The Best Lacrosse Shoulder Pads

In 2022, NOCSAE created a new standard for shoulder pads called ND200.  It requires that all shoulder pads include a chest cap to protect the heart from commotio cordis. These chess caps can be quite large and cumbersome, so we’d like to find a shoulder pad that fits the requirement, doesn’t have too large of a chest plate, and matches our protection preference.
