StorelliStorelli BodyShield Arm Guards | Protective Soccer Elbow Pads | Enhanced Arm Protection | Black | Large

It’s obvious this is a quality product. Fits great, holds up. I am 6’0 210lbs and the arms are a bit long. But not uncomfortable long. I don’t think I could have went smaller sized because of how the biceps fits. They are tight, but not uncomfortable. They will stay in place.

Storelli products for keepers are always top-notch and these are no different. Perfect for wearing under shirts that don't have elbow protection or with a short sleeved shirt on hot days. My keeper prefers these to wearing his long-sleeve Storelli shirt on hot days.With respect to the sizing, based on the reviews here, I sized up to a medium for my young teen keeper, even though he measured on the upper edge of the smalls. They ended up being too big, so I had to re-order a smaller size. So, if you have a preteen or younger teen and slim, I would definitely stick with the measured sizing rather than sizing up (as some recommend). If you have a bulker teen, sizing up is probably the right choice.

I do stick fighting and historical fencing as hobbies. Was looking for a soft padding option to wear under armor (or in place of for light sparring session) that provides coverage on all three bony points on elbow (inside, outside, center). Of the options I tested, this was the only one that gave all round coverage, and it absorbs shocks fairly well (tested by whacking it a few times with a Regenyei fencing saber). It does run a bit on the small size though. I am a fairly average build (5'10", 187 lbs) and it was very tight on my arm.I will report back on long term durability once I have a chance to test.

The pads look pretty good and sturdy, the stitching is on par with other Storelli products I've purchased before but I don't know how long these were stored away to make them moldy like in the pictures. I'm sure that can be remedied with a little hot water and vinegar but I think the company should ensure this doesn't make it to any more customers on this state. People can get sick by accidentally inhaling mold spores, for example :/

Product’s performance is great: It doesn’t shift at all when playing. The material is also very durable and washer-friendly. My only gripe is that the sizing advisory seems a bit off, but that might be deliberate, so as to ensure that snug fit.
