Absolutely a must have for practice, & game day! Fits over the shoulder pads, and allows for some air flow (put on compression shorts under pads when the weather cools off) to help contend with the heat.We made, strong stitching, quality material that held up very well to all the rough and tough a lineman goes through (the illegal clothes pulling too) during the season. Matter of a fact - we will be able to use this next year, and the year after if it still fits, if not we’ll donate to another coach for a kid whose parents may not have the extra cash.I can see it lasting & looking no nice for at least 4 seasons. Definitely a money, & hassle saver over time!We absolutely DO recommend this article,&Hope our review is helpful!
