Maverik MX EKG Lacrosse Shoulder Pad - All Questions

Marlyn,

Thanks for reaching out! The difference between the Maverik MX EKG and M5 EKG shoulder pads are that the MX are for players new to the game of lacrosse and the M5 are for more experienced lacrosse players. Hope this helps!

Great question! Yes, Maverik's MX EKG Lacrosse Shoulder Pads meet the new NOCSAE rules. The EKG in the name is for Maverik's External Kardiac Guard. Which protects against Commotio Cordis. If you are ever curious about pads meeting NOCSAE rules. There will be either stickers or like most chest protectors. There will be a tag labeling that that they are NOCSAE approved. NOCSAE red tag is labeled "EKG" and is located at the lower left oft the pad. Hope this helps!

Marlyn,

Thank you for reaching out! Maverik offers small, medium, and large in these shoulder pads. These are directed to the new lacrosse players. We have a great size chart with all these details under the "Size Chart" drop down where we break down each size by a players height and weight to determine what size shoulder pads they should buy.
