Abstract
A protective shoulder pad assembly for use in contact sports. The shoulder pad assembly includes a flexible vest, a pair of rigid shoulder pads attached to the vest, and a pair of straps extending from a back side of the vest. The straps can each be refastenably attached to a front side of the vest. In particular, the straps can be crossed over one another in an 'X' configuration on the front side of the vest, thereby directly securing each strap to both a front right portion and a front left portion of the vest.
