Last October in the last game of the season, I suffered a punctured lung along with a couple of cracked ribs while playing Gaelic football for my club Erin Go Bragh. I got a kick in the ribs while blocking a ball and it left
me in hospital for a nearly a week.
I was wary about coming back to play again so I searched on the net for rib protection and i found Evoshield rib protector. I am delighted i found this product as hitting and tackling is a big part of my game. It really gives me the confidence to jump into tackles without fear of ending up with another punctured lung. It is lightweight and also moulds to the shape of my body for a perfect fit. Not only does it give me awesome protection but it gives me confidence and peace of mind as well.

I would recommend Evoshield to anybody playing contact sports.

Thought I would post my personal recommendation for Evoshield and their products.

Last year I broke my left forearm, both bones with straight fractures lead to 2 plates and 13 screws to get it back to its normal shape and strength. While I recovered I was left on the side lines waiting for the day I could return to play with my local hockey team. I played one match and set myself back, it also alerted me that I needed extra protection for this type of injury. But could I find anything that would help protect both sides of my arm but be light enough to play with still?

I came across Evoshield Ireland and after an email and a very friendly phonecall I placed my order for the 2 products I needed. The advantage that Evosheild had was awesome ability to mold it to customise my own protection for my arm. I was using small to medium sized shin guards, one on one side and leaving that one on mold the other on top. Then with the sleeve over I tried a few swings and still had my full movement.

I played my first match on Saturday past there and played like I never left, but with the added confidence that my game didn't have to change because I knew I had brilliant protection that would see me through a collision with someone or something. I cant recommend it enough and the diverse use the molding ability gives it just fantastic. The price of it all really sealed the deal for me. I'm not going to make a career from hockey so the price suited me perfectly to get me back to it.

Here's a picture of both the guards on (No Sleeve though!) just after being set. Brilliant!

Jan 2012 (Fore-arm protection)

I badly broke both bones of my fore arm at the start of last year with my club Carrigtwohill and was told I would be out for the season. After five months I purchased the evoshield customised forearm guard and the compression arm sleeve. As it can be moulded onto the arm it fitted perfectly and gave unbeatable protection and gave me the confidence to return to training. Within a month I was back playing and part of the Carrigtwohill team to win its first senior club championship in Cork in 93 years and participate in the Munster club Championship. It is light weight, highly durable and impact resistant. It is so comfortable you do not realise you are wearing it from day one. I would highly recommend this guard to anyone who has suffered a fore arm break and wish to return to sport with full confidence knowing they are fully protected.

4-Oct-2011 (Thumb Guard)

I was suffereing with severe swelling and bruising around my thumb and was finding it difficult to grip my hurl with both hands. Upon impact my injured thumb would slide off my hurl resulting in severe pain and a poor strike. With the evoshield thumb guard I found that I had no problem gripping the hurl and my hand did not release upon striking the sliothar. The shield also withstood any belts from opponent's hurls which allowed me to play pain-free for the entire game. Great credit must go to you for innovating such a user-friendly, affordable and effective item of sports equipment.

With thanks,

Michael Verney (Birr hurler).

August 2011 (A100 Chest protector, Modified to protect the abdomen also)

My son Jack was born with kidney failure. He had his 2 kidneys removed in the first 6 months of life and was put on dialysis for 2 years. My Wife Cassandra donated her kidney to jack, which had to be located in his abdomen when Jack was 2 1/2 years old.

Jack is 8 years old now and doing brilliantly. He is obsessed with sports mainly gaelic football and soccer. His doctor has told him he must wear protective padding for any contact sports. Jack plays for the under 10 Navan O'Mahonys team and has found the custom fitted evoshield guard to provide the perfect protection for his abdomen and chest area.I will forward a photo of jack with his evoshield guard on over weekend.Thanks for all your help

Regards, Wayne, Navan, Co Meath.

