You are braver then I if you will wear them in game. I have been hit by wild shots more than once and after trying them on, I was not excited about the idea of having some plug uncork a wild one and get hit. My son actually liked the farrels, but they dont come in his size. So I went with some Itechs for him.

Suprised you are not rocking the old Bauer Pro defenders.

Thanks Mike...I have seen the Farrells, but they don't make them big enough to fit my shoulders and arms.

Had a set of cloth shoulder pads for about 15 years without a hint of plastic or anything else on them. After all those years, they finally fell apart, and I haven't found anything that will fit me that doesn't seem like a football linebacker's pads.
