Men’s lacrosse arm protection should fit securely without slipping, allowing for full range of motion while staying in place during play.

Lacrosse arm protection comes in three main styles, each offering different levels of coverage and mobility:

• Arm Pads – Provide moderate protection, covering the elbow and part of the upper and lower arm. Ideal for midfielders who need a balance of flexibility and protection.
• Arm Guards – Offer extended coverage, protecting more of the upper and lower arm along with the elbow. Best for attackmen who face frequent checks.
• Elbow Pads – The smallest and lightest option, covering just the elbow. Great for defensemen who prioritize mobility and minimal padding.
