I purchased this for my 7 year old son his back plate fits perfectly. The back plate doesn ’ t sit too low and cover his butt like you see sometimes. Just be mindful the two screws on each side don ’ t exactly line up so you may only be able to utilize 3 screws. It ’s still secure however.

5 NicolettaD
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 purchased this pad for a preseason all star camp for my son and he is loving it. He says it is lighter weight than the pads he wore last year and he says he does n't feel sore at all after a full weekend of hitting. He also loved that he was the only kid with these pads, really happy with this purchase!

5 Naperville Bears Fan
Super excited for the season to start! Our local store is stocked full of new football gear and these pads look to be on another level. Sharp look and night and day different build than every other youth pad in the store. Also picked up a new mouthguard and some cleats, we are ready for the season to start!

5 Good design
Bought these shoulder pads for my youngest because of the design. Outside of their outstanding appearance, the internal pad configuration is not like anything else available on the market. Great care was taken to include air channel on all pad surfaces up against the body to keep players cool. Nice work Legion design team! A++ The entire assembly is light weight as well... your star player will love these pads, mine does;-)

These are SO different than the pads I grew up with, really cool to see that technology is giving kids better equipment! Wish these were around when I was playing!

5 Parent looking for right protection
Our son has worn this product for baseball since he was 6 years old. We are on our third shirt because he keeps growing out of them. After looking at all the other brands we felt this was the best product because of the protective dome. Other shirts felt like they just put layers of padding in the shirt. This shirt has a sewn in insert that can withstand impact. If a line drive hits this dome the chest will not take the impact the dome will. I would recommend this product to anyone and we have recommended this product. Very pleased.

5 Baseball Mom
We 've used this for all three of our sons' little league games and practices-- especially when they 're pitching-- since we saw a heart surgeon's son wearing one. This is the best of all the heart- guards. We still use the first one we bought, and after dozens and dozens of washings, it looks brand new. It fits well, which is important, because the guard must cover the heart. We highly recommend it and will continue to buy them as the boys grow.

5 Hollyhoops
So far we are happy with the Heart- Gard shirt but really my son has not played in a game yet, just practice. He says it's comfortable to wear. I like that he has the added protection. Glad to have found this product.

5 Sports Mom
After hearing scary stories year after year about kids and teen baseball players being hit hard by baseballs in the chest and the serious need for defibrillators at all ballparks, we were glad to see this product for sale. My son wears the shirt under his jersey and he says it is comfortable. It gives us all added confidence when the ball is hit hard and fast by a strong player. One less thing to worry about and well worth the money!

5 gbabies9
First of all I want to apologize for any problems I placed on your order staff, I was so desperate for the product. It it very great and protects my younger grandson, my older grandson the product was to small for him. Very pleased ca n't wait until you store opens up closer to use. Thank you.

5 Big D Dad
Amazing price for amazing pads. Way better technology than the basic riddell pads. Recommend watching a YouTube review.

5 AugiesMom
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After a lot of research, we chose the LEGION M100 shoulder pads for my son, who plays Middle Linebacker, Nose Guard, and Fullback at around 132 lbs, and they ’ ve exceeded our expectations. The first thing he noticed was how lightweight they are. Even though they offer excellent protection, they don ’ t feel bulky or restrict his movement. As a player who spends a lot of time making contact in the trenches and carrying the ball, mobility is just as important as protection, and these deliver both. The fit is secure, the padding feels high quality, and the ventilation helps keep him cooler during long practices. He has full range of motion, which has made a noticeable difference in how confidently he plays. As a football parent, safety was my biggest priority, and the M100s gave me peace of mind without sacrificing comfort or performance. If you have a youth player who plays physical positions like MLB, NG, or FB, I highly recommend giving these a look. They ’ ve been a fantastic investment for our season.

4 Bkbdsd
My son loves it and says it ’s very comfortable. The only downside is it ’s hard to get it off. We have a hard time getting my son ‘s head through the shoulder pads.

Frequently Asked Questions For Youth Body Armor

Youth body armor refers to protective gear designed specifically for young athletes participating in contact sports. It helps safeguard vital areas of the body, such as the chest, ribs, and shoulders, from impacts and injuries during play. Wearing body armor can enhance confidence in young athletes, allowing them to focus on their performance while minimizing the risk of injury.

Youth body armor is typically made from a combination of lightweight, durable materials designed to absorb impact and provide comfort. Common materials include high-density foam, breathable fabrics, and reinforced plastics. These materials ensure that the armor is both protective and comfortable for young athletes to wear during games and practices.

Youth body armor is specifically designed to fit the smaller frames of young athletes, ensuring proper protection without compromising mobility. It often features adjustable straps and a more flexible design to accommodate growth and varying body shapes. Additionally, youth body armor may prioritize lighter materials to enhance comfort and performance for younger players.

Youth body armor is commonly used in contact sports such as football, lacrosse, and hockey, where players are at a higher risk of impacts and collisions. It is also beneficial in sports that involve physical contact or aggressive play, providing essential protection to young athletes. Using body armor in these sports can help reduce the likelihood of injuries during competition and practice.

When selecting youth body armor, consider factors such as the fit, level of protection, and the specific sport your child participates in. Ensure that the armor is comfortable and allows for a full range of motion, as this is crucial for performance. Additionally, look for features like breathability and moisture-wicking properties to keep your child comfortable during play.

Yes, many types of youth body armor are versatile and can be used across different sports. However, it's important to ensure that the armor meets the specific protective requirements of each sport. Some designs may offer more protection for certain areas, so it's advisable to choose body armor that aligns with the demands of the sport your child is participating in.
