Buy Easton Youth Extra Protective Sliding Short

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 10 year old to replace his old, now too small Adidas and U.A. sliding shorts. I just bought another Adidas pair at Dick's too that doesn't have the padding of this product. I wanted this Easton pair because of the extra padding since my son is quick and his coaches have him steal often. First time he tried to use it, he told his mom he couldn't get the cup in. I figured he just couldn't push the rubber edge into the fabric pocket and I'd just have to work it in. However, I just tried too and found the cup pocket is only about 3 inches long and the top of the cup sticks up to the waistband, way over the top of the cup pocket, plus the bottom of the cup pocket stops about 2 inches above the crotch. In short, the cup pocket is absolutely useless. I think these would be great sliding shorts and the price is about $10+ less than similarly padded shorts at Dick's, but only if your son won't use a cup.

This was a good short, but I can't find a cup to fit in it. Everything is too big. Probably going to have to send back. Went to dick's sporting goods to try all the ones they sell. None of them worked.

I bought these sliding shorts for our baseball-playing son, who has removed the skin on his hip several times while sliding. Although I prefer Mizuno for his baseball pants, the only Mizuno sliding shorts I could find were through a private seller with a shipping fee. I decided to try these Easton shorts because I could get them in two days with Prime.

These fit true to size on our son he's thin and wears a youth medium. They fit close but not snug, which allows his pants to fit properly and keeps the shorts from sliding up. The padding on the thighs is adequate, but should have come just slightly higher up on his hips. We won't even try to use the cup pocket, since none of these shorts hold a hard cup in place well enough. He'll wear a separate jock and cup underneath the shorts. The waistband is wide and at a good level for comfort.

Overall these are decent shorts, but could have been awesome if the padding had gone higher up for better coverage.
