Does anyone know where i can get a pair of these.. Under Armour has a pair that are $30 which i consider highly overpriced.. but i suppose if i can't find a pair anywhere else then i may have to purchase them..
I just want compression shorts, with the pouch area to hold a protective cup.. any help would be great.
have you tried the internet?
:)
thank you cortez! hahaQuote:

so considering i assume EVERYONE who boxes on here has a guard, maybe even uses the shock doctor cup, that they may have experience with these products..
I think they are used in Karate and Kickboxing circles more than Boxing, but they seem to do the trick and are cheaper than a guard a lot cheaper ;D
try a specialty hockey store. not dick's. try doing a search for perani's hockey world.
thanks von..
i just found these
Shock Doctor BasiX Black Compression Short at International Jock Underwear & Swimwear
and purchased them.. seem to be the best ones out there.. nothing is really cheaper than those either..
I cannot express my frustration that you would deem $30.00 expensive.
There is no piece of equipment over here for less than €50.00, nothing!
Thats roughly $75.00!
Everlast.com do a few compression shorts also I believe.
I got these guys for $55.... full grain leather, the Grant quality and name, etc.
Very reasonably priced. :)

I wear a combo kidney protector, jock. Is this just the short with the cup, or what is it? Is it better? I mean, I got my protection for cheap from my club. I think was only about $35 and I know I get uber cheap deals but, help a brotha out...
Compression shorts are often used by the MMA guys to avoid injury to the groin, hips, upper thigh etc.Quote:

I'm not going to wear a cup anymore, I took a few bad shots that very extremely painful, so its time to invest in a top class protector.