As a parent there is nothing harder than watching your child suffer through a preventable sports injury. As a goalkeeper our son has received multiple injuries. Most recently broken ribs at soccer practice. So we purchased a chest and rib protector for our son. What a difference, not only does it provide excellent protection, his confidence has risen tremendously. What a great product. Our son will be wearing his chest protector for the rest of his sports career.

SEPT 15, 2010 (ChestRib)

Story... My son, who is now 10, was born with missing ribs on one side and multiple vertebral malformations which cause severe scoliosis. …The EVO shield suited our needs perfectly, not only because it covered the areas we were most concerned with, but also because it was moldable and could be formed into my son's unique shape. My son liked the protector because it was "cool" and not as bulky as a previous hard body "brace" that had been custom made for him. It also wasn't as obvious underneath his clothing, and was actually comfortable... During the season, the shield proved valuable, as my son got hit from a wild pitches..., he may be back this coming spring... If so, we will certainly look into a new EVO for him... My son is never going to be a professional athelete, but your product provided us with security, relief, and confidence -- and it enabled my son to play safely... That's all that we ask and hope for...

May 31, 2008 - Shooting recoil vest

As promised, here are my thoughts on the Evo-Shield Shooting Shirt.

In our 2007 Argentina trip, I fired 3,175 rounds killing a total of 2,045 doves. On that second day hunt I shot 1,573 birds and fired a total of 2,475 rounds. My shoulder, as demonstrated by the picture I sent previously, was mildly separated and significantly scabbed over from the recoil impact and the abrasive nature of the gun moving against the shirt. The last day (our final half day session) I shot 35% and fired less than 300 rounds. I could not effectively use one of the foam style shooting pads so I did not use any protection at all. The shoulder fatigue from the previous day was obviously significant and I did not compete for any notoriety or records within my group.

I just returned from our 2008 Cordoba expedition with significantly improved results. Over two and a half days I fired 4,425 rounds, killing 2,944 birds. The Evo-Shield shirt performed better than I could have expected and the picture I will send you shows the result of an undamaged shoulder. The most impressive statistic is the last day shooting results; I killed 1,519 doves on the last day while firing 2,325 cartridges. In the final half day session I shot over 73%, killing 639 birds on 875 rounds. The lack of shoulder fatigue and pain allowed me the ability to shoot all the way through my trip and I won the pot within our group for highest percentage kill ratio. It was a tremendous return on a very small investment and it made my trip so much more enjoyable than the previous year.

Thanks for turning me on to this great product. Take care.

I will assemble the other comments from the guys on opportunities for the shirt.

May, 2010 (Rib guards) My Own Story from the Naomh Brid Website

http://www.naomhbrid.com/EVOSHIELD_IRELAND.htm ( St Brigids news Offaly )

I suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs along with other injuries in a car accident a few years ago, I was almost 18. before that I was playing gaelic football for my club and my county underage.It took me over a year to recover to a level where i could play again but i was always minding the injury as it was unprotected . I am 29 now and im still playing football on a regular basis with my local club and i have a great love for playing the game .Last year i came out the wrong end of a clash playing a football match and had to be brought to hospital.xrays showed i had broken ribs again.After months of bone scans and consultations with some of the top sports doctors in Ireland I was told my rib had healed wrong and there was a gap left in the bone.They considered operating but it was so close to the lung they advised against it.They suggested that i take some nerve pain injections and retire early from football. I went in search for a rib guard,all the rib guards out there are either too soft,too bulky or not supportive enough for my injury.The evoshield rib guard system is a comfortable,slim, custom moulded rib protector that hardens like a splint to your body shape after fitting.Its shock dispersion technology means that I can take a full bang to the ribs and barely feel it .This amazing product has given me a few more years playing football. Evoshield is now part of my gear bag as an injury protector but it is a pity that i cant turn back time and wear it as an injury preventer. Take my advice if you or your kids are playing a contact sport make Evoshield a part of your gear bag.
