Features

• High-Impact Protection: Equipped with contoured, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) black hard caps designed to provide wrap-around protection and skid resistance.
• Rugged Construction: The outer shell is made of heavy-duty 1000 Denier Nylon with a 1 oz. polyurethane coating for water resistance and long-term durability.
• Comfort & Perspiration Control: The interior features high-density foam padding (approximately 1/2" to 2 lbs density) paired with a laminated brushed tricot lining that wicks away moisture.
• Non-Slip Retention: Uses dual-fastening systems:
• Bottom Strap: Durable webbing that can be cinched tight.
• Top Strap: Elastic material to allow for joint flexibility and a greater range of motion.
  Neoprene Flaps: The back features soft neoprene flaps with heavy-duty hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures to prevent the straps from cutting into the arm and to ensure the pads don't slip.
• Specific Sizing: Unlike the universal "One Size Fits All" of modern sets, these are tailored in Small, Medium, and Large to ensure a precise, ergonomic fit.
• Tactical Low-Visibility: All hardware, including grommets, is typically non-reflective to maintain light discipline in the field.
