Most protective shoulders?

[marka 526]

Howdy,

Had rotator cuff surgery & bicep tendon repair in February.  Doc cleared me to start skating & practicing again this past week, but no hard shots / significant contact.

I'd like to upgrade the protection for my shoulders regardless.  Recommendations for shoulders that have good shoulder protection?  I don't care about bulk / mobility / weight.  Leaning toward the AS-V Pro since they have d3o but ??

I'd say AS-V Pro's, the Tacks shoulder caps tend to wrap a little more front/back than the Jetspeed/CL/RBZ/QL line.

AS1 Tacks also a good choice as is the 2SPro and 1S from Bauer.  If you don't mind a little more old-school...Reebok and Jofa pro stock stuff are tanks.

Here in Europe there is a special edition of the Tacks AS-V pro called ASV-Pro NHL spec.. Would say it’s even more protective than AS-V pro.

If you prefer Bauer over CCM i would go for Bauer Pro Series shoulder pads.
