Previous Feedback
Comments: Pro's: Great fit. Very comfortable. Cup is excellent quality and jock support
is comfortable as well. Manufactured very well, built to last (pickup hockey twice a
week, no wear and tear for 6 months now). Im 6'4" 215lbs and bought an XL, fits
perfect. The movement is superb, no restrictions.
Cons: Biggest issue is pad protection. The padding is very thin, even though it does
cover all the necessary areas which is nice. This really shouldn't be your first line of
defense though. I would recommend using this as a padded jock underneath your
girdle. If you use in that regard you can't go wrong with Shockskin. The double layer
may be a little warmer than normal but, as a D-man, I'll take the extra protection.
Definitely recommend overall. Top end product.
