Rhinoskin?

[brlacrosse50]

Hey-
I'm new to lacrosse and I need shoulder pads. I want good pads that will last and are protective, but moveble. I'm going to play attack. So how are the Brine Rhinoskins? Are they worth it? And I know this isnt the right room, but what about arm pads, and a helmet?
Thanks

I play middie and use the rhino's. I love 'em. great mobility and protection that rivals most, not all, but most of the shoulder pads on the market. One of the biggest benefits is that they can be easily washed, so they don't smell like death.

rhinoskin is great... they give decent protection and awesome mobility... they're the only shoulder pads i'll wear anymore

[MrTibs]

The ones on Great atlantic dont look like they provide that much protection. Hows the chest protection on those?

[brlacrosse50]

Thanks guys... but are there better pads out there? With better protection for a newcomer?
Just Wondering

I personally don't think you should spend like $100 on your first set of shoulder pads. I know kids that have been playing for a long time and use like $40 shoulder pads.

How are the Warrior Hitmans 5.0?

good, from what everyone says. THey felt a little stiff to me when I tried them on, but those were right out of the bag.

[brlacrosse50]

So what is better? Rhinoskin or Hitman's? Or is there a better pair out there?

Personally the rhino skins are pretty sweet, ive used em for 2 years and i play defense, i like them alot and i only got mine for $50 so its a good deal man, but i have the older model so idk i like em, go for it

If I played in the field I would wear them. They are nice and comfortable too.
