Under Armour youth Gameday Pro 5-Pad Compression Girdle, NEW White, Size Medium, HeatGear with McDavid HEX pads

The Under Armour Gameday Pro 5-Pad Compression Girdle is a youth football baselayer that pairs HeatGear comfort with McDavid HEX protective pads for lightweight, breathable impact coverage.

Built for young players who need protection without bulk, this girdle blends UA HeatGear fabric and anatomically placed McDavid HEX pads into an ultra-tight compression fit. The design focuses padding where collisions happen while using stretch-mesh ventilation and moisture-wicking fibers to keep athletes dry and unrestricted during practice and games. With an 11.5" inseam and second-skin compression, it works as a base layer under pants or shells for reliable coverage and a streamlined silhouette.

How does the girdle protect during tackles and falls?

The Pro 5-Pad system uses McDavid HEX technology—small, honeycomb-patterned pads that flex with the body and absorb impact without creating bulk. Pads are anatomically contoured and placed at key contact zones to reduce abrasions and distribute force from hits. The pads are also waterproof and durable, so protection stays consistent in wet conditions.

• Five strategically located HEX pads for hips, tailbone and thighs
• Honeycomb construction that flexes with movement, not against it
• Waterproof padding retains protection in rain or snow

Will the compression fit feel restrictive during play?

This girdle is designed as ultra-tight, second-skin compression to support muscles and keep pads locked in place while allowing full athletic motion. HeatGear fabric combines polyester and spandex for secure compression that stretches with quick cuts and sprints. Mesh panels add targeted breathability so the fit feels snug but ventilated.

• 92% polyester / 8% spandex body for stretchy compression
• 87% polyester / 13% spandex mesh panels for ventilation
• Ultra-tight fit intended as a baselayer, not a loose short

How does it manage sweat and temperature on the field?

HeatGear fabric and UA’s moisture transport system move sweat away from skin and dry quickly to reduce cling and chill. Strategic stretch-mesh zones increase airflow during high-output drills so players stay cooler and more comfortable. The result is reduced distraction from moisture and better focus on performance.

• Moisture-wicking HeatGear material for faster evaporation
• Stretch-mesh ventilation in high-heat areas
• Lightweight construction that avoids trapping heat

What sizing and styling details should I know before choosing?

The girdle features an 11.5-inch inseam suited to most youth football kits and is intended to be worn as a compression baselayer under uniform pants. It offers a low-profile look that keeps protective padding invisible under shells while ensuring pads remain correctly positioned. Choose your usual compression size for a true second-skin feel.

• 11.5" inseam made for youth players and layering under pads
• Compression fit—order your compression/baselayer size for best results
• Neutral styling that pairs with any team uniform
