CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shoulder Pads

CCM Tacks XR80 Senior: structured upper-body hockey protection

The CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shoulder Pads are built for adult players who require comprehensive coverage through the chest, shoulders and back without unnecessary bulk.

Instead of relying on one uniform layer of padding, the design uses dedicated protective components across different anatomical zones. This creates targeted coverage for the areas most exposed during physical hockey.

JDP technology for shoulder impact management

The shoulders feature low-profile injected JDP caps combined with protective foam.

Joint Dispersion Protection is engineered to redirect impact energy away from the shoulder joint and into the surrounding protective structure.

This makes the shoulder caps a key component for players facing regular contact along the boards and in open ice.

Dual-layer PE chest construction

The front uses a dual-layer construction with PE foam to create substantial chest coverage while maintaining a relatively streamlined profile.

This design reinforces the torso without relying on excessive thickness throughout the entire protective unit.

Compression-moulded sternum protection

A compression-moulded plastic sternum guard reinforces the centre of the chest.

The ventilated construction provides structural protection around this exposed area while helping airflow through the front of the pads.

Reinforced spine coverage

The one-piece rear base panel incorporates a compression-moulded PE plastic spine guard.

Additional moulded foam across the rear panel extends coverage around the back, creating a protective structure suited to the demands of adult hockey.

Collarbone protection

PE and foam components provide dedicated coverage around the collarbones.

This helps bridge the gap between the chest protection and shoulder caps for more continuous coverage across the upper torso.

Adjustable upper-arm coverage

The biceps are protected by moulded plastic guards with protective foam.

Their position can be adjusted vertically to better match the player's arm length and create a more effective transition into the elbow pads.

This adjustment helps players customize coverage without unnecessarily restricting elbow movement.

Removable EVA belly guard

A lightweight EVA foam belly pad extends protection toward the waist.

It can be adjusted or removed to fine-tune the overlap between the shoulder pads and hockey pants according to player preference and body shape.

Secure strapping system

Wide elastic nylon straps secure the torso, while dedicated adjustable straps keep the bicep guards correctly positioned.

A properly adjusted system helps prevent protective components from shifting as the player skates, shoots or moves through contact.

Sublimated comfort liner

A sublimated polyester liner provides a comfortable interior finish throughout practices and games.

It complements the protective foam construction while creating a more comfortable interface between the player and the pads.

Designed for adult competitive hockey

The XR80 Senior brings together several forms of protection rather than relying on excessive bulk.

JDP technology manages shoulder impacts, moulded components reinforce the chest and spine, and adjustable bicep guards allow the upper-arm coverage to be customized.

Senior sizing guide

Use both chest circumference and player height when choosing shoulder pads. Correctly sized protection should cover the chest and shoulders without interfering with natural arm movement.

• Senior S: approx. 32.5–38.5 in chest / 5'2"–5'6" player height
• Senior M: approx. 34.5–42.5 in chest / 5'6"–5'10" player height
• Senior L: approx. 36–45 in chest / 5'10"–6'2" player height
• Senior XL: approx. 40–49.5 in chest / 6'+ player height

These measurements are guidelines. Player build and preferred level of coverage should also be considered when selecting a size.

Why choose CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shoulder Pads?

This protective setup is particularly relevant for adult players looking for structured chest and shoulder coverage with adjustable components.

JDP caps help manage forces around the shoulder joints, compression-moulded components reinforce the sternum and spine, and adjustable biceps allow players to optimize protection around the upper arms.

The result is a balanced combination of impact management, chest coverage, back protection and customizable fit for regular and competitive ice hockey.
