Intro & New Features

New for 2024 from CCM is the updated Tacks protective line. The Tacks Vector Premier shoulder pads are a Source for Sports exclusive pad that combines elite protective features and a more affordable price point. Features include Vent-Tech, ADPTFit, and a Flexmotion base jacket. The Vector Premier looks to offer premium protection with the traditional Tacks fit.

Shoulder Caps & Protection

The JDP-injected caps offer max protection and comfort. They are built to move and adjust with you to shield against impact, and their build works to disperse force away from the impact point for additional security.

Sternum Protection

The Tacks Vector Premier shoulder pads are equipped with multiple layers of protection over the torso and sternum. The Vent-Tech floating sternum provides both aeration and a high degree of coverage. The underlayer of the sternum is made of mesh for good breathability, and the middle layers incorporate molded HD foam in the construction. The front is covered with a molded MD EVA foam, Flexmotion base jacket with elite rib protection designed to contour around your torso.

Spine Protection

The spine is protected from impact force using the same plastic shields found in the sternum area. The Vent-Tech construction permits good airflow, so your back can keep cool and comfortable while you play.

Bicep Protection

The biceps on the Vector Premier can be adjusted in both length and width, allowing you to customize your fit for wherever you need bicep protection with its ADPTFit straps. Protective features in this area include an injected plastic guard and a foam bicep cushion.

Liner

The Vector Premier uses a sublimated liner and soft-feel front stretch panels for quality comfort and protection. The liners have been treated with an antimicrobial agent to keep you cool and dry, and the stretch feel panels have been engineered to move with you, ensuring that you are covered for the whole game.

Abdominal Protection Piece

The Vector Premier does come with a removable and adjustable abdominal protection piece, attached with velcro. This piece uses HD foam, as well as Vent-Tech technology to keep you cool. The Velcro adjustability covers a wide range, letting you decide how much of the pad you want to use.
