AXL Structural Shoulder Pads | Upgrade Your Carrier for Comfort and Performance

Long-Haul Comfort. Real-World Compatibility.

The AXL Structural Shoulder Pads aren’t just another layer of foam- they’re a mission upgrade. These load-bearing shoulder pads redistribute weight across your shoulders to eliminate hot spots, reduce fatigue, and keep your plate carrier ride dialed in, even under heavy kit.

Designed to fit nearly every top-tier carrier on the market, these pads add structure, improve plate position, and let you run longer with less strain. Integrated cable management and quick-release compatibility make them one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your setup.

Why We Love It

If you’ve ever felt your shoulders scream halfway through a loadout, you already know why these matter. The AXL Structural Pads don’t just add comfort... they give your kit the upgrade it needs to perform under real-world pressure.
