Trusted by Lacrosse Stars
From youth players to NCAA men’s lacrosse champions to pro athletes, the Max EKG Speed shoulder pads are trusted equipment across all levels of competitive lacrosse.
EKG Protection System
Maverik engineered an innovative padding system for the Max EKG Speed shoulder pads modeled after an electrocardiogram’s energetic pattern. This EKG design disperses impact forces optimally across the shoulder through strategic segmentation. By channeling kinetic energy laterally and medially away from the vulnerable joint, the EKG system substantially reduces direct trauma during checks and hits. Plastic inserts supplement the smart foam padding to add an extra layer of protection right where players need it most. Through this anatomically contoured approach, Maverik gives athletes robust shielding without limiting mobility.
Max Ventilation
Cooling airflow was a major priority in the Max EKG Speed’s design. The shoulder pads utilize breathable mesh material and strategic venting ports to allow heat to dissipate. Air can circulate through the padding to prevent the buildup of warmth during intense games and practices. Maverik also engineered the padding foam using proprietary Thermo Core technology. This helps regulate body temperature and moisture when athletes are exerting themselves at full tilt. By wicking away sweat and enabling breezes through the pads, the Max Ventilation system helps players avoid overheating so they can maintain focus and stamina even in the summer heat. Staying cool and dry promotes comfort and endurance on the field.
Adjustable and Removable Padding
Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all pads, the Maverik Max EKG Speed shoulder pads provide customizable protection. The sternum and spine pads are both adjustable and removable. Players can dial in the fit by tightening or loosening these shields to find their personal sweet spot of mobility and impact absorption. For those who want max agility, removing the spine pad is an option to pare down the bulk while still keeping vital organ protection. This adaptability empowers athletes to tailor the pads to match their unique style of play and preference. Whether craving fast-twitch maneuverability as an attackman or wanting added spine coverage as a takeaway defensive midfielder, the adaptable padding provides flexibility.
Low-Profile Design
Unlike bulky traditional pads, the Maverik Max EKG Speed has a slim, contoured profile that hugs close to the athlete’s body. This low-profile construction allows for maximum mobility of the shoulders, arms, and torso. Since the padding isn’t exaggerated, players have full range of motion for quick dodges, pinpoint passing, and powerful shots. The pads contour to the physique for uninhibited athletic performance. Shooters can wind up fully thanks to the unrestrictive design. Defenders can throw checks and intercept without their pads getting in the way. Overall, the tight fight enables lightning-fast reaction time, fast-twitch maneuvers, and confident play across all positions.
High Tech Foam
At the heart of the Max EKG Speed’s padding is high-performance Poron XRD foam. This advanced material expertly absorbs impact while remaining lightweight and flexible. The innovative foam conforms to the athlete’s body for tailored cushioning. During bone-jarring hits, the Poron XRD technology provides superior shock absorption and dissipation compared to standard foams. It flexes naturally with the player’s motions. Maverik strategically layered this high-tech foam for optimal protection right where players need it, from the shoulders down through the biceps and ribcage. Even during intense game action, the pioneering padding material supplies responsive cushioning and breathability when navigating contact.
Antimicrobial and Moisture-Wicking Liner
To promote cooling airflow and hygienic wear, Maverik equipped the Max EKG Speed pads with an antimicrobial liner. This inner lining wicks moisture away from the skin while preventing the growth of bacteria and odors. As athletes work up a sweat, the liner pulls that perspiration off the body so it can evaporate instead of pooling. At the same time, the antimicrobial properties inhibit the spread of microbes that cause staph infections or foul smells. The liner also cuts down on friction against the uniform for all-game comfort. By keeping players drier, cleaner, and cooler, the high-tech lining enhances padding performance and promotes healthier skin.
Easy to Customize Fit
Achieving an ideal fit is crucial for protection and performance. The Max EKG Speed shoulder pads simplify the customization process through adjustable straps across the back, shoulders, and torso. Players can tighten or loosen these straps until the padding hugs their body comfortably while still allowing full mobility. Taller athletes can raise the torso segment for optimal coverage, while smaller players can lower it. The easy to manipulate fasteners let each athlete dial in a contoured fit for their physique. This ensures the protective foam layers and plastic inserts shield vulnerabilities without restricting movement. With a tailored adjustable fit, the pads move naturally with players as they cut, drive, and spin around defenders.
Unique Asymmetrical Design
Most shoulder pads use a symmetrical shape, but Maverik engineers analyzed biomechanics and designed the Max EKG Speed with an asymmetrical form. This mirrors the natural contours and movements of the shoulders, arms, and torso during athletic play. The right and left padding sections feature tailored shaping that complements how each shoulder moves independently. This anatomical design allows the pads to flow seamlessly with the body’s cadence. By mimicking natural asymmetry, the pads deliver a second-skin fit for cradling, passing, and shooting. Athletes can whip their stick fluidly without the padding inhibiting their innate motor patterns. The ergonomic shaping also enhances protection by cushioning impact forces across the unique topography of each shoulder joint.
Ideal for Offensive Players
The Max EKG Speed shoulder pads are tailor-made for offensive players who need to be shifty and explosive on attack. The slim fit and dynamic protection give dodgers the maneuverability to juke past defenders while still absorbing contact. Since the padding is ergonomic and mobile, shooters have full range to crank powerful shots on cage. The ventilation keeps runners cool when pressing transition chances. Meanwhile, the padding along the ribs and shoulders provides insurance against late hits on drives. While versatile enough for any position, the Max Speed pads really shine for attackmen, midfielders, and offensive-minded defensemen who want quickness along with vital impact protection.
Multiple Size Options
Maverik offers the EKG shoulder pads in a range of sizes from small up through extra-large. This diverse sizing ensures players of all builds can find just the right fit. Proper fit is vital for both safety and performance. Loose pads can shift and expose vulnerabilities, while overly tight pads restrict movement.
