Know before you buy
Yes, the Maverik Charger 2.0 is fully compliant with the NOCSAE ND200 performance standard, which is the current requirement for chest protection in youth lacrosse.
The external cardiac guard is a specialized piece of equipment designed to help protect against commotio cordis, a rare but serious heart injury. It adds a crucial layer of impact management directly over the chest area without adding unnecessary bulk.
Not at all. The Charger 2.0 is specifically engineered for developing players, focusing on a lightweight, streamlined profile that prioritizes mobility so young athletes can move naturally on the field.
This pad is designed specifically for the youth category. Because fit is critical for safety, we recommend checking the manufacturer's size chart against your player's chest measurements to ensure the protective elements sit in the correct position.
This model balances protection with a focus on range of motion. By using a streamlined design, it avoids the stiff, restrictive feel of older or heavier pads, allowing players to maintain proper form during stick handling and shooting.
