Goalkeeper pants for kids
Function of Goalkeeper Shorts
As a goalkeeper, you make various movements to keep the ball out of the goal. A dive or slide can cause unpleasant abrasions or bruises. The main function of goalkeeper shorts is to protect your body. Goalkeeper shorts come in different lengths. Long goalkeeper shorts have padding at the hips and knees, providing protection at these areas against injuries. Short goalkeeper shorts also offer protection, but only at the hips.
Dry and at the Right Temperature
As a goalkeeper, sometimes you are standing still, while other times you are moving a lot. In both situations, your body must stay at the right temperature. Goalkeeper shorts are made from materials that wick moisture away. This keeps your body dry even when standing still, and helps maintain your body temperature. Cold muscles are more susceptible to injury than warm muscles. Therefore, you should not cool down during training or a match. The right body temperature lowers the risk of injuries.
Most shorts are made from polyester. Polyester is light, strong, and retains its shape well. It is also good at wicking away moisture.
Tip
To enjoy your goalkeeper shorts for as long as possible, it's important to wash them according to the care instructions. You can find these instructions on the label inside the shorts. Not following these instructions may cause the functional properties of the shorts to be lost.
