Overview
The Sherwood Rekker SWD Women's Hockey Shoulder Pads combine lightweight, pro-level protection with an anatomical design built specifically for female hockey players. Developed for women's hockey and tested by pro players, the SWD design contours naturally to the female body for comfortable coverage and unrestricted mobility.
Central to the design is the MODiFIT adjustable front vest system, which uses Velcro adjustments beneath the sternum to modify the contour of the vest for a more personalized fit around the torso. Anatomical Isolated Zones (AIZ) incorporate strategically placed stretch zones that move with the player's body, providing 360-degree coverage while maintaining flexibility for total freedom of movement during play.
NITREX impact foam in the shoulder caps helps absorb repeated impacts while remaining lightweight, flexible, waterproof, and sweat-resistant. Sherwood's Customizable Impact Protection (CIP) system adds adjustability at the belly pad, rib straps, and biceps, allowing players to customize the fit and protective coverage to their preference. Internally, a MicroBan antimicrobial liner helps combat odor-causing bacteria to keep the shoulder pads fresher between games.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SHOULDER PAD SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure the circumference of your chest roughly 1" below the armpit using a soft measuring tape, string, or shoelace. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. Personal preference may come into consideration in case there is an overlap between two shoulder pad sizes. For more coverage, go with the larger size. Choose the smaller size for a lower-profile fit and better responsiveness. |
