While hockey and lacrosse arm pads both serve a protective function, they differ in design and emphasis. Hockey arm pads are typically bulkier and offer more comprehensive protection, particularly around the elbows, due to the higher impact nature of the sport. Lacrosse arm pads, on the other hand, are often more streamlined and prioritize flexibility, allowing for a wider range of motion. They focus on protecting key areas like the elbows and forearms from impact and abrasions.
Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying used arm pads, here's what to look for:
✔️ There are no rips or tears ✔️ All velcro is intact and in good condition. ✔️ All elastic is not stretched and in good condition.
