Heart Guard / Gard Shirt (Free Shipping)

Heart-Gard Protective Body Shirt-Youth Grey

Help protect your kids and yourself from sometimes tragic and preventable injury. The Heart Gard shirt is the only heart guard shirt that has a hard protective surface to give that added extra protection needed. It has the only patent so all the others seem to be just foam.

Whether you purchase from us or somewhere else...please wear one. The little league community just suffered another loss of a 13 yr old boy who was hit in the chest.

High performance compression shirt with Heart-Gard sewn in. 80-85% Nylon/15-20% Lycra. Heart-Gard is a tough, high density polyethylene dome that absorbs impact energy and forces it away from the heart. It is small in size, measuring 6" x 6", yet covers this vital area. When worn with the compression shirt, it is virtually invisible and does not restrict movement. It is comfortable and cool, so kids forget they are wearing it. May not completely cover 100% of the vulnerable area on larger players.

THESE SHIRTS ARE SUPPOSED TO FIT VERY TIGHT LIKE A SECOND SECOND SKIN (TO KEEP THE HEART GUARD IN THE CORRECT POSITION)
