We have already done
a lot of the “weeding out” of all of the irrelevant pads to help you with your
selection but you definitely should consider a few things.
Does my position affect which pad I should choose? You betcha. If you look through the selection of shoulder pads you will notice some are very bulky that provide more protection and some pads provide a very minimal amount of protection. Like everything else in lacrosse, there is a give and take when selecting. For instance, You can have maximum protection but sacrifice mobility and can have minimum protection but maximum mobility. Your position is a good deciding factor. If you are playing offense you are much more inclined to be whacked by opposing defensemen so you really want to protect your shoulders and upper arms among other things. If you are defensemen you can normally go with a much lighter pad since you may only take a few hits a game. This is personal preference of course, don’t get mad at us if you play D and you sustain an injury for lack of pads!
Are some brands better then other brands? No, people come in all shapes and sizes and all manufacturers pads come in different shapes and sizes as well. If you want to be sure, you should go in to the store and try on as many as you can. Every brand tries to come out with different technology but at the end of the day you should most concerned with the fit.
Hopefully this clears some things up for you but as usual, give us a call at 1(888)southswell with any more specific questions.
