6500 Hex

I purchased the McDavid 6500 HexPad Shooter Arm Sleeve several weeks ago and I have used it tons of time since then, I used to play football when I was younger, and now I kind of just play for fun with friends. A while back, I injured my elbow (my throwing arm) and it made it really difficult to throw more than a few throws without blowing my elbow out, so, I decided to give this a try. As soon as I got it, it fit perfectly right out of the box, I put it on and could feel some relief almost immediately. The first day I used it for football, I went from only being able to throw for a few minutes to being able to throw for an hour straight. Since then, my elbow has been improving significantly, and I only wear it when I play! Which tells me that not only does it help protect my elbow during play, it actually helps promote healing of my elbow while I am playing. It also stretches great, I have been working upper-body three times a week and have seen a noticeable difference in the size of my arm all around (originally, I was on the smaller end of a large) and it stretches to my arm's form perfectly. Not only does this offer excellent protection (the pad itself) and support, it also is very comfortable and is very reliable. If you are looking to improve your game, or protect your elbow, this is definitely the sleeve for you. Five stars. Will buy McDavid products again.

I suffer from major elbow pain; a function of spending half my life on an airplane. The seats are cramped and the arm-rests have no padding. As a result, I've developed chronic pain when pressure is applied to my elbows. I purchased these in an attempt to minimize that pain. These elbow pads work perfectly. Not only does the unique honey-comb padding completely eliminate pain, even applying full pressure on my elbows, but the material is luxurious and looks to wear nicely. I don't envision the padding will degrade any time soon. It seems that the padding is built to compress and expand quickly and repetitiously. I had a moment of buyers remorse wondering if I should have simply bought the pads (from this manufacturer) instead of the entire sleeve. I have finally concluded that I prefer the sleeve. While it is clearly more "visible" than a pad, and a bit on the warm side, there are two major benefits to the sleeve. 1. There's not nearly as much slippage or need for adjustment. These sleeves stay put. 2. Because I use them exclusively while flying, I don't have some strangers arm rubbing all over mine for a 6 hour flight. I'm very happy with this purchase. I would highly recommend it to anyone with elbow pain.

Delivered quick and it should help reduce my elbow area skin divots. Why did you pick this product vs others?: looked like a good product for a beginner Value for money: seems ok I’ll know better once I start hitting a bag with it Functionality: looks and feels like it will do it’s job Durability: we’ll see.. seems sturdy enough snug

This item's fit probably varies from user to user, but I have an issue with it being a bit too tight at the bicep and too loose at the wrist. It is good at the elbow, which is why I purchased it, so still a positive buy and I would recommend it over sleeves without padding. I wear this sleeve for basketball and on my racket hand during racquetball. It really absorbs impacts into the walls well. Probably the best bang for your buck, especially if you are using it to play multiple sports as I do.

The sleeve works well for me as it keeps my elbow warm while I work. The padding protects my elbow from the annoying little bangs that come when I work. Fit is snug but not tight.

Excellent elbow protection for my Golfers Elbow injury. I can even lift weights, and the pain is controlled. The best elbow brace I have used.

Fits perfectly on a 113 pound wrestler.

To small. Returned bad quality.

This is the best product of this type that I found. It offers great elbow protection. I'm using it for an old elbow injury where any slightest impact is very painful, and it works very well. It's relatively comfortable to wear. I have very sensitive skin and always feel a little uncomfortable for about 5 minutes after putting it on, but then I completely forget about it and can leave it on for the whole day. The seam at the front of the arm leaves a little mark on the skin, but it disappears almost immediately after taking it off. I like the fact that this item is machine-washable and tumble dryer-friendly. It is also the least bulky item I could find. Could it be better? Perhaps (seam-free would be nice), but there isn't anything better currently on the market.

Excellent what I was after to protect my elbow for football.

Ho acquistato la protezione per braccio McDavid HexPad 6500 Power Shooter per l'allenamento di basket e ne sono rimasto davvero soddisfatto. Il sistema HexPad offre un’ottima protezione per gomiti e avambracci, senza limitare i movimenti. È estremamente confortevole da indossare, grazie al tessuto traspirante che mantiene la pelle asciutta anche durante le sessioni più intense. La compressione è giusta, fornisce supporto muscolare senza risultare troppo stretta. Inoltre, il design è elegante e discreto. Ideale per chi cerca un prodotto di qualità per proteggersi dagli urti senza sacrificare la libertà di movimento. Consigliato per atleti di ogni livello!

Ich habe mir diesen Ellbogenschutz gekauft, nachdem ich beim Handball ein paar Mal auf meinen rechten Ellbogen gefallen bin und mir dadurch öfter Hämatome im ellbogen zugezogen habe. Nachdem ein anderer Ellbogenschoner zu eng saß, habe ich mir diese Unterarmstuple besorgt, die durch den leichteren Stoff lockerer sitzt, aber dennoch nicht verrutscht. Nachdem ich den Schoner jetzt einige Wochen im Gebrauch habe, bin ich sehr zufrieden damit. Er sitzt gut, ohne einzuschneiden oder die Bewegungsfreiheit einzuschränken, die Polster schützen den Ellbogen ganz gut und insgesamt fühle ich mich im Handball damit sicherer. Zur langfristigen Haltbarkeit kann ich nichts sagen, aber mit einem anderen Artikel von McDavid (Hose mit Polster) bin ich nun schon mehrere Jahre zufrieden. Von der Verarbeitung her wirkt die Unterarmstulpe gut.

Size runs a bit large so order one size smaller for a tighter fit. Good quality product over provides great protection.
