ProForce Forearm Guards - Black - Large

I purchased this forearm guard because I am having a chronic problem with the ulnar nerve in my left arm, and I needed to shield my lower forearm (the underside) because any pressure aggravates the problem. I didn't want a thin, non-padded compression sleeve, and this is just what I hoped it would be. The pad is somewhat rigid (it is not soft foam like a mattress topper), but it gives enough and protects well. My arm does heat up a bit, but that actually seems to soothe my nerve, so a win-win. I haven't washed it yet, and I hope it holds up. Without washing I imagine it would get pretty gamey relatively quickly (especially if you are using this for sports). I can't speak to other uses, but if you have ulnar impairment or entrapment, you might want to give it a try. I am going to add an elbow pad that fits with this but I haven't searched for the right one yet. I am not a big reviewer but I wanted to help anyone who might suffer from an ulnar nerve issue. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. I am a guitarist and it is really dispiriting becaue it affects two fingers. OK--good luck.

I highly recommend these! They were extremely comfortable and very durable. I was scared theyd be loose on my forearms cause I have pretty skinny forearms but they fit perfectly and made my forearms look bulkier!

Well designed, flexible, fits as expected.This actually may be too much padding for my intended purpose...i bought to augment my RF elbow pads for when I ride (mtn biking) tricky technical terrain with lots of rocks and drops.Then again, you can never have too much protection and these are easy on/off so I can stow if not really needed

These are great when umpiring kids Baseball games. Light weight and easy to take on and off. I wore one on my left are last night while doing a 10u game. For the price they work great.

I sleep with my head on my forearms everyday and was worried about my muscles not fully healing after torturing my forearms all day at work everyday, so I bought these to dissipate or rather not concentrate the weight of my head onto one spot on my forearm and honestly after weeks of sleeping with these on my arms as my pillow I think my forearm are really healing better and I wish someone would invent a pair of these for this particular purpose so I could have a little more comfort with my new found peace of mind, plus I don’t know if sleeping with my head on my arm could ever lead to blood clotting but I think the stress this arm armor relieves from my forearms because it’s not getting the weight of my head in one spot anymore keeps the blood circulating better, anyway like if you find this review useful

IMHO they run large. The pad goes to and covers the elbow. Maybe a size smaller would have been better since I just wanted forearm pad. Thick and soft. I have nerve damage and need a pad to fit under my long sleeve shirt. This is a little too thick for that but for it’s designed purposes I’m certain it’s great.

I needed some additional forearm padding to wear under plate bracers for sword fighting, these worked really well… easy on/off… very pleased.

Well made. Thickly padded. In sparring I block with my forearm, punches and kicks and my forearm tends to get bruised for that reason. There are two in a package. Good value for the money. RH California
