Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right shoulder pad for my position?
Linemen need maximum protection with reinforced shoulder caps and extended coverage (Python Lineman, Falcon Lineman). Skill positions like QB, WR, and DB benefit from low-profile, lightweight pads that allow mobility (Python Skill, Falcon Skill). All-purpose pads work well for youth players or those playing multiple positions (Gauntlet series, Python All-Purpose).

What's the difference between youth and adult shoulder pads?
Youth shoulder pads are sized and weighted appropriately for younger, smaller players. They feature adjustable components to accommodate growth and are designed with proper proportions for youth body types. Adult pads are larger, heavier, and built for the increased impact forces at higher levels of play.

How should football shoulder pads fit?
Shoulder pads should cover the shoulder joint completely, with the shoulder caps sitting directly on top of the shoulders (not hanging off). The neck opening should allow comfortable head movement without gaps. The bottom of the pads should cover the rib cage without restricting breathing. Straps should be snug but not overly tight.

What is a cantilever shoulder pad system?
A cantilever system features a floating arch design that sits above the shoulder, distributing impact forces away from the body and across the pad structure. This provides superior shock absorption while maintaining mobility and reducing the direct transfer of impact to the player's body.

Can shoulder pads be repaired if straps or hooks break?
Yes! We carry replacement parts including shoulder pad straps with T-hooks and individual T-hooks. Many shoulder pad components can be replaced to extend the life of your equipment and save money versus buying entirely new pads.

Do you offer team pricing on bulk shoulder pad orders?
Absolutely! We offer competitive wholesale pricing on bulk orders for teams, schools, and organizations. Contact our team with your roster size and position breakdown for a custom quote on team shoulder pad packages.

What's the difference between the Gauntlet, Python, and Falcon series?
The Gauntlet series offers versatile all-purpose protection with air management systems, ideal for youth and developing players. The Python series features advanced low-profile designs with position-specific models for linemen and skill positions. The Falcon series provides maximum protection with reinforced construction for high-impact positions.
