The Winnwell Q7 Shoulder Pads come with molded plastic protection in both the shoulders and biceps, making these a great choice for recreational or casual hockey players. This protection guards players against impacts with the boards, ice, or other players and offers great coverage for other impacts too. The molded biceps have length adjustability, allowing players to raise or lower the guard to eliminate gaps in protection.
Additionally, the Q7 has added coverage with a standard foam belly guard, which can be removed if needed. Thick standard foam is used throughout the torso panels for lightweight protection while the sternum guard features a higher-density foam and PE insert for extra shielding. Instead of merely masking unpleasant odors, the liner integrates Cleansport NXT Technology into the fabric, effectively eliminating odor-causing bacteria, and this technology remains effective throughout the entire lifespan of the shoulder pads.

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. |
