Evolution 1 Chest/Shoulder Protector Black

International-level chest and shoulder protection designed for mobility-first goalkeepers.

The Mercian Evolution 1 Chest/Shoulder Protector delivers Level 5 (International) protection in a design built around flexibility and functionality. Where the Evo Pro pairs with full arms, the Evolution 1 is designed to link with lightweight armguards — giving goalkeepers who prioritise agility and movement the confidence of top-tier protection without the bulk of a full body armor unit.

Dual density foam with a plastic plate overlay handles impact across the chest and shoulders, while the removable foam inner and bicep caps allow the protector to adapt to indoor play or high-heat conditions where reducing weight matters.
