Under Armour Gameday Armour Pro 5-Pad Girdle White Large — Padded Compression with Welded HEX Protection

Under Armour Gameday Armour Pro 5-Pad Girdle is a padded compression short that delivers targeted hip, thigh, and tailbone protection with low-profile, welded HEX padding so you stay protected without bulk.

Built for competitive football players who need dependable padding under game pants, this UA girdle pairs compressive support with McDavid HEX technology to absorb impacts and keep pads locked in place. The design focuses on airflow, range of motion, and a lightweight feel so you can move freely through plays while adding protection where collisions happen most.

How does this girdle protect me without feeling bulky?

The Gameday Armour Pro uses slim, molded HEX padding grouped at hips, thighs and tail to disperse impact while staying thin against your body. Padding is welded to the fabric rather than sewn, which removes seams and reduces irritation under pants. Hard plate inserts over the thigh pads add extra defense on contact areas without substantially increasing size.

• McDavid HEX molded pads for low-profile impact absorption
• Welded pad construction for seamless comfort
• Hard thigh plate inserts for localized, reinforced protection

Will it stay put during plays and workouts?

Compression fit combined with 4-way stretch mesh keeps the girdle snug through dynamic movement so pads remain positioned on impact zones. The fabric’s engineered stretch moves with your hips and legs, reducing shifting when you sprint, cut, or tackle. UA’s moisture-managing finish also helps the fabric cling comfortably even when you sweat.

• Compressing silhouette to hold pads in place
• 4-way stretch mesh that tracks with multi-directional motion
• Sweat-wicking fabric to maintain fit during high-intensity play

How does the material handle sweat and durability?

The performance textile pulls moisture away from skin and dries rapidly to reduce sogginess and friction under pads. The mesh construction balances airflow with toughness, so repeated use and contact won’t quickly wear the shell down. Additionally, welded padding and lightweight, waterproof HEX elements resist water absorption and help the girdle hold up through seasons.

• Quick-dry, sweat-wicking material for comfort and reduced chafing
• Durable mesh build designed for frequent play and laundering
• Water-resistant HEX padding that stays light even when damp

How should I wear and care for this Under Armour girdle?

Wear the girdle as a base layer beneath football pants with the pads aligned to the hips, thighs and tailbone for full coverage. Turn inside out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or air dry to preserve the welded padding and fabric elasticity. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain moisture-wicking performance.

• Wear under game or practice pants with pads aligned to impact zones
• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle; tumble dry low or line dry
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to protect wicking and padding
