Under Armour Padded Compression Sleeve for athletes, Black, Size Adult Small — HEX padding and HeatGear moisture-wicking

Under Armour Padded Compression Sleeve delivers lightweight HEX padding and HeatGear compression to protect and stabilize the arm while keeping you cool and mobile.

Engineered for athletes who need coverage without bulk, this single-sleeve design blends targeted impact absorption with compressive support and moisture-wicking performance. The sleeve pairs Under Armour's HEX-style pad layout with HeatGear knit to provide a close fit that maintains range of motion for football, basketball, lacrosse and field sports. Constructed from durable fabrics and modern polymer foam, it’s made to move, vent, and perform across long practices and competitive games.

How does the sleeve manage impact without restricting movement?

The sleeve uses segmented HEX-pattern foam pads that disperse contact forces while the knit body provides even compression. This combination cushions the arm where collisions or ground contact are most likely yet contours to natural joint movement so mobility isn’t sacrificed.

• Ergonomic pad placement at elbow, forearm and outer arm for targeted coverage
• Flexible HEX-style foam sections that bend with the arm
• Form-fitting HeatGear fabric maintains a close, low-profile fit

Will the sleeve stay comfortable during long practices and sweaty games?

Yes — the HeatGear knit is lightweight and designed to move sweat away from skin so the sleeve stays drier and less sticky. Breathable pad construction and quick-dry fibers reduce heat build-up even when you’re active for extended periods.

• Moisture transport system wicks sweat and accelerates drying
• Ventilated HEX pad geometry promotes airflow
• Stretch fabric keeps compression consistent without pinching

What materials and construction make this a durable performance piece?

The sleeve blends a high-performance polyester knit with polyethylene foam pads for a balance of resilience and cushioning. Under Armour’s textile engineering focuses on longevity: the knit resists wear while the polymer foam sustains protective properties through repeated use.

• 82% engineered polyester and 18% performance fibers for the sleeve body
• Polyethylene foam pads built in a HEX pattern for repeated-impact durability
• Reinforced seams and finishes that preserve shape and fit over time

How do I choose the right size and who typically uses this sleeve?

Available in youth and adult sizes, select a fit that delivers snug compression without cutting off circulation. Players who want low-profile padding and support — from high-school football and lacrosse to club basketball and multi-sport training — use this sleeve to add coverage while keeping full movement.

• Size up for looser fit or if near upper limit of a range
• Designed for athletes who need lightweight impact coverage and support
• Works as single-arm protection or paired with other game-day gear

Who is this for: Athletes seeking a low-profile, padded arm sleeve that combines impact cushioning with HeatGear compression and moisture control. Ideal for contact and high-intensity sports where mobility, breathability, and durable protection are priorities — available in youth and adult sizes for team players and weekend competitors alike.
