Padded shorts with a versatile design that can be easily used for various sports requiring protection: ice hockey, field hockey, handball. The protective gear from IBT features strategically placed foam blocks that divert the force of sudden impacts away from the body, providing thigh and groin protection without sacrificing mobility. The pads do not use non-elastic materials, allowing the player to move freely and unrestricted, unlike harder and typically heavier padding systems. The flexible design also allows for easy maintenance and cleaning while still offering protection during play.
