5 Minute Major 1 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 Tried searching for info on the Shock Doctor 5 pad 530 Impact Shorts. I was just wondering if any of you use these for roller hockey and what do you think of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharks25 9 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 Ive used them for about 8 months now. They are still in great condition, as I air them out after every skate. They are protective enough for falls, but dont really protect well on blocked shots. Thats fine with me because i rarely block shots. I would get them again, as they are very light and comfortable.

5 Minute Major 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I want. Enough protections for falls and bumping the boards. I found them for 49 on ebay. Mission Thorax's are the same price though. Any insight on the Thorax's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vet88 674 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Thorax's are very good - light, flexible and offer reasonable protection against shots and falls. As an older person I prefer a girdle for the better protection but these would be my next choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5 Minute Major 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 I just decided to go with the Thorax's. Thanks for the info fellas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle Friedman 9 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 I dont like the thoraz as it feels very bulky and heavy to me. I returned mine and picked up an Alkali Ca5 girdle, and i took out the thigh pads. Perfect for me, lightweight and offers minimal protection. I recommend them over anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
