Fremitus Borealis
Flügelstürmer
The velcro's starting to give out on my current shoulder pads, and since I've been debating switching them out for a while now, this is my excuse to start looking. My question is, what is the best currently available make/model of shoulder pads that have a low profile, but are still actually protective? I know some guys just remove the shoulder caps, but I get hit into the glass just enough that I'm not comfortable doing that. And I know there's that "vintage" set that I think CCM makes that artificially looks like the pads from the 80s, but I also don't think I'd wanna take a puck to the chest with those.
But whatever I end up getting, I want the lowest-profile possible, since I'm short enough that some brands, my cage actually catches on the shoulders, and others I can't even look over my shoulder at all.
