Previous Feedback
Comments: Absolutely sick shoulder pads. They breath phenomenally to the point where I'm no longer soaked in sweat throughout my chest and back after a stick & puck session. They are very lightweight and move with your body smoothly. The velcro straps on the ribs and arms are easy to attach/detach as well. The only downside I can find to the pads is that the sternum padding kinda bends outward giving you a "pop belly" look. A+ pads well worth the money.

Comments: Great pads! Lightweight, very comfortable, and great protection. I like these pads because the design really makes you feel like you aren't wearing anything at all. These pads are a great choice if you're looking for shoulder pads that aren't bulky.
