Sizing Information
This armor now comes in two sizes, one for those wearing a jacket size XS through Large (labeled S/M) and the other for those who wear an XL up through a 4XL (labeled L/XL).
Unfortunately it seems like Icon needs to come out with another size right in the middle. We found the smaller size to be quite tight on our “average” guys – the straps pinch where the arm bends. The larger size is so big the straps are too long to secure properly. So if you have “average” arms, these might not work for you. If you are either thinner than most or more bulky/muscular, one of these sizes will work.
Our Two Cents
This elbow armor feels very secure on the arm. There is a built in stretchy “sock” all the way around your arm and then three Velcro straps on top of all that. The combination of the sock and the straps hold the armor in position really well. The upper end of the armor comes about a third the way up the bicep and on the bottom end, nearly all the way to the wrist. Comfortable? No, not really. Personally, I wouldn’t wear this armor unless I was doing something that carried a high probability of crashing. But if you did crash, this armor would certainly be of benefit to one’s elbows! The “sock” I mentioned is not all that big in the smaller size, so I’d recommend it only for people who have average to skinny arms. My biceps are 12 1/2” (relaxed) and if they were any bigger, I think these guards would cause circulation problems. The larger size is big enough for people with quite large arms, but that means people with average arms won’t be able to tighten them down properly.
From the Icon Site: The Field Armor Elbow is Icon’s latest foray into the protective equipment arena. We’ve already got you covered with the vest, short, and leg guards. But your poor, exposed forearms and elbows were treated as the red-headed stepchild. Hence our development of the Field Armor Elbow. Form-fitting construction with a chassis of impact absorbing foam and molded plastic. Chassis design specifically prevents it from slipping down your arms. So be nice to your arms, they need love too.
