The Easton Pro Hockey Shoulder Pads are designed to provide the highest level of protection for advanced to pro level play. Unrelated to the Stealth or Mako line, these pads are unique as seen by the large, wrapping shoulder caps.
The 3-piece front and back panels provide excellent mobility while also insuring padding and protection are always in the right place. The front sternum protection is very beefy because of the large center plastic insert that have thick layers of segmented high-density foams providing a professional level of protection. The shoulder caps have large molded plastic inserts that wrap well from front to back giving a more traditional design. The bicep guards also use a plastic insert but are molded to provide greater strength and they are adjustable to allow the bicep guard to be moved higher or lower on the arm for a custom fit. The spinal protection is beefed up as well, once again utilizing plastic inserts that run through the middle of the back reinforced with high-density foams to provide excellent protection for one of the most vital parts of the body.
The standard Easton liner has great moisture wicking properties and also includes the Griptec grip texture that rests underneath the shoulder caps to prevent slippage.
