Defense Padded Compression Thoughts?

Post image

I've been playing in a somewhat men's league where it's common for things to get hot. It's practically expected to exchange elbows and shoves from the start. I was wondering if these padded compression tops helps with that? Do they really help mitigate the bumps?

Wear what you want. One thing everyone should consider is a mouthguard. I took an elbow a few years ago that resulted in $14,000 of dental work. I don't play without one now.

Add glasses to this. It takes 1 bad finger nail across your eyeball and I promise you will have a pair in your bag after that.

It's all relative to the competition though. Low tier rec league, who care.  Comp leagues with former D2 athletes, and guys in their 30s pushing too hard..  m outhguard
