VICIS has earned a reputation as one of the most innovative brands in football equipment, and the ARC_V1 Elite is the culmination of that engineering philosophy applied to shoulder pads. The modular fit system means that even as athletes change or grow across a season, the pads can be reconfigured to maintain an ideal fit without buying new equipment. Verified buyers describe these pads as feeling like they \"become part of his body,\" with a full range of motion that traditional bulky pads simply cannot offer. For coaches and equipment managers outfitting linemen at any level of competition, the ARC_V1 Elite delivers best-in-class impact protection with a comfort profile that keeps players focused on the game - not their gear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOL, DL, DE - Trench cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShell Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoven thermoplastic composite (CURV-type)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCushioning System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModular, dual-density impact and comfort foam with air flow channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFit System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustomizable axis fit system with adjustable-length cap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdjustment Mechanism\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShift Belt ratchet strap for on-the-fly micro-adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMoisture Resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture-impervious design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBackplate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVICIS backplate included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize - Large\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder width up to 19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize - X-Large\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder width 19-20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize - 2X-Large\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder width 20-21\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize - 3X-Large\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder width 21-22\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTool Kit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecial adjustment tool kit included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecific fitting procedures required; how-to video library available from VICIS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9950207\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat positions is the Trench cut designed for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Trench cut is specifically designed for players on the line of scrimmage - offensive linemen (OL), defensive linemen (DL), defensive ends (DE), and any other trench positions.
