A sliding short prevents painful abrasions and skin irritation that can occur quickly when sliding on artificial turf or dry surfaces. By wearing these shorts underneath your football shorts, you protect your thighs, hips and buttocks from direct contact with the field. In addition to protecting against scrapes, a sliding short also keeps your muscles warm during matches and training sessions. This can help reduce the risk of injury.
These shorts are ideal in changing weather conditions or when playing on hard surfaces. Because the design fits closely to the body, a sliding short is comfortable to wear under any football shorts without adding bulk. You’ll hardly notice it’s there, but you’ll feel the difference with every defensive move.
Snug fit with full range of motion
A sliding short should fit tightly to provide proper skin protection. At the same time, it needs to be flexible enough not to restrict your movement. Especially when turning sharply, sprinting or making technical moves, you don’t want to be limited by your base layer. Thanks to its stretch fabric, the short moves effortlessly with your body so you can play freely.
A good fit also ensures the short stays in place during slides and other intense movements. Additionally, a snug sliding short prevents friction between your skin and your football shorts. This adds extra comfort and protection during long play sessions.
Whether you’re a beginning youth player or training at a competitive level, a well-fitting sliding short is available for everyone. This category offers models in children's, women's and men's sizes. The sizing generally aligns with standard sportswear sizes. For kids, it’s sometimes wise to choose half a size up to allow room for growth. Adults can typically stick to their regular size.
When selecting the right size, it’s important to look at the waist measurement and the length of the leg. Shorts that are too loose offer less protection. A pair that’s too tight can reduce comfort. With the size chart on the product page, it’s easy to choose the perfect size for your body.
Breathable materials and durable finish
Most sliding shorts are made from fast-drying synthetic materials like polyester and elastane. These fabrics wick away sweat quickly and keep your skin dry even during intense activity. With their breathable qualities, the shorts remain comfortable to wear during long training sessions or in hot weather.
Moreover, you can count on strong seams and abrasion-resistant materials that stand up to repeated contact with artificial turf. Always follow the care instructions on the label to preserve the fabric’s lifespan. Wash cold and avoid the dryer to keep the sliding short in great condition even with frequent training or matches.
Brands and price ranges to choose from
This category includes sliding shorts from various brands specializing in football gear. Think of brands like Stanno, Robey and adidas, offering models across different price ranges. More basic models are usually more affordable but still provide good protection for occasional players and trainees.
The sliding shorts are available in different colors. Choose from a white sliding short, blue sliding short or black sliding short.
For players who train more intensively or often play on artificial turf, there are also more technically advanced models with added compression or reinforced zones. Offers are often available as well. This allows you to purchase higher-end models at a favorable price. That means there is a suitable sliding short for every budget and skill level without compromising on protection or comfort.
