Does the job!
Sizing info: (measure around elbow)
Sm: 8-9.5"
Med: 9.5-11"
Lg: 11-12"
XL: 12-14"
10% nylon/65% polyester/25% rubber. Machine wash warm. Tumble dry low :)
It compresses enough so that my elbow feels firm while also keeping the elbow warm. I can still bend my arm past a 90 degree angle without restriction but with a firm feeling of support. Its a little bit thicker so I wouldn't run or do anything extremely intensive where you need a ton of breathability. I use it for weightlifting and a little more support when using heavier weights without too much restriction.
Heres what the box says:

-minor elbow pain

-minor instabilities
