The Z-Cool system uses waterproof foam beads that allow air to circulate through the padding, accelerating sweat evaporation to help regulate body temperature during practices and games. Brock Foam absorbs energy by distributing impact forces across thousands of tiny beads, reducing the force transferred to the body. The ZC7 Skill model features a streamlined profile for quarterbacks, receivers, and defensive backs who need full arm mobility. The ZC15 Multi-Position adds extended rear arches for greater coverage, fitting running backs, linebackers, tight ends, and defensive ends. The ZC55 OL/DL offers a deep, open neck design and streamlined arch cut for linemen who need unrestricted head and shoulder movement in the trenches.

All three models include SAS-TEC interior arch padding, rigid sternum protection, and the Pro-Loc epaulet design. For youth and JV programs, the J.V. Z-Cool 2.0 Shoulder Pad offers the same cooling technology in sizes for developing athletes.
