How to choose
- Materials and manufacturing technologies. In the production of protective shorts, appropriate materials and technologies are used for shock-absorbing inserts.Inserts are designed to be installed in the most vulnerable places. For some types of shorts, the maximum number of inserts is used, and for some, certain combinations of location. The basis for protective shorts is lycra, polyester or nylon mesh. As for the inserts, they are made of foamed polymer. It can be neoprene, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polyurethane.



- Child gender and age. If, depending on age, they are mainly guided by the size of the product, then for a boy and a girl, different zones are paramount. An important point for protecting the boy is the shock-absorbing inserts in the groin area. Shorts with groin protection should always be taken, regardless of the sport that the child plays.




- The size. Protective shorts should not hang freely from the child, therefore, when buying, fitting is a mandatory step in the selection. Protective shorts are not bought for growth. But since they are predominantly made to be very stretchy, as the child grows, the shorts can last quite a long time. However, dressing children in too tight shorts is also not worth it, otherwise you risk harming their health by disrupting normal blood circulation.


- Mandatory elements of protective shorts are pads made of soft materialslocated in the areas of the buttocks and coccyx. Like it or not, but the majority of children land just on the fifth point.



- Be sure to check the fitting process. Too big shorts will fall off and not really perform their protective functions. From too tight-fitting shorts, the child will quickly grow, so soon you will have to buy new ones.

Never let your child wear protective shorts after playing sports.If the body is at rest, be sure to take off your clothes immediately. Protective shorts are compression garments that squeeze the legs a little. Therefore, if you walk in them at rest, protection turns into a threat.


- Make sure the shorts are breathable. This will avoid excessive sweating and skin reaction to them.


It is recommended that you check with your doctor about whether your child can wear compression garments. Even the minimum degree of compression is contraindicated for some children.

You should also pay attention to the rigidity of the inserts.According to the degree of rigidity of the protective elements, there are two types of shorts for children:
- Soft. They are quite light, comfortable to wear and do not restrict movement. However, soft protection is not able to protect from all situations. When choosing soft protective shorts, make sure that polypropylene or soft rubber are used as shock-absorbing inserts. Fabric seal products are not certified protective clothing for children;

- Rigid. Shorts with a rigid protective layer usually involve the use of plastic inserts. With a slight fall, they can even deliver some discomfort to the child. However, their protective characteristics excel in more serious falls. Their structure and design make it possible to avoid fractures and dislocations. So that the child does not feel discomfort during light falls, make sure that the plastic elements are supplemented with softening layers.


If you have the opportunity, buy your child protective clothing based on innovative materials D30, EVO and the like. These are unique technologies that feel like chewing gum or soft plasticine to the touch.But upon impact, the material instantly hardens and retains its shape under severe loads. These shorts are a guarantee of the safety of your child.
