USGI Advanced Elbow Pads (AKEPS, KEPS)

US Genuine Issue Advanced Combat Elbow Pad (ACEP) is the modern standard for upper-body joint protection, optimized for high-impact tactical environments. Transitioning from legacy multi-sized systems, this current generation utilizes a one-size-fits-all model to streamline logistics while maintaining a precise, secure fit for all users.

Like its knee pad counterpart, the ACEP features a rugged, rubberized "tortoise shell" cap designed for maximum shock absorption and impact resistance. These pads are engineered to protect against abrasions and injuries during MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) and other high-intensity field maneuvers without compromising the wearer's range of motion.

Features

• Weight: Approximately 0.25 lbs (4 oz) per pad—significantly lighter than the knee pads to maintain arm mobility.
• Design: Features the same "tortoise shell" high-impact cap, but scaled down and contoured specifically for the elbow joint.
• Construction: 1000 Denier Cordura nylon fabric for extreme abrasion resistance.
• Fit: Dual adjustable elastic straps with hook-and-loop closures. The interior features a non-slip surface to prevent the pad from sliding down the arm during movement.
• Protection: High-density EVA foam for shock absorption with a moisture-wicking internal lining.
