Best Paintball Elbow Pads in 2022

Bunker Kings V2 Royal Guard Elbow Pads - Black Review:


superior quality, cozy, and stylish. Over the years, I've owned a variety of elbow pads, and this one is tied for first place with the HK hardline pads. I must clarify what is "wrong" with the BK royal guard pads because they are two completely different designs.Hk pads are intended to be directional, smooth, and firm. This makes them perfect for players who slide and dive while not wearing a jersey since they offer traction similar to that of an ice skate. When you dive, they smoothly move you along.I had to learn the hard way that the BK pads are basically the reverse. Although the pads are made entirely of an interlacing web of silicone strips, they offer significantly greater flexibility and softer padding. When you try to slide these strips, they cling to whatever surface they are placed on. Because they prevent the jersey from riding up your arm, especially when diving, they are excellent for wearing underneath a jersey without hand grips. These pads stopped me 2 feet into the slide as I attempted to dive into Snake without a jersey on, which killed my momentum.There you have it, then. These pads are for you if you frequently wear a jersey. If not, I would search elsewhere.



FreeFlex Elbow Pads/Arm Pad Review:


Due to my size (5'5" and 220 lbs), I purchased the XL size. When trying them on, the upper arm halfway between the elbow and the shoulder is quite tight and painful, despite being a great fit elsewhere. It may get more comfortable over time as it stretches a little, but aside than that, it seems like it would provide adequate protection when sliding or landing on your arms.



Exalt Paintball T3 Elbow Pads - Black/Grey Review:


To be quite honest, I did a lot of research on paintball elbow pads before making this purchase, and I'm very pleased with it. The following factors convinced me to choose these over the Dye's: Price, the length of the sleeve portion (I wear T-shirts while I play), and the absence of padding in the hand loop, which allowed me to wear my favorite gloves, all seemed to indicate that there would be a problem with dyes, and from what I've heard, most people cut that off. Although having worn these, I don't think the wrist strap was necessary, I do wish these had one like the colors. "Black/Grey" was a beautiful color; it wasn't as brilliant as I had anticipated. I'm a regular build, 5'9" and 180 pounds, and the Medium/Large fit me well—it wasn't too tight or loose. Highly recommended, Exalt items are typically top-notch.



HK Army Crash Knee Pads Review:


Sadly, the stitching could be stronger. I can hear the stitching ripping every time I put these on. I haven't washed them because I wear them underneath my pants, so they stay clean, and I don't think washing will make them last very long.



HK Army Crash Arm Pads (020101) Review:


They are excellent cushions and are quite cozy. The cushioning is fairly strong on its own.Only two issues prevented me from giving it five stars: 1. The elastic Velcro band is too lengthy and does not hold the pads in place.2. the sewing. The sewing might use some work. Unintentionally grabbing the HK tag, I gently tugged on it until the seams came apart.



Planet Eclipse Overload HD Core Elbow Pads Review:


In conclusion, if you are an adult who wears a size 12 shoe or larger, you should forgo the glove thumb hole so that these can rest properly on your elbows for maximum flexibility and protection. I was initially really disappointed that I had to use these in a method that wasn't really intended for them. However, as I put them on and put on my velcro shooting gloves, I understood that it wasn't at all a problem. With my gloves on, the elbow pads won't slide down, giving me maximum protection and flexibility. Lose 1 star in the hopes that the thumbhole will be eliminated and replaced with a thin velcro or pullstrap to improve the design. Alternately, combine the two.PROS: -Very highly padded; I've already taken a few dives on these; my arms are doing fantastic, and the pads barely even scratched.-like the HD camo appearance -surprisingly breathable, leaving no strange traces or rashes on skin after useCONS - The integrated thumbgrip is not usable if you have broad forearms (this is a con IMO cause they were designed to have a thumbhole so you get a bit of extra cloth handing around your wrist)



Dye Paintball Performance Elbow Pad Review:


I gave this product five stars because of its incredible quality!WARNING!!I measured roughly an XL when it came to size; I say roughly since my sizes were actually just beneath the XL but higher than large. I ordered an XL and it is very tight once it passes my elbow and a challenge to get there. When it stops, I still feel that the padding needs to travel down since it is preventing my wrist from having full range of motion. PLEASE ORDER A SIZE BIGGER THAN YOU MEASURE. An XXL would have fit me better, but I'm sure that with time it will wear down enough to slide on. Just bear that in mind; besides that, these pads are FANTASTIC!



HK Army HSTL Line Elbow Pads Black Review:


They've probably been outside seven times so far. play for three to four hours every time. They are holding up well when worn both alone and beneath a jersey. The padding is fantastic for sliding or simply playing in the woods and running into objects. You can easily throw them in the washer. They are quite accommodating of size, however if you have big biceps, get the large.
