The Storelli Exoshield GK 3/4 Pants have quickly become known as the most effective, sleekest heavy-duty goalkeeper pants on the market. And the Storelli headquarters got inundated with players asking for a "matchday" version of the same pants. So this newest version of the GK 3/4 Pants has been optimized for players who prefer to play matches or practice with lighter padding, but without sacrificing protection to the thighs and knees. To protect the thighs, they feature hidden abrasion-resistant panels (totally incorporated in the sides of the pants.), as well as the same heavy-duty hidden knee pads to protect your knees from scrapes and cuts. The padding is so well hidden that your opponents will never know you are wearing ANY protection. Perfect for playing on unforgiving turf fields and in official matches, these pants work beautifully in conjunction with the BodyShield Sliding Shorts or the BodyShield GK Shorts.
