The 2024 Bauer X Elbow Pads were designed for recreational or new-to-hockey players who don’t need top technology features, but still want protection and comfort while learning the game, playing occasionally or out on the pond.
Fit: Anatomical
Protection: Molded PE, MD Foam
Strapping System: 3 Strap System
Construction: 2-Piece Split Cap
Liner: Hydrophobic Sublimated Mesh
For this model, Bauer focused on instant fit, comfort, and a sleek design. They combined a very detailed molded component for technical feel with sublimated graphics that no one in the industry is using at this price point.
The split cap construction and anatomically molded forearm on the elbow pad allows for better mobility and off the shelf comfort. For protection, Bauer uses injection molding and molded inserts to guard against common hockey occurrences like slashes and blocked shots.
Inside the elbow pad is a hydrophobic sublimated mesh liner to help wick away moisture, keeping you light and allowing the elbow pads to dry quicker.
The Bauer X elbow pads are a great option for beginner players or someone looking for something simple, at a lower price point.
