Brand new for the 2021 season are the Alpha LX Pro Junior Shoulder Pads from Warrior Hockey! These pads look to incorporate the latest upgrades from Warrior creating a great and protective shoulder pad for elite level players. To achieve this, Warrior incorporated multi-layered foams in the chest, shoulders, and biceps that help protect players in all the key areas while remaining lightweight and mobile. Starting with the Cap design, Warrior is using a new low-profile contoured shoulder cap designed to be more lightweight and sleek. These caps will offer maximum impact protection without sacrificing mobility. The Warrior Alpha LX Pro Shoulder pads feature a new jacket design known as MaxProtect, with compression molded IMPAX foams added in key impact zones. Along with that is a floating spine, sternum, and a belly pad that adds protection in key areas that need it most. The Alpha LX Pro will have an improved Wartech FNC Liner that is a Strike yellow liner powered by Polygiene to keep you cool, dry, and odor free. Helping with this is also the Fantom Stretch ventilation. This vented internal jacket features lightweight stretch material which helps to keep the pads cool and light. Also this year the Alpha LX Pro Shoulder Pads will include new “Lay Flat Straps” which will be easier to use and won’t get caught on your jersey. If you are player looking for a set of shoulder pads that are low-profile and lightweight, but also protective and comfortable, look no further than the Warrior Alpha LX Pro Junior Shoulder Pads!

CCM Tacks AS-V shoulder pads are built for the player who is looking for high-end protective and mobility features at a lower price point than the top-of-the-line option. JDP injected caps with exposed foam covers Anatomical shield design with flexmotion construction Molded MD EVA foam in the torso Adaptfit strap system Vent-Tech floating sternum and spine hybrid shields Sublimated liner with soft front stretch panels The Tacks AS-V model, like the top-end Tacks AS-V, features D3O smart material in many areas of the shoulder pads, providing premium impact protection and shock absorption. In the shoulder caps, the AS-V features D3O and JDP cap construction, designed to disperse the force of impact away from the shoulders. These technologies combine to provide excellent impact resistance from any type of contact. In the sternum and spine, D3O partners with Vent-Tech construction for added airflow, and a floating sternum with spine hybrid shields to provide protection in these areas for impact absorption no matter how you move on the ice. CCM implements their Flexmotion base jacket and adjustable strap system for the construction of the 9080. This anatomical design prevents the shoulder pads from lifting so the protective features, like D3O, stay close to the body, acting as an extension of the torso. The adjustable strap system provides a personalized fit, ensuring the protective features of the entire shoulder pad work as they are designed to. CCM also places a focus on protecting key areas like the kidneys and spine. The Tacks AS-V uses molded MD EVA foam for excellent kidney coverage and floating sternum coverage, protecting you as you move. For added torso protection, CCM uses their removable belly and lower back pad, which also provides customized comfort. For comfort, CCM uses a sublimated liner with dual layer stretch panels, designed for maximum air flow and mobility. This high-tech liner keeps the pads light while you stay cool and dry throughout the game. With plenty of top-end technologies and performance benefits, the Tacks AS-V shoulder pad proves to be an excellent option for the elite player who is looking for a great value.
