Cramer Compression 5-Pad Football Girdle, White 2X-Large — Hip, Tailbone & Thigh Protection

The Cramer Classic 5-Pad Football Girdle is a compression-style integrated girdle with EVA hip and tailbone padding plus hard-plastic-backed thigh pads for on-field impact coverage.

Built from nearly a century of protective apparel experience, this Cramer girdle pairs snug compression fabric with purpose-placed padding so athletes can move freely while carrying lightweight protection. Designed for practices and games, the garment combines closed-cell foam and plastic-reinforced thigh pads within a moisture-managing polyester/spandex blend. Available in youth and adult sizes and finished in white, the Classic 5-Pad Girdle balances coverage, durability, and comfort for athletes who need streamlined protection under game pants.

How does the girdle protect hips, tailbone and thighs?

The girdle uses integrated closed-cell EVA foam for the hip and tailbone areas to absorb and disperse impact forces, while the thigh pads incorporate hard plastic inserts for localized abrasion resistance and extra impact resilience. Strategic pad placement helps protect the iliac crest at the top of the waistband and covers key contact zones without bulky external straps or pockets. Because the pads are built into the garment, they stay aligned with your body during movement.

• Closed-cell EVA foam at hips and tailbone for shock absorption
• Hard plastic interior in thigh pads for added surface protection
• Pads integrated directly into the fabric for stable positioning
• Hip pad positioned near waistband to shield the iliac crest

Will this girdle stay comfortable during long practices or games?

Comfort comes from the fabric mix and waistband design: a polyester/spandex blend provides compressive support while wicking moisture, and a spandex elastomer waistband helps keep the girdle seated without pinching. The material weight and stretch allow a full range of motion so the pads move with the athlete rather than against them. The result is a low-profile protective layer that reduces chafing and bunching under football pants.

• 85% polyester and 15% spandex for stretch and moisture management
• Spandex elastomer waistband for a secure, flexible fit
• Low-profile integrated pads reduce bulk and rubbing
• Designed for repeated use and machine care per label

How should I choose the right size and fit?

To find the correct size, consult the product sizing chart and measure around the hips and waist where the waistband will sit. The girdle is compressive—if you prefer a slightly looser feel, consider sizing up rather than down. Proper fit keeps pads over target areas (hip, thigh, tailbone) and prevents shifting during change-of-direction plays.

• Measure hips and waist at the waistband level before ordering
• Use the provided sizing chart image for exact conversions
• Choose a larger size for less compression or added underlayers
• Available in both youth and adult sizes; white color only

How does this girdle stand up to regular use and washing?

Cramer designed the Classic girdle with durable fabrics and integrated padding to withstand routine team use. The closed-cell EVA foam and plastic-backed thigh pads maintain shape through repeated cycles, while the polyester/spandex shell resists stretching out when cared for according to the label. Normal laundering on gentle cycles and air-drying will extend garment life and preserve pad position.

• Durable polyester/spandex blend resists wear and stretching
• Integrated pads designed to retain shape during repeated use
• Follow care instructions to protect foam and plastic inserts
• Constructed for season-long performance and practice demands

Who is this for: The Cramer Classic 5-Pad Girdle is ideal for football players seeking a streamlined, built-in protection solution—youth and adult athletes who want targeted hip, tailbone and thigh coverage without bulk. It suits players who prefer compression under their game pants and need reliable pad placement during contact situations. Coaches, equipment managers, and families looking for established, sport-specific protection from a legacy brand will find this girdle a practical option for practices and games.
