Previous Feedback
Comments: Great padded shirt for mobility, there is little padding so i would only recommend this for ball hockey or light roller hockey.
From: Chris
Comments: Nice shirt, defintely adds a nice layer of protection. It's a little on the warm side, but offers great mobility. Wouldn't really wanna use for ice hockey, but for roller it's great!
From: Chris, Bayport, NY
Comments: I didn't want to wear shoulder pads for pick up hockey so I bought this shirt. It's definitely better than nothing, but the plastic inserts are really thin, definitely not the stuff found in gloves or pants. It's probably good enough to disperse the occasional errant shot though. These actually provide pretty full coverage from shots when paired with ice pants, the belly and the spine are both fully covered, there is a big hole in the shoulder though and they'll do nothing for going hard into the boards or a shoulder-on-shoulder collision
From: Leon
Comments: I am 6'1" and 185 lbs. and the S/M is still not tight. Ordered the L and had to exchange it. Good shirt with decent padding.
From: Chris
Comments: Play in an adult league and didn't feel "comfortable" playing without my shoulder pads. (Yeah... it was a mental thing. Anyway...) Went out and bought this shirt and I LOVE IT. It's protects, is very comfortable, and is VERY WASHABLE. One of the best decision I made in a long when pertaining to what I should wear on the ice.
From: Hockey Dad... Philly
Comments: A little hot, but protects well. Took a wristshot directly on the padding. barely felt the impact and no bruising.
From: James
Comments:I love this shirt it is worth the money and I use it under my Ice hockey referee jersey... Junior hockey is rough and it gives me a bit of defense of my own against 300 lb players...
