Im really sorry if this has already been posted but i searched and couldn't find what i wanted. For christmas i'm getting some new arm pads. I'm a middie and i want ones that are pretty flexible and don't feel like theres anything there. There is no lacrosse store around my area so I can't try them on.
I've been reading some reviews of arm pads and have heard good things about gladiators and exos. Which arm pad would you recommend?If you have another recomendation i'd be glad to here it as well, but I would like to keep the price under or around $50. Thanks.

i have the Exo Barrel AGs. there really protective. and have that rubbery stuff inside they dont slip at all. and there huge, as in they protect a lot. overlap with my SPs, and go all the way to my gloves. im a attack/middie. The Gait flare AG is a really good pad, so are the Brine Elements. all 3 of these choices are under 50 including shipping.

Thanks for all the help.
So it seems like most are saying exo, but there are like exo arm guards and arm pads. Which one would you recommend if i want maneuverability but still good protection. Also a2lacrosse said exo barrel arm guards, what's the difference between these and regular exo arm guards?

I've been checking out some sites. I found exo barrel AG's for 30 at some site. Would you reccomend the exo barrels over regular exo AG's or do you like regular exo AG's better?
