OK, Ive been laxin for 8 years. I'm an attack man. i have the maverik empires right now. they are horrible. i hate them. how good are these? do they live up to the hype?
I'm about 5'4" 110 and these are the most dope flexible arm guards ever no joke had game today and wore someone elses arm pads my arm was restricted SO MUCH but the assaults r great they don't slip off and stay super flexible get these mofos
Should i get, cell 2's, k18's, or these. I play mid, i want good protection but good flexibility. and i also want something that can breathe. i had the brine shakedowns but after 7 indoor games, the bottom strap on my left arm guard ripped. My birthday is coming up soon. Help me out!!
I have had these pads for a while and LOVE them. They run a little bit small, but only very little. I am 5'10 and 143 pounds and I wear the mediums. Great flexibility, comfort, and looks great. If you want better protection though get the K18s. These have good protection but not as good as the K18s. They should be a little bit cheaper in my opinion but they are still good for the price. Great pads for attackmen and middies (I play both).
Should I get these for middie? I have k18 2 arm pads right now but these look very nice. I like smaller pads so i was considering these in arm pads of the warrior nation 11 arm pads. Anyone have some advice?
I just got these, I was in between the Maverick Rome and these, I also have the K18s and these fit awesome. There is not as much protection as the K18s but these Assaults are form fitting and more comfortable. They have similar technology which holds them in place even during a game when you sweat. I am 5'7 and 110lbs I got these in a Med and they fit snug but are the lightest and most comfortable AG I have worn and tested.
so i bought these in an XL thinking that since im big theyd be the right fit. Im 6'2 and 170 lbs. the XL kept slipping in the middle of games and i looked quite tacky pulling them up. these barely fit a 230lbs defensman on our team. a Large will be great for anyone up to 190 lbs, unless you are a huge boybuilder and have ginormous arms. overall for the padding protection, these are like no other. the only place they hurt when hit is where they dont protect. if you hit anywhere on them they wont hurt. ive had a d-pole snap when hitting these with them on. overall great arm. guard, but only get it if you play attack. if you play mid or def, get the arm pad.
I'm 5'11, 180 lb. and i just got these in a L. They fit incredible. I got them in navy and the color is very good. They are very lightweight and incredibly comfortable. You don't know comfort until you try these. They hold in place on your arms very well. They will most likely come down to where your glove ends, slightly above it, if the dont, they don't fit correct. the protection is good, i play attack and i really dont care about protection but these do provide good protection. I know they are pretty pricey but they are worth it.
Ik some may not agree but i don't see why these are so great. I tried them on and yeah they're light and they have good flexibility, but theyre protection is not up to par. they'd be good for middies but if your an attackman who dodges you'd get a few bruises
the best arm guards on the market, i used to have shakedowns and there no comparison. without a doubt the greatest AG ever made, it feels like there's nothing on
I played with this other guy in my men's league he had these asked if I could check them out. By far the lightest elbows I've ever held, the fit is great not alot of sliding down you're arm, and the protection is an A without a doubt. Just wonder how the AP's are compared to these AG's alot cheaper but look like they cover less of you're arm. Go with the AG's for Attack and the AP's if you're a Middie.
i tried my friends on at practice one day and im getting some for my birthday soon, i fell inlove with them good protection, really flexible. for sizing im 5'7 125 lbs good sized arms and the large fits great! even if they are a little big the sleeve mesh really grips your skin and stops it from sliding around.
hey im about 5'5 and 110 pounds. im small for my age, but im going to be a junior next year and i play attack. should i get mediums or larges? or should i go with k18s?
These are great man. I felt that the arm guards were more flexible than the pads, but it's up to you. I'm 5'8 and 125 lbs. and I got the larges, because the guards and pads both run small. I would get these for either a middie or attackman. They're totally worth it.
These. They provide you with more protection than the arm guards but these are so light and provide such good ventilation that it feels like nothing is even on your arm. Padding isn't as good as other pads but these give you the most protection you can get for how light they are.
between these, the arm pads, K18 II ap, and the maverick maybach mid ap, which is better for an mostly offensive midi.
i like the Assault ap's but they seem to spaced out.
Definitely get the XL. I'm about the same size as you and went to try on the larges and they fit but they are tight and I feel I could wear them but they would either stretch out or be really tight and suffocate your arm.
What is the sizing for the XL? I am 16 6'0" and 190 Pounds. What size should I get?
My local lax store doesn't carry these so I can't go and try them on.
I play high school attack. I'm not a fast guy so I use my body a lot would you recommend the STX Assault Arm guards, STX K18 2, the Brine Thriller, or STX Cells. Also would you recommend a arm pad.
trust me i have the k18 2 and have worn these....these arent as nice...the only better thing is that they have new no slip stuff but the k18 2 no slip works just fine....these are also pretty heavy and bug my arm
I can't tell you the empires will last forever because I don't know yet, but I have had them and played in them for a little while and I really like them. They're worth the price they are so far. I don't know about these assaults though. I guess it comes down to how much you're willing to spend
if your going to buy assaults you might as well by the AG... they have alot more protection than the AP and just as much flexibility and comfort... the arm pads are honestly way too small for attack and still not enough for middie... get these. only problem is the velcro is annoying cuz the upper strap is the soft part and is smaller so the sticky part of the velcro will stick to your jersey sometimes but it doesnt unstrap the straps.
These are actually some of the best arm pads ive ever tried on...no joke. They fit really well, they actually dont slide down at all, and they have good protection. Well worth the money.
these pads are awesome. I am 5'8'' 190, extremely thick,and it is nearly impossible for me to find a pair of arm pads that fit. I usually play middy and had used the Brine LoPro D's for 2 years now. Recently switched to attack and have been getting wailed on my arms with the lopro d's. I was looking for a pad that FIT and didn't pinch/bunch up. I was used to pretty much wearing nothing, and didnt want to start wearing pads that made me look like a turtle. I was thinking of going with AP's, but after trying the AP assaults and the AG assualts, it was a no brainer. The Assualt AG's seriously felt like i was wearing nothing, and offer awesome protection. I actually felt like the AP's were bulkier. And the XL is a great size for bigger guys, MUCH better fit than any other brands L.
Def worth the money.
Why would you say that? These are the best AG's in the game because they are PROTECTIVE and flexble. Why would they make a $100 AG that is not protective?
so i got warrior tanks but they suck dont buy them they r to big and they started to break by themselves i like the k18 ap which is smaller version of k18 r they going to make smaller version of this thanks
bro i have the k18's which are possibly the best arm protection in the history of lacrosse, but ive tried on the assault and they are more flexible and are more comfortable and protective. Wait for these man, even if they are super expensive
Can someone say anything about the sizing on this AG?
Since there's only M, L, XL.
Does that mean XL is like a normal large or did they put a larger size in compared with all the previous AGs?
Thanks
These run a little bigger than the APs. I'm about 185 and wear the L's in these but think the L APs are on the snug side (wear the XL APs). These AGs will run similar in size to the Cell and K18s
I tried on North Carolina colored ones at a local store and they are flat out amazing. They are pretty much the comfort and weight of the cells with g22 padding.
