The Nike Pro Hyperstrong 5-Pad Football Girdle is a compression base layer with five integrated pads — hardplate thigh protection on both legs, plus contoured foam at the hips and tailbone. Designed to wear under football pants, the short-length compression fit keeps all pads locked in position without bunching or shifting. Flat seam construction reduces chafing during extended wear under pants and pads. Meets NFHS padding requirements for hip, thigh, and tailbone protection in organized high school and college play. Designed for all positions — linemen and linebackers benefit from hardplate thigh coverage in contact situations, while skill position players (receivers, DBs, running backs) get full hip and thigh protection in a compression fit that doesn't restrict cutting or route running.
