Men's Shoulder Pads

Starting January 1, 2022, USA Lacrosse, NFHS & NCAA are all requiring players to wear chest protectors or shoulder pads that meet the new NOCSAE ND200 standard.

The new National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) ND200 standard for chest protectors and shoulder pads aims to provide safer equipment for lacrosse players and reduce the risk of commotio cordis (cardiac arrest induced by impact to the area over the heart).

The NOCSAE logo emblazoned on the protector indicates the gear meets the new standard for chest protection as established by NOCSAE. If your shoulder pads do not have this logo, then they do not meet the standard, and you need to replace them for the 2022 season.
