The CCM Super Tacks Shoulder Pads offer next-level protection with the use of their premium D30 smart foam in the sternum and shoulder caps. The spine and the kidneys are reinforced with a high-density closed-cell foam that maintains excellent protection and prevents water absorption.
Unique to the Super Tacks is the dual-core shoulder caps and the integrated Anti-Lift technology. CCM layred high-density, closed cell foam and D3O smart foam to dissipate the highest levels of impacts. They are attached to the body of the shoulder pad in a hinged fashion for complete range of motion unlike some of the competition. The two-piece bicep guard is fully adjustable and allows players to remove the bottom extension if so desired.
D3O is also found in the large sternum guard, providing top-notch protection for a very vital part of the body. Similar to the spine guard, the sternum plate features several connection points to the body via elastic straps so that the pads feel like a second-skin instead of stiff, medieval body armor. The rear is beefed up this year with high-density, closed-cell foam while the liner features a 3D embossed design for optimal airflow through the pad.
