The Schutt Flex Youth Rib Protector is built to give younger players increased rib and torso protection designed specifically for use with Schutt Flex Youth Shoulder Pads. As part of a complete youth protective setup, this rib protector is engineered to integrate seamlessly with a player's existing pads rather than function as a bulky standalone add-on, giving young athletes coverage that stays out of the way of natural movement.
A coated belt connection securely links the rib protector to a player's shoulder pad setup, while multi-height adjustment allows it to be positioned correctly for a growing athlete's body. Inside, a breathable cushion system uses dual density cushioning to help absorb impact while maintaining airflow to keep young players comfortable through practices and games. Attachment hardware is included, making it straightforward to add to an existing Schutt Flex Youth setup, and an antimicrobial treatment helps manage odor buildup through a full season of use.
Finished with a team and custom decal area, the Schutt Flex Youth Rib Protector allows for further personalization to match team colors and branding. Whether adding extra coverage for a quarterback or any skill position player who wants more torso protection, this rib protector delivers a low-profile, comfortable fit built specifically for the demands of youth football.
