That looks like a compression top such as Skins etc produce.

Either a compression shirt with the ends cut off, or an elasticated bandage.

Would reccomend Skins - expensive but good quality.

Is it not just tubi-grip? Well the one with Pollard looks like it anyway. If you are buying it for the purpose of covering your elbow, you'd save yourself about £40 buying tubigrips!

Just use tubigrips usually, or a long sleeved shirt.
