Vicis Varsity ARC_V1 Trench Shoulder Pads

These pads are specifically engineered with a 'trench cut' design for offensive linemen, defensive linemen, defensive ends, and tight ends. If you play a skill position like wide receiver or defensive back, you will likely find these too bulky and restrictive for your needs.

Yes, the integrated backplate is designed to offer comprehensive lower back protection that aligns with the rest of the pad's coverage. It is built to stay secure during contact, so you don't need to purchase an additional piece.

The CURV thermoplastic composite is designed to be high-stiffness while remaining lightweight. It provides the necessary impact distribution for heavy contact without adding the excessive bulk typically found in traditional heavy-duty pads.

The internal padding uses a dual-density foam system with a soft-touch lining, which helps manage impact energy. Additionally, the materials are moisture-resistant, which helps keep the pads from becoming heavy or uncomfortable due to sweat buildup.

The locking epaulette is a specific safety feature designed to protect the AC joint during impact. It helps stabilize the shoulder area and prevents the pad from shifting out of place when you are engaged in physical blocks.
