The Easton Stealth S19 hockey shoulder pads are the premier shoulder pads from Easton. The S19 is designed for elite players looking for focused protection and maximum freedom of movement.
Easton has used a 3-piece panel design on the chest and back for increased range of motion without sacrificing protection. The panels are attached by elastic that further increase mobility. The outer panels on the chest and back feature perforated holes to help keep the pad cooler. The center panel on both sides over the sternum and spine feature great high density foams for that advanced level protection.
The S19 has a nice feel, it does not feel too bulky, yet the S19 still offers good protection. Easton has used an air mesh liner that helps keep you a little cooler during the game. This liner also has some grip printing in the shoulder area that is extended to keep the pad in place during the game.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I've been very impressed in how well these shoulder pads can protect as well as provide mobility. They offer a huge amount of protection on the back where normally shoulder pads lack in protection or companies don't feel the need to but is great to have when you rush to the boards with someone behind you and protects you from dangerous cross checks to your back. Overall I am very impressed with its mobility but one feature that I was very impressed with was how the bicep guard feels if its not there so your arms can move freely
Pros: high protection, high mobility
Con: Not many left in stock
