Great! had very little problems with this pad
Good medium padding for linebackers, Defensive ends and pulling lineman. Medium padding allows for more range of motion and agility for high speed/contact positions. Pads are not loose, but firm, this allows faster movements and more of a solid hit to the opposing player. I played two games a week (also had practice) during the season and they held up extremely well. The belt mechanism makes your pads fit perfect and makes you less vulnerable to hard tackles/blocks. This is the first pad that i was satisfied with and ive been playing football for more than seven years. I give this pad a 9/10. The belt lock mechanism is extremely hard to unlock if its to tight and will require at least one teammate to free you from your pads. This shouldn't be a problem for players who tighten their pads correctly. If you are a hard hitting linebacker or DE who as no regard for his body and tightens their pads as tight a possible, then this will be an annoyance to you and you will probably be the last one out of the locker room after practice because you are trying to release yourself from the pads death grip!
