Do you have a sports fan in your house as I do? My boys are so active in all the sports it seems like we never have any downtime or an “off” season. My nine-year-old just wrapped up football a few weeks ago and now both my boys are in 2 different basketball leagues, which means 4 games and 4 practices a week! And now we are already having parent meetings for baseball. So when I was contacted by EvoShield, I was excited to be able to work with them for sports gear for the kids.

EvoShields Goal: To make protective comfortable gear that would make athletes faster and stronger while protecting them better.

I received several great products for baseball and football from EvoShield: 

 

Men’s Hybridpro FB Girdle

I got these a size bigger so my son can fit into them next season. They are very lightweight and very soft on the skin. The shields come in a separate foil pouch, that once open active with the air to create a custom fit. The shields start off gel-like then slowly harden to form to the body.

This Girdle features sweat-wicking performance fabric, built-in Nanocell protective tail and hip pads, and EvoShield’s signature custom-molding Gel-to-Shell™ (GTS) Thigh Guards. The GTS Shields custom form to the athlete’s thighs and disperse impact to protect better than traditional foam thigh guards. Simply remove the Shields from the foil bag to air activate the custom-molding process.

Men’s Compression Baseball Slider

I received this for my oldest son who plays baseball. These are different than other slider pants he has had in that they offer the reinforced abrasion fabric on the sides, for extra protection.

This lightweight Slider features EvoShield’s patented fabric to keep you cool, dry, and comfortable. EvoShield’s unique abrasion arrow design allows each abrasion pad to independently stretch and move with the rest of the lower body. A double-layered mesh cup pocket holds the cup securely in place while providing ventilation and increasing breathability.

 

Youth Rib Shirt

This I received for my nine-year-old. I ordered a youth XL and boy is it small, so small it fits my five-year-old. My nine-year-old could not even put it on. This is a compression shirt so keep that in mind when ordering. Plus once you get the pads in you will need a bit of room as well. I would almost have to go with a men’s L for him to be able to fit into it. He really could have used this last year for ball. They are really starting to be aggressive when playing and during practice. I do worry about him getting injured and knowing that I have my baby with a bit more cushion where it counts makes it feel a bit, but not by that much better! This shirt offers the same Gel-to-Shell Technology that comes in the girdle, it transforms the soft gel pads into a protective shield in minutes. Just remove the shields from the foil bag to air activate the custom-molding process.

EvoShield’s signature Rib Shirt offers super thin, high-impact protection for the ribs. The custom-molding Shields are inserted into the shirt’s pockets for superior protection, speed, and comfort.

Batting Gloves 

These are for my oldest who just loves baseball. He is growing so fast, he is already taller than I am and he is only thirteen! Every year we have to buy him new equipment and gear for is sports. These gloves look and feel totally different than the ones that we have purchased for him in the past. This too has the custom-molding pad that begins soft and flexible and transforms into a hard and protective Shield in minutes.

EvoShield’s ProStyle Batting Gloves feature seamless PowerStretch fabric and premium grade Pittards® leather with an exclusive EvoShield grip pattern, giving you the ultimate in grip, feel, and flexibility. For the protection of your lead hand, EvoShield’s signature thin, custom-molding hand Shield slides into a hidden interior pocket and custom molds to the back of the hand in minutes.
