Douglas FX14 Shoulder Pad

The FX14 is designed for athletes who prioritize mobility and a full range of motion. Its low-profile, cut-away design makes it an excellent choice for skill positions like wide receivers, defensive backs, or quarterbacks who need to move freely without feeling restricted by bulky equipment.

Not at all. While the FX14 is streamlined to reduce bulk, it utilizes contoured cups that provide robust impact protection. It balances a sleek silhouette with the necessary safety features required for competitive play.

This design removes excess material from the shoulder area, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the pad. By cutting away these sections, the pad allows for greater flexibility and a more natural arm movement, especially when reaching overhead or extending for a catch.

This model comes equipped with Super Shaved SC18 components and Rev Cups. These are specialized parts chosen to maintain the pad's low-profile aesthetic while ensuring you get the performance benefits Douglas is known for.

The matte black finish is primarily an aesthetic choice, providing a cohesive, professional look on the field with matching cushions and bias. However, the durable construction underneath ensures that the pad maintains its integrity throughout the season.
