My son is entering his freshman year Hays High School in Texas. He started wearing a Vicis Zero2 Varsity Helmet last season and loved it. Went ahead and purchased hin a Vicis Zero2 Elite helmet for this season as well. We'll we had to pull the trigger on the Arc_V1 Elite Shoulder Pads. He said he loves the way the fite his upper body. He said he has full range of motion in them. He likes the way the pads look and feel. He rates the pads like he rates the helmets, 5-STARS!!
