Football is played so intensely in the States, that the teammates armour themselves like knights -  take note Neymar - this is because they crash into each other like stags in rutting season! The X2 created by XTech Pads have been designed to provide reliable protection, whilst at the same time allowing for flexibility and breathability. These shoulder pads have been carefully crafted to ensure every element is performing to its utmost to push you to do the same. They are lightweight, breathable, flexible, water resistant and importantly comfortable.

Built with XRD Technology, an exclusive industry partner, the 3-Point Swivel Arch Attachment is created with a front and back 3-point swivel-lock arch attachment, this lets the players freely move their arms and locks in place during impact. There are ventilation holes in both the front and the back of the unit, along with vent holes perforating the body cushions to help direct air flow on to the players body and increasing breathability, you will still sweat, because you are working your butt off, but you don’t have to worry about over heating in a load of stuffy gear. The Outside Cantilever System consists of a two-piece arch outside cantilever system which helps to disperses energy across the body upon impact before it gets to cantilever yoke and body cushions.

The adjustable channel system separates the front and back body cushions and can be adjusted to a precise and personal fit, the swivel belt and buckle system is made from a tough and flexible Hi-flex bio-thane and adds to the overall suppleness of the apparel. These shoulder pads are custom built to your specific order and there is a straightforward drop-down system that lets you personalise the size, arch, epaulet, cup, shoulder foam, player number, back plate (all backplates will be riveted onto your custom pad), rib combo, belt rib, isolation inserts and bet cushions. The X2 are very well made with a beautiful, premium finish, they are wonderfully light, breathable and flexible as well as providing consistent, durable protection throughout the game. RRP £450
