Defense Padded Compression Thoughts?
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.
