Built specifically for skill position athletes - quarterbacks, wide receivers, and defensive backs - these pads deliver elite-level protection without sacrificing the freedom of movement that skill players demand. At the core of the ARC_V1 Elite is VICIS' proprietary CURV™ arch material, a woven thermoplastic composite that sets a new standard for lightweight, high-impact protection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhat truly separates the ARC_V1 Elite from anything else on the market is its fully modular, customizable cushioning system. Athletes can dial in a personalized fit using the adjustable cap and dual-density foam system, while the Shift Belt ratchet strap allows quick micro-adjustments on the fly - during play or on the sidelines. An Elite backplate is included, and the moisture-impervious construction keeps the pad performing at its best through the full duration of every game and practice.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCURV™ Arch Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight base and external arches constructed from woven thermoplastic composite for advanced impact protection with minimal weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Cushioning System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Customizable on-site cushioning with air flow channels and an adjustable length cap for personalized fit and protection levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Density Foam:\u003c\/strong\u003e Axis fit system features dual-density impact and comfort foam in critical impact areas - a category-first innovation for unrivaled protection and feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShift Belt Ratchet Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy-to-use ratchet mechanism allows on-the-fly micro-adjustment during play and on the sidelines for a locked-in fit at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro-Motion Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Position-specific arch designs engineered to maximize range of motion for QB, WR, DB, and all skill position athletes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElite Backplate Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable Elite backplate is included with every set for added protection and position-ready performance out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-Impervious Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to resist moisture throughout the game, maintaining consistent fit and protection in all weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Tool Kit Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with a dedicated tool kit for making precise adjustments as part of the recommended fitting procedure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill-Position Cut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed exclusively for QB, WR, and DB athletes who need a low-profile, unrestricted pad that won't interfere with throwing or catching mechanics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium (17-18\" shoulder width):\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for skill players with a smaller frame.
