2inOne Poly Shoulder Pad

• "2inOne" is the legitimate successor of the well known CarbonTek shoulder pad system.
• The sensational difference compared to conventional shoulder pads is that the pads are not fixed to the outer shell as it is usually the case. Instead they are integrated into a seperate padded compression vest.
• Shell and vest provide an extreme closeness of equipment and body, which provides improved mobility and less gaps between protection and body.
• The light weight polyethylene shell is meant to be strapped onto the vest. The front part of the shell is narrower than that of usual pads, which helps the player to move the arms more freely.
• The shell has only one installed shoulder flap, since the padded vest already holds additional padding around the shoulder even reaching to the upper part of the biceps.
• CE mark of conformity

2inOne Compression Vest

• This extraordinary padded compression vest offers the advantage of keeping the perfect fit while the player is performing any body movement.
• An additional advantage lies in the extended length of the vest covering and protection the ribs fully.
• It is fully machine washable, should be air-dried.
• This innovating padding reduces up to 81% of the impact.
• The vest can also be worn during non-contact practice.
