Lightweight mobile shoulder pads for beer league

[Mikej411 2]

Looking for a very lightweight mobile shoulder pad as my current ones are too heavy and bulky for beer league hockey. Any suggestions?

CCM U+ Fit 07 or similar. Fantastic mobility and decent protection.

Did a review here: http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?/topic/62381-ccm-u-fit-07-shoulder-pads/

Without any more information on your part I'd go ahead an name mine - CCM Crazy-Lite (CL) or Crazy-Strong (CS), both very light, still very protective, don't soak up water and have a nice low profile.

CCM CL or CS...super mobile, very light. Best I've owned...

Padded rugby shirt.http://www.worldrugbyshop.com/854819.html

Padded rugby shirt might not be a bad idea. Are the Bauer Classic Supremes as lightweight and mobile as the Sherwood 5030s? I was thinking about going with the Sherwoods, but they are lacking protection

[Zwitter 27]

To me the answer is pretty easy, Farrell H500 or H600 shoulder pads. Fully customizable to your liking and very lightweight & mobile.

If i had to wear something for beer league, it would be the Sherwood 5030s (or something similar).

CCM Fit series.

Why are the Farrels an easy answer? How do they differ from sherwood 5030 or Bauer classic supremes? Ive never looked into the Farrels so i dont know anything about them

and it's hard to ask customer service, as the company is pretty much down.

But farrell is a good option imo indeed, and I don't think you're gonna have lighter shoulder pads than 5030.

I'd look mostly into lacrosse gear, combined with a rugby shirt.

Yes they are. Good protection too.

Here's what you're looking for: Sher-Wood Traditionals

I picked up CCM U+ 04's a couple of months ago. Low profile, basic pad and they don't get in my way. Got em for 30 bucks

I would try out different ones at your LHS. I tried on a bunch of different brands in the same size and a few when I lifted up my arms would completely shift up my neck to my jaw. There were a few that felt way better than others and ended up with Warrior Bully's. The shoulder caps are a little big imo but they're nice.

A few guys on my beer league team have started going to the rugby/roller hockey shirts. They really like them as it gives protection but leaves mobility. I don't hear them complaining about over-heating either. Seems to work out well for them.

Try the CCM 1899 classic shoulders.. light and and very mobile set

[Mikej411 2]

How do those 1899s compare to the Bauer supreme classics?

From the looks of it, those Warrior Bully's don't have any rib pads

Those CCM u+04 look like they'd be too much. I was thinking something like the bauer/ccm classics

[HockeySavants 5]

Bauer Supreme Classics or Sherwood 5030s are excellent.

[Fire Walker 22]

Warrior Projekt's with the shoulder cap removed were perfect for me. They had the best off the shelf mobility of the shoulder pads I tried on.

[AfftonDad 88]

You could check out lacrosse shoulder pads. They are generally lighter and cooler than hockey shoulder pads. Plus a lot of them have bicep pads and caps that are removable (velcro) because a lot of players remove them in favor of mobility. Having said that, my son wears his CCM U+CL hockey shoulder pads for lacrosse... go figure.

i've been using the bauer classics for a few years now in beer league and love them. they're good enough for the occasional rough stuff or a puck hitting you. not very protective though. caps are nice and small too, very low profile. I can second the roller hockey/rugby shirts. few friends wear them and love them.
