Details

This guide introduces players to slide shorts padded undergarments that protect the hips, thighs, and groin area during movement. Players choose shorts that balance protection with mobility, selecting padding styles appropriate for turf or grass.

The tutorial explains how padding absorbs impacts from sliding into bunkers or kneeling on rough terrain. Fit testing involves bending, crouching, jogging, and performing short directional changes to ensure the padding stays in place.

Players avoid overly thick padding that restricts leg movement. Moisture wicking materials help reduce sweat buildup during long sessions.

After gameplay, slide shorts are rinsed and air dried to preserve padding structure.

Wearing slide shorts improves comfort, reduces bruising, and builds confidence in active movements.
