Skin Shield Padded Compression T-Shirt and Short Set
The Skin Shield Padded Compression T-Shirt and Short Set gives goalkeepers lightweight upper and lower-body protection without the extra material of long sleeves or padded pants.
Goalkeepers repeatedly dive, slide, block, smother and land on areas of the body that take far more impact than most outfield players experience.
On 3G, 4G, artificial turf, hard grass and worn goalmouths, repeated contact with the playing surface can lead to bruising, soreness, turf burns, grazes and scrapes.
By combining a padded compression T-shirt with padded goalkeeper shorts, this bundle helps protect important impact areas while giving the goalkeeper maximum freedom of movement.
Lightweight Goalkeeper Protection
The padded compression T-shirt helps provide additional protection around key upper-body impact areas, while the padded shorts help protect the hips and upper thighs.
Together, they help provide protection around:
- Chest
- Ribs
- Shoulders
- Upper torso
- Hips
- Upper thighs
- High-contact areas when diving and landing
- Areas regularly exposed to friction against the playing surface
This makes the set ideal for goalkeepers who want protection without wearing a long-sleeved jersey or longer padded pants.
Ideal For 3G, 4G & Artificial Pitches
Artificial football pitches are now part of normal goalkeeper training and match play.
Repeated diving on synthetic surfaces can cause friction burns, grazes and soreness. Protective goalkeeper clothing can provide an additional barrier between the body and the playing surface.
The padded T-shirt protects important upper-body areas while the padded shorts help protect the hips and upper thighs.
Maximum Freedom Of Movement
Some goalkeepers simply prefer less material.
The Skin Shield Padded Compression T-Shirt and Short Set is designed for keepers who want protection while keeping their arms, knees and lower legs completely free.
The close compression-style fit is designed to move naturally during:
- Diving
- Catching
- Punching
- Throwing
- Distribution
- Sprinting
- One-on-one saves
- Sliding
- Ground recovery
The Skin Shield principle remains simple:
Protect the goalkeeper without restricting the goalkeeper.
Protection Around The Chest, Ribs & Shoulders
Goalkeepers do not always land perfectly.
A specialist goalkeeper session can involve dozens of dives, with repeated impact through the chest, ribs and shoulders.
The padded compression T-shirt provides additional cushioning around these high-contact areas without the bulk of a traditional heavily padded goalkeeper jersey.
Padded Hip & Thigh Protection
Goalkeepers frequently land on their hips and upper thighs during:
- Collapse dives
- Low saves
- One-on-one blocks
- Sliding saves
- Smothering the ball
- Ground recovery
Repeated impact can create soreness and bruising, particularly on hard or artificial pitches.
The padded shorts provide additional protection around these areas while still leaving the knees and lower legs unrestricted.
Ideal For Goalkeeper Training
Specialist goalkeeper training involves repeated diving, landing, sliding, blocking, smothering and recovering from the ground.
That repeated contact can create soreness even when the goalkeeper is using good technique.
The Skin Shield Padded Compression T-Shirt and Short Set provides a lightweight additional protective layer during demanding goalkeeper sessions.
Suitable For Matches Too
The Skin Shield padded T-shirt and shorts can also be worn during competitive matches, subject to normal league and competition kit regulations.
This means goalkeepers can benefit from the same protection during match situations as they do during training.
Ideal For Warmer Conditions
One of the biggest benefits of the T-shirt and shorts combination is reduced coverage.
For goalkeepers training or playing in warmer weather, this bundle provides padding around important impact areas while keeping the arms and lower legs exposed.
This can make it a great choice for:
Summer training • indoor football • warmer climates • pre-season • artificial pitches • intensive goalkeeper sessions
Help Goalkeepers Commit To Their Saves
If a goalkeeper associates diving with painful landings, they can sometimes become hesitant.
Additional protection can help make repeated landings more comfortable, allowing the goalkeeper to concentrate more on:
- Diving technique
- Catching
- Shot stopping
- Positioning
- Confidence
- One-on-one situations
- Enjoying their goalkeeping
Perfect For Hard & Worn Grass
Artificial turf is not the only surface that creates problems.
Dry grass pitches and worn goalmouths can become hard, rough, compacted and uncomfortable to land on.
The Skin Shield padded T-shirt and shorts provide an additional protective layer around some of the areas most regularly exposed during diving.
