiple seams unraveling with strings longer than 12". Very disappointing.

Purchased for my 90lb / 10yr old son playing Jr.PeeWee football as suggested by one of the coaches. I think it should be standard football padding (why go without?)...I'm very happy that he won't play without them. The X-Small fit was perfect for my 5th grader and wears them under a long sleeve compression shirt (SUB DUAL Med Youth).These pads have added to his game (Nose Tackle and Center). He's hitting harder with more confidence... I'm very happy I made the purchase.The only complaint has been the tightness around the upper inside arm (tender skin area) because of the elastic band that keeps it from slipping...just a little red, nothing serious. I'll tape the area if it rashes on him, but it hasn't been an issue (yet).

I coach my son's PopWarner team, he is 8, soon to be 9 and his little brother is 6. We bought the XS and they fit both well (younger brother has a slightly thicker build than his big brother). They are really low profile, but seem to offer about as much protection as the old style white ones you aging parents will remember. Low enough to wear underneath other layers on cold days. I wish they did a sleeve with both the forearm and elbow in one, but these are great. I would recommend them as a must have for kids starting football. Helmets to the arm hurt at any age, especially for little guys without muscle to protect their bones. When kids get aggressive and start running through tackles and blocks with their shoulder, the forearm naturally will come up and contact the other player. If its padded, there is a lot less chance of it being painful and therefore a lot bigger chance that your kid will be willing to be aggressive in that way. I have recommended these to my entire team.

Just purchased these because I needed extra protection as I play a lot of different positions in football. The sleeve feels comfortable and really provides that support I needed. I bought an XL which is kind of big because it slips down after practicing for awhile but all in all I really like this sleeve!! They are also cheaper than any place I've been too.

This is the best forearm pads I have ever bought. And I've been buying forearm pads for the past 20 years. The padding is just enough to provide some protection so it's not bone to bone if you spar, or bone to target if you practice on target. It fits perfectly to your forearm, not bulky at all. Very comfortable wearing it...I forget I have them on. Highly recommended!

I didn't want to over accessorize, but I kept coming back from mountain biking with little cuts and bruises on my forearms from prickers and branches sticking out into the trail. These were reasonably priced so I gave them a try. I was worried that I wouldn't use them because they would be too hot, but the fabric is thin, and the pad isn't solid so it breathes well. They stay up on my arms I havent had to adjust them on the trail. I haven't had them for too long, but they seem reasonably durable. and, not cuts or bruises yet.
