Alleson Athletic Youth Vortex Integrated Padded Football Girdle

It means the protective pads are permanently sewn directly into the fabric of the girdle. This eliminates the need to insert or remove separate pads, making it much easier to get dressed and ensuring the protection stays exactly where it needs to be during play.

The compression fit is designed to be snug, which helps with muscle support and keeps the pads secure against the body. Because it is a low-profile, streamlined garment, it is specifically engineered to fit comfortably under standard football pants without adding unnecessary bulk.

The fabric is designed to pull sweat away from the skin and move it to the surface of the garment where it can evaporate quickly. This helps keep the player feeling dry and comfortable, preventing the heavy, soaked feeling that can happen with standard cotton layers.

Since this is a compression-fit garment, it should fit snugly against the skin without restricting movement. We recommend measuring your player's waist and comparing it to the manufacturer's size chart to ensure the pads align correctly with their hips, thighs, and tailbone.

Yes, because the pads are integrated, you can wash the entire garment together. We recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying to maintain the integrity of the padding and the elasticity of the compression fabric.
