- • Not ideal for: Casual leisure wear when loose-fitting shorts are preferred
Light compression supports key muscle groups while 4-way stretch preserves mobility. Carbon fibre style panelling adds targeted protection in high-impact zones.
Enhanced muscle support – thanks to light compression fit
Compression fit uses a snug, form-hugging construction that applies gentle pressure to key muscle groups, aiming to stabilise muscles during rapid movements. The close fit reduces unwanted muscle oscillation through activity.
Reduced muscle vibration helps sustain performance during sprints and repeated efforts, helping young athletes stay sharper for longer. Recovery between sessions can feel less taxing thanks to the supportive fit.
Better moisture control and comfort – with TCA D.R.Y. sweat-wicking fabric
TCA D.R.Y. technology draws sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric where it can evaporate faster, helping to maintain a drier microclimate next to the skin. Breathable construction encourages airflow during intense activity.
Lower skin moisture reduces chafing and discomfort during PE and matches, keeping focus on performance. Quick-drying properties mean the shorts feel comfortable shortly after heavy exertion.
Targeted impact protection – with carbon fibre style panelling
Impact-resistant panels are positioned over high-contact zones and designed to absorb and distribute force, delivering up to 25% more protection in those areas according to the product description. The panels use a robust construction to resist abrasion.
Added protection reduces the risk of bruising during slides, tackles and falls, making the shorts better suited to contact sports. Reinforced panelling also increases durability for frequent use.
