These boys compression shorts include a cup pocket (cup not included) with the cup inserted into the pocket for maximum protection. Our protective sports cup is designed to provide protection for boys who refuse to wear a hard sports cup due to physical discomfort. This cup is lined with a layer of soft foam and hygroscopic fabric, making your body parts comfortable and cool, and reducing the weight, which makes boys pay more attention to the game rather than fiddling with uncomfortable equipment. After on-site testing, it has been proven that it can absorb and disperse impacts. Made of four-way elastic fabric that absorbs moisture and wicks sweat, the compression short moves with the body while wicking sweat. These boys' sports shorts provide a very comfortable fit and protection when skating, running, and squatting. Our fabric feels softer to the touch, which means it minimizes skin irritation and reduces rash.
