Does anyone know where I may be able to find a vest with protective shoulder pads? I`ve dislocated a shoulder two years ago and skipped last snowboarding season while rebuilding the shoulder. I guess I`m ready for the slopes again, but prefer to do so with proper gear. Let me know if you know of manufacturers that sell this kind of stuff.

and elbow pads, plus back and chest protectors. I wear it underneath a long sleeve t-shirt or a jacket, depending on the weather. Could easily be used on the slopes. It`s not cheap though.
I know Pro-tec do something similar for a cheaper cost, but I only saw that afterwards.
MX makers are probably a good place to start generally.

are pretty lightweight and offer good protection against hard slams to the shoulder either from collision or impact on the ice or in this case, snow.
You should be able to find something suitable for an acceptable price.
Couple of links: http://www.hockeyguys.com/shoulder.asp http://www.skate-buys.com/hocshoulpad.html http://www.sportsdepot.com/hkyshoulder.html http://www.hockeygiant.com
I`ve never done business with any of the online retailers linked above so don`t construe this as a recommendation for them. I`m providing the links so you can browse a bit and see what`s available and what pricing looks like.

A friend of mine uses motorcycle body armour. It has a sort of armadillo spine protector and shoulder pads. It seems to be fairly comfortable to ride in and doesn`t restrict your movement. Could be worth checking out.
