Douglas NP56 Nitro Adult Football Pads feature hitting flaps to provide maximum protection for every position. The cut-away shell design provides better flexibility and arm extension. The main body cushion and removable channels are both 3/4 inch thick.
The protective padding cushion is made of open cell foam. Within the foam are thousands of tiny air cells. By adhering the outer fabric to the foam, a sealed environment is created trapping the air inside the cushion. When an outside force is exerted on to the shoulder pad shell "load spreader", the force causes the shell to push on the cushion, forcing the air to move within the cells of the foam out 360 degrees, thereby lessening the blow from being felt straight into the point of impact. There is a much wider area of dispersion, resulting in less trauma to the body. That's called Air-Management.
Douglas NP56 Nitro Adult Football Pads are ideal for tight ends, defensive ends, full backs, linebackers, and multi-position players.
