The Riddell EVX 18 Adult Football Shoulder Pads - QB/WR/DB deliver the protection you demand and the mobility you need to get the job done. Perfect for skill position players, the EVX 18 features low-profile Flat Pad construction and an innovative air management liner system, improving range of motion and mobility without sacrificing impact protection and safety. Built directly with this flat pad design is the newly engineered composite sub-arch; a reinforced plastic foam sandwich surrounded with non-skid material that gives your pads extra cushioning, and improves stability in the arch-liner surface. Combine these technologies with stiff corrugated arches, powerful and streamlined caps, strategically placed open and closed-cell padding, and smooth, comfortable velvet liners, and you have a serious shoulder pad for serious players, built to keep them moving all season long.

Shoulder Pad Features:

EVX Features:
- Brand new stainless steel hardware for incredible power and strength
- Flat Pad design gives the entire pad an incredibly low profile, minimizing interference with your helmet, and improving your range of head and neck motion
- Rigid belts direct force away from the initial impact point by converting the entire arch into a large-scale, shock absorbing system
- Air Management liner system:
  - Uses a layer of semi-sealed air chambers, which slowly release their cushion of air after a hit, absorbing impact energy and spreading the force of the hit over a large volume of air, at a controlled rate
- Engineered Composite Sub-Arch:
  - A plastic reinforced foam sandwich built into a non-skid material provides improved cushioning over the shoulder, and increases stability to the arch-liner interface
- Corrugated arches for stiffness and durability
- Power Epaulet and streamlined caps
- Highly resilient Biothane epaulet straps
- 3/4" thick convoluted open-cell foam bodies improve comfort and air circulation
- 1/2" thick closed-cell foam padding protects the clavicle
- Sewn-in shoulder channels with 3/4" thick open-cell foam padding
- Comfortable velvet collars feel good against the skin of the neck
- Aggressive fade graphics intimidate the competition
QB / WR / DB Position-Specific Features:
- Flat pad design and position maximizes protection and mobility
- Lightweight, low-profile pads keep skill position players fast and agile
- Streamlined caps optimize range of motion
- 1" PVC belts
- Factory installed backplate

Just OK

April 12, 2012

My son wanted to give the Riddell EVX WR pads a try, because they make shoulder pads for the NFL. He is going to be a Soph Varisty WR this year. He found them uncomforable for him. There was too much arching which made the pads bulge in back, and they felt too thick in the chest area. They are the right size so that isn't the problem. He didn't feel the pads were secure when rotating his arms into catching positions. He tightened them as much as was comfortable, but just didn't like how they fit him. I am not saying they are a bad shoulder pad, they just didn't work for him. He is 6'1" and 167lbs. He has always use Schutt pads, which always fit him really well and he has never had a problem with them. It was just a brand change to see what Riddell offered. We sent them back a bought the Schutt O2 Flex QB-WR pads. He loves the Schutt pads. They hug his body more comfortably and the range of motion is great. He has worn Schutt pads since the 6th grade and has taken and delivered big hits with no problems. I guess he is just a Schutt guy. Don,t let this discourage you from Riddell, we just found Scutt to be a better choice and fit for him as a WR.
