Tired of those hacking defensemen that can only throw space age metal at your body as you blow by them on your journey to the net? Bruises are worth the goals but you don’t need to have so many that you look like Steven Tyler!
Equip yourself with a good pair of arm pads and rib pads. Rib pads shown are Canadian box pads and are available via special order from Lacrosse International in Downingtown, PA. They are called ‘Intrepid Kidney Pads’ by BeBeers and you may need to order a half dozen with your friends to get them to special order them from the great white north.
Notice the 3 hard plastic strips that run down the back and the hard shell on the rib area. You won’t feel a thing when those stray checks by those clumsy defensemen hit your mid section. Lead time may be a few weeks but they should last years. Spending endless time in the middle of the offensive zone should be worth a few bucks and a little wait.
