The most accredited lacrosse chest protection available, now SEI Certified-Meets NOCSAE Standards. FDA issued an IFU claim for HART CC pads and the risk reduction of commotio cordis soon after a published peer-reviewed study by Tufts Medical Center that verified the effectiveness of HART pads. The Unequal FDA IFU Claim states: “When incorporated into a suitable garment and worn in accordance to instruction, the HART CC (commotio cordis) Pad device has been shown to reduce the mechanical impact received by the chest that may facilitate the reduction in risk of commotio cordis.” A published peer-reviewed study from Tufts Medical Center verified effectiveness of HART pads in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, March, 2016, “Development of a Chest Wall Protector Effective in Preventing Sudden Cardiac Death by Chest Wall Impact (commotio cordis)” Unequal's patented tech (utilizing aramid fiber, ImpacShield, Accelleron, and Airilon) allows us to do more with less when you compare us to the competition's rather bulky center pieces. With outstanding goalies like HOF Brian Dougherty and MVP Blaze Riorden supporting the launch of the new Unequal CC products, we think you will still feel extremely athletic as well as protected!
