I have had Brine Rhino Skin for 3 years now. Rhino Skin is an excellent buy to say the least. As an attack man I need to be quick and agile. With big bulky pads I find it hard to be either of these two traits. Although these pads provide no protection what so everthey still are NCAA approved and legal to play with. I highly recommend these pads for people who don't really care when they get hit. The only down side of these pads are minimal protection, and the pads become quite hot when its nice out, the material used doesn't breath as well as they say it does. These pads are ideal for playing indoor lacrosse, or before the weather heats up. Once the weather heads up i recommend switching to the G-force shoulder pads.

Does the Rhino Skin protect from hits at all, either body checks or stick checks?
The Rhino Skin pads don't protect you at all. Its like wearing an extra shirt. Its really only meant for people who don't want any bulk at all from pads and don't mind getting cracked a few times. Your collar bone is also very vulnerable because most players take off the extra plastic shoulder pads. I'd recommend getting these for pre-season/winter ball then changing it up to some more breathable pads for hot spring games because Rhino Skin tends to heat up rather quickly.
