stevo 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2004 I just went through this dilemma a couple weeks ago and I decided on the Bauer 8000 Lightspeeds. I tried on just about every shoulder pad on the market and I found them to suit me the best. If money is no object, the Nike V-12's are awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2004 Check out Itechs, they offer a variety of models and are a really solid pad for a good price. I love them, I use 775s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The v12s are like paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2004 I disagree, I wear Itech pads and the caps are smaller then those. I like a smaller cap, and the Nikes are a little too big for my preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wristshot19 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 The V12's are pretty nice I think, they are just a tad bulky in the shoulder caps. The Nike's are in no way, shape, or form bulky! It all depends on what a person defines as bulky. If they are not used to wearing any shoulderpads then they may consider about 90% of the equipment out there as bulky. If they are currently wearing the old footbal style pads that Douglas and Easton used to make then they might consider 90% of the other products on the market non-bulky. Information on what this person is currently wearing and what they think of their current pads can help in establishing baseline for comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
