The CCM RBZ Shoulder Pads are the premier model in the RBZ lineup. CCM's Crazy Light U Foam is utilized in the shoulder caps and liner to greatly reduce the weight of the pad and resist any water absorption. High density foams line the sternum, clavicle, spine and bicep guard for professional level protection.
The CCM RBZ's are built for the quick, agile player who changes directions quickly and needs a greater range of motion. One of the big things that they changed going into this line was lowering the clavicle and sternum guard so that the pad won't ride up on your neck while you're playing, which was a big complaint with last years U+ Crazy Light. The upgraded 3-piece design is outfitted with reinforced high density foams, so you're getting that professional protection and mobility. The liner showcases the Crazy Light U Foam to decrease the overall weight of the pad as well as resist any water uptake to keep your shoulder pads dry.

Previous Feedback
Comments: LOVE the CCM RBZ shoulder pads; a perfect blend of comfort, protection and weight. They are very lightweight, yet maintain a great coverage area. The strapping system is very good and there are little to no plastic inserts involved. The best way to describe them is the fact that you don't notice you are wearing them while playing, unless they protect you from injury!
