These pads utilize Impact Dissipating Visco-Elastic Dry Polymer Padding and Memory Foam. This combination provides shoulder protection while still maintaining light-weight. The pads are strategically scalloped for AC protection and isolation. Designed to protect both injured and healthy players. Velcro provisions are included for easy installation into most any pad system.
Edgerrin James, Indianapolis Colts Running Back was one of the first players to use the Polymer Pads while still in College at the University of Miami. Edgerrin has not played an NFL game without these pads.
"The first day Edgerrin signed with us, he asked us to get the same shoulder pad inserts that he had at the University of Miami. We got one set. After a few weeks, other players liked the pad inserts and now we have more players protected by them. I'm impressed with the protection they provide."

"After shoulder separations I feel that we provide our players with a pad that they will have confidence in to protect them. I am placing these pads in all of our high impact position player's shoulder pads for prevention."
