Step up in the pocket or brush off would-be tacklers with the EvoShield 4-Down^™ Rib Shirt, a compression shirt engineered to house Gel-to-Shell^® Technology Rib Shields and Deltoid Shields for comprehensive protection on the gridiron. Whether you’re delivering deep balls or shaking defenders on your way to paydirt, the 4-Down^™ Rib Shirt creates a secure fit with high compression banding around the torso. Padded shoulders add an extra layer of comfort under your pads, and pockets on the exterior of the shirt make it easy to insert included Gel-to-Shell^® Technology shields for custom-molding rib and shoulder protection. Shields transform from flexible material out of the package to body-mapping guards in just 30 minutes. Customize your protection by choosing which shields you want to use. QBs may prefer to only use the deltoid shield on their non-throwing arm, while players at any position can add or remove pads based on their preference. Included EVA foam rib pads may be inserted under or over the Gel-to-Shell^® shields or used alone for lightweight protection on non-contact practice days.
