I bought these Phantom shoulder pads recently, love them for my son. He had his first practice and fit great. Nice design, fit, protection. My older son has the white Defender.

5 Luca_D
My son just started tackle football this year and we wanted something that offered real protection without being too bulky or uncomfortable. These Phantom shoulder pads delivered exactly that. He ’s 11, about 5 ’ 1 ”, and the youth large fit him perfectly — snug but not restrictive. The padding feels solid and well- placed, especially around the shoulders and sternum, and it gives him confidence when making contact. The design also looks sharp — he said he felt like a superhero putting them on. They ’ re also lightweight enough that he ’s not weighed down, but still feel durable and built to last. Overall, great value for the price, and a perfect pad for kids just starting out in tackle football. Would definitely recommend to other parents.

I bought this after my son severely bruised his ribs in a high school soccer game. It has quality padding while not being too bulky or inhibiting his movement. I believe this gave him the confidence to return the the game quicker than if he had not had the protection. Dick ’s not only price matched, but also honored the current coupon that I had. It made me a huge fan where I was just a customer bwfore

We got the adult Battle Defender shoulder pads for my 16- year- old son heading into his junior year of high school. He plays running back and occasionally linebacker, and these have been a game- changer. Right away, the fit stood out — snug, low profile, and super lightweight compared to other brands we 've tried. The protection is solid without feeling bulky, and the sternum and rib coverage gives me confidence he's well protected. He mentioned it feels like he's not even wearing pads once he ’s on the field — full range of motion, no pinching or shifting. Plus, the look is clean and modern, which matters to a high school athlete. Ventilation has also been great during summer practices. Highly recommend for skill position players who want to stay fast and protected. Worth every penny.

I brought this confidence shirt for my son who plays elite u11 soccer. It took a bit to get him to wear but he know wo n't play a game without it. Over the last two weeks, he has taken hits directly to areas that are protected in the shirt. He took a soccer ball to the chest that would have put him on the ground. After the impact he was able to keep on playing through without a hitch. He also collided with a goalie who had his knee up. The collision hit him right underneath the chest or sternum. This could have caused a major injury. Again, he was barely affected by the impact. Thank you for making this product. I think you need to market it more agressively to youth soccer which is quite physical at the elite level. My son is a striker and take a fair amount of punishment. We were growing quite concerned about him until we got this product. This product is worth every penny and I will buy it again.

5 Stephanie L.
I bought these shirts for our boys( size S, M, L). They are very lightweight, wearing well, and are great quality!

The protection area is large& the sides of the shirt is mesh so it will be cool for the summer games. This shirt is exactly what I was looking for!!

Our daughter is a pitcher on a competitive 14u softball team. We bought this to give her a little added protection on the mound. Fortunately she had it on this weekend when she took a hard line drive to the ribs. She was able to pick herself up and finish the game, no bruise, no broken ribs.
