A high-impact plastic shell sits over layered foam padding, and a weatherproof nylon taffeta cover keeps sweat and rain from soaking into the pads. For a first-year player, a league equipment manager or a parent filling out a gear list, they are a simple, sturdy starting set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePadding Where Young Players Take Contact\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pads use 40 mm thick padding over the areas most prone to injury and 25 mm padding across the front, back and shoulder caps. Underneath, a combination of open cell and closed cell foam covers the contact areas. The high-impact plastic shell forms the outer layer over that padding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Clean and Adjust\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body arch and shoulder caps attach with hook and loop, so they come off for cleaning and drying between practices. The nylon taffeta cover repels moisture and sweat. The front closes with the Grid-Lock lacing system, the pads use single strap hook-ups, and pre-drilled holes let a team attach accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing the Gridiron Youth Extra Small\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoulder pads that are too big leave the shoulder exposed and slide out of position, and pads that are too small leave gaps at the chest and shoulder caps.
