Battle Defender Shoulder Pads — Youth

The lightest shoulder pads on the market — now sized for the next generation of explosive players.

Battle Sports built the Defender Youth with the same aerospace-grade materials and engineering as the adult version — no shortcuts, no compromises. Young athletes get the same locked-in fit, full range of motion, and ventilation that the pros demand. The articulating chassis moves with growing bodies, keeping the pads in place through every cut, hit, and sprint.

Protection

• Aerospace-grade shell — Exceptional durability and impact resistance at a fraction of the weight of traditional pads
• Removable sternum protector — Direct chest impact protection you can customize to your preference
• Foam neck roll — Added comfort and protection around the neck and collarbone area
• High-density foam padding — Thick coverage across chest, back, and shoulders where it matters most

Mobility and Fit

• Articulating chassis — Moves with your body for full range of motion on every play
• Biothane straps — Lightweight, durable straps that keep the pads locked in place
• Articulating belt — Secures the pads to your torso for a locked-in, no-shift fit
• Contoured epaulette and cup design — Shaped to sit naturally on your shoulders without restricting arm movement

Ventilation

• Innovative ventilation system — Reduces heat buildup and keeps airflow moving during intense play

Size Guide

Measure the distance from AC to AC (across the top of the shoulders).
