What the AI looks for in Lacrosse Elbow Pads
- Position fit
- Elbow pads suit midfielders and defensemen; attack usually needs full arm guards Middies trade coverage for mobility over a long running shift.
- Elbow cap retention
- The hard cap must stay centered at full bend and full extension Pads that slide expose the point of the elbow on falls and checks.
- Forearm overlap
- The pad should reach the glove cuff or leave only a minimal gap The lower forearm is a common slash target.
- Breathability
- Prefer ventilated sleeves and a low-profile build Middies sweat heavily, and bulky pads get pulled off mid-season.
Brands that matter
- Warrior: Evo and Burn lines cover elbow pads.
- STX: Wide elbow and arm pad range.
- Maverik: Major lacrosse protection maker.
What to avoid
- Elbow pads so short they leave the lower forearm bare against the glove
- Sizing up for growth so far that the cap slides
