J4K Pro Armour Junior Padded Goalkeeper Shorts
The J4K Pro Armour Junior Padded Goalkeeper Shorts are designed for young goalkeepers who need extra hip and thigh protection while keeping maximum freedom of movement during training and matches.
Junior goalkeepers repeatedly dive, slide and land on hard surfaces, especially when training on 3G and artificial pitches. These padded goalkeeper shorts feature strategically positioned protective padding around key impact areas to help cushion the hips and upper thighs during dives and hard landings.
The shorter design leaves the knees and lower legs completely free, making them ideal for young goalkeepers who want protection without the restriction of full-length padded goalkeeper trousers.
