These women’s hockey shoulder pads are built around the Sherwood Women’s Design concept and focus on protection, comfort and freedom of movement during demanding play. They combine an adjustable front vest system, impact-absorbing foam and flexible protection zones that adapt to the body. The result is a secure, comfortable feel for net-front battles, puck battles and fast movement on the ice.

Technology and construction
MODiFIT
MODiFIT is an adjustable front vest system with Velcro adjustments positioned under the sternum. It is engineered to contour the female torso laterally while supporting comfort, mobility and a stable fit during play.
Nitrex® Shock Absorption
Nitrex® is a lightweight and flexible foam designed to absorb repeated impacts. Used in the shoulder caps and sternum, it helps disperse contact energy while being resistant to water and sweat.
Microban® Liner
The liner includes Microban® antimicrobial technology to help reduce odour build-up. In practice, this helps the gear feel fresher throughout training sessions and games.
AIZ Protection
AIZ protection uses stretch zones and breathable perforated protective foam in the front vest. This helps the pads wrap around the body for 360° coverage while maintaining comfort and freedom of movement.
CIP – Customizable Impact Protection
CIP allows the fit and coverage to be adjusted through removable or adjustable components. The front vest, rib straps, biceps and belly pad can be fine-tuned for personalized comfort and protection.
