Various protection

Explore the range of other handball protection

In the "Other Protection" category, you will find a wide selection of protective products designed to prevent injuries and provide extra support to your body during handball. This includes finger guards that protect joints from hyperextension, hip pads that absorb hard falls, shoulder protection to support recovering injuries, and rib or thigh protectors for physical contact. Compression sleeves and protective arm and leg sleeves also fall into this category. Their snug fit can help promote stability and muscle recovery.

These products are developed with the intensity of handball in mind. It is not just about protection, but also about comfort and freedom of movement. The right protection can help you keep playing with minor injuries or prevent early signs of strain. Whether you need extra support or just want to avoid discomfort, the range is suitable for every handball player.

Choose the right size and fit

A proper fit is essential for effective protection. Too tight means restricted movement, too loose and it loses functionality. When selecting, make sure to check the exact sizing per brand, often provided in a size chart. Measure your upper arm, thigh or hand circumference depending on the type of product, then compare with the chart to make the right choice.

Besides size, material also plays a major role. Stretchable fabrics such as neoprene or elastane offer both support and comfort. Breathable materials help wick away sweat quickly. This ensures that the protection remains comfortable and stays in place even during intense matches. Pay close attention to finishing and seams, especially if you play for long periods or have sensitive skin.

McDavid and Rehband specialize in compression and orthopedic support. McDavid in particular is widely used for preventive purposes or during rehabilitation.

Benefits and uses of other protection

Extra protection during handball can make all the difference in comfort, confidence and injury prevention. Especially in positions involving frequent jumping, pushing or stopping, added support around the shoulders, hips or ribs can reduce the risk of contact or fall injuries. These products can also help players returning from injury to regain their pace without overexerting themselves.

Real-world examples include finger protection for tendon overuse, hip protection for goalkeepers or players who often hit the floor, and compression sleeves to reduce muscle fatigue. These kinds of accessories may seem discreet, yet they provide immediate advantages under high physical stress or during quick game transitions.

Care and durability

Proper care extends the life of your protective gear and ensures it maintains its protective function. Most compression wear and sleeves can be washed at low temperatures with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry to preserve stretch and elasticity. Avoid using a dryer to prevent damage to materials like neoprene or foam.

It pays to regularly check for wear and tear, especially at the seams and stitching. This helps prevent the protection from loosening or shifting during play. By handling your protection gear with care, the product remains hygienic and comfortable, even after intensive use.
