Shoulder Caps & Protection
The Vector shoulder pads are equipped with classic JDP shoulder caps with plastic shield inserts for quality protection against impact.
Sternum Protection
The frontal area of the pads uses a combination of injected plastic and foam inserts over the sternum and ribs for solid protection. The middle layers incorporate molded HD foam in the construction. The Flexmotion base jacket with foam rib protection is designed to contour around your torso comfortably and allow for more range of motion.
Spine Protection
The spine is protected from impact with plastic and foam inserts, the same as found in the sternum area.

The biceps on the Vector pads can be adjusted in both length and width, allowing you to customize your fit for wherever you need bicep protection with its ADPTFit straps. Protective features in this area include an injected foam bicep cushion.

Player Shoulder Pad Sizing
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for a properly sized shoulder pad, you will need a soft tape measurer to measure and record your chest measurement. To do this, find the widest point of your chest (usually just below your armpits) and measure the circumference. Record the measurement in inches and compare to the available sizing charts in each brand. Also compare your height, weight and age to find your best fit.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have received your new shoulder pad, stand in front of a mirror and strap them on. You will want to check the follow criteria to ensure a proper and protective fit.
1. The tips of your shoulder are sitting directly under the middle of the shoulder cap. If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap.
- This is important because if the shoulder cap does not sit in the correct position, your clavicles, shoulders, and upper arms can become more susceptible to injury.
- Adjust the bicep guards using the Velcro straps located underneath the shoulder caps (if applicable). At the highest point, the bicep guards should not be more than halfway down the upper arm. This is important because they can interfere with your elbow pads, throwing off the fit.
If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap and not directly in line with the middle.
