Buying new lacrosse shoulder pads

For the past few month's I'd been debating whether to purchase a set of lacrosse shoulder pads. It hadn’t been a problem playing without them. In fact the extra movement was great. No restrictive straps around my chest and arms. But I copped the biggest hit on the weekend and now I'm in the market!

Like I said, the unrestricted movement you get while not wearing them is great. But my collar bone was sore for about a week. I missed all the next weeks training and barely pulled up for the following game. I borrowed an old set of shoulder pads from a team mate and that got me through the game.
