These boys sliding shorts include a cup pocket (cup included) and insert cup into the pocket for max protection. Constructed with moisture wicking four-way stretch fabric that moves with your body while eliminating sweat. These Youth Elite Slider Shorts provide great comfortable fit and protection while skating, running and crouching. The softer hand feel of our fabrics means zero to minimum skin irritation and less rashes. Our Protective Athletic Cup is designed to provide protection for boys who refuse to wear a hard athletic cup due to discomfort. Lined with a layer of soft foam and moisture-wicking fabric, the cup keeps your parts both comfy and cool and decreases the lightweight, which makes boys pay more attention to the game instead of fidgeting with uncomfortable gear. It has been field-tested and proven to absorb and disperse impact. This is a great substitute for traditional hard cup.
