Womens BodyShield Impact Sliders 2.0 - Padded Sliding Undershorts LLC

Our review of the Womens BodyShield Impact Sliders 2.0 finds them best suited for players who need targeted lower-body protection without sacrificing mobility. These padded undershorts use 3mm XRD impact padding to absorb impacts and reduce bruises and turf burn, and the form-fitting Poron XRD foam construction keeps the padding in place during tackles and slides. The thicker waistband and breathable, moisture-wicking fabric make them comfortable for extended practice or match play while still allowing full range of motion.

Key Features

• Impact absorption: 3mm XRD Extreme Impact padding absorbs up to 90% of impact to reduce bruises and contusions during sliding and tackling.
• Form-fitting comfort: Poron XRD foam and stretchy fabric deliver a snug fit that prevents bunching and keeps protection where you need it.
• Turf-burn resistance: Abrasion-resistant materials help prevent turf burn on thighs and hips when sliding on artificial surfaces.
• Breathable all-day play: Moisture and sweat-wicking materials promote airflow and reduce odor so you can stay comfortable through long sessions.
• Sun protection: UV-resistant fabric provides added protection for extended outdoor use.
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty nylon and spandex blend holds up to repeated machine washing and regular use.

Who It's For

The sliders are ideal for female soccer players, lacrosse goalies, and athletes in other heavy-duty sliding sports who want reliable thigh and hip protection while maintaining mobility. Players who layer protection under shorts or compression wear will appreciate the low-profile padding and secure fit.

These are less suited to athletes seeking full hip or tailbone protection beyond padded thigh panels, or to those who need removable or adjustable pads; the padding is integrated and designed specifically for lower-body sliding protection.
