The Reebok 12K elbow pads are an entry level item that offers good value for the protection offered. JDP elbow caps function by dispersing the force of impact away from the fragile elbow joint to assure complete protection. This elbow pad is constructed with segmented foam at the bicep, plus molded PE slash guards at the forearm for solid protection. A cross over lock strap system holds the pads securely in place during use.
