beerleaguecaptain 1004 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 Seems as if defensemen have found a soft spot... over and over again..Got crushed in the ribs after I released a shot. Got hit on the left side right about where my elbow hits my side. Next game - cross check in front. Same spot. Got wailed on in same spot two months earlier in massive collision that put me out for a week or two. For a non checking league, well.. lets just say I'm feeling the need to protect that spot!Anyone know a decent rib protector that is not built into a skin tight shirt? I don't like tight fit products - I'm kinda wide and they are very uncomfortable.Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mickz 107 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 The Easton RS and Bauer Pro Series shoulder pads come to mind if you're looking for some rib protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are light and you won't notice them too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beerleaguecaptain 1004 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Definatley will check out some of those lax rib pads. I don't want to change my current shoulder pads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
