Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Padded Sleeve?
When playing basketball, your shooting elbow is at serious risk as you lead with it into contact when you're attacking. The padding on this McDavid Sleeve protects your elbow from collisions with other players and in case you fall and hit the hard court. Despite this protection, the McDavid Support isn't rigid and the padding contours around your elbow to retain essential flexibility and manoeuvrability.
What Sports Can I Use This Sleeve For?

Flexible Hex Padding Around Elbow
This McDavid Arm Support protects your elbow with raised 9mm padding for tough impact absorption. Despite this protection, the padding isn't restrictive and bends as your elbow joint bends to give you full range of movement.
Extended Design for Better Protection and Comfort
While the Hex padding just covers your elbow, the rest McDavid Shooter Sleeve extends from the middle of your bicep to your wrist. Not only does this keep the brace comfortably in place, eliminating the need for constant adjustments, but it also offers protection from scrapes and cuts that are common in sports.
Quick-Drying Moisture Management Technology
Playing sports can get sweaty, especially when you're wearing a sleeve. That's not an issue with the McDavid Support Sleeve because it's made using moisture management technology. This prevents sweat building up and stops your arm getting too hot or uncomfortable.
