Anyone know if such a thing exists?
I heard the Wavesport Monolith had some padding but looks like it's out of production.

Hey Marshall, Get a lacrosse shoulder pad liner. It is a thin foam shoulder pad worn under the main shoulder pads for extra protection. This would probaly work OK. Check out Brine and STX as they are the major manufactures of lacrosse stuff. Hope this helps. Jim
shoulder pads?

The thriller jacket got me moist....
PeakUK makes a creeking drytop now that has removeable shoulder and elbow armor, I'll check out the LaCrosse pads too for a shorty top.
I'm trying to avoid more of this;

Ouch! That looks like my leg did after taking a swim on the Savage a few weeks ago, although it took a week for the bruise to surface. Hope that gets better soon. Jim

LAX or hockey pads might work but will be wet / cold at times. Go to a shop and try them on you might want youth large / adult mediums to keep them in tight but have the range of motion. Once you know the size then look at ebay, re-sale shops and ask friends for extra.
Now.... with that pix
we need a story to go along with it.
