PRO COMBAT: GO ON THE OFFENSIVE

Football gear usually has one of two purposes – help protect you better, or help you perform better – but rarely does a piece of gear do both. That’s what so remarkable about Nike’s new Pro Combat line of football gear. For the first time, a compression short is able to provide all the performance benefits you look for – things like sweat-wicking, targeted support and ergonomic design – with a level of protection that can stand up to the punishing nature of today’s game. What that means is that ball carriers now have a compression short that doesn’t have to sacrifice performance for protection, or vice versa.

From the first time you put on a pair of Pro Combat, you’ll know they’re a game changer. Every pad is positioned to allow for the maximum level of flexibility and movement, allowing you to cut and slash with complete freedom, and still squeeze through the smallest holes in the line. Pro Combat’s Dri-FIT fabric will also wick away moisture and provide exceptional air permeability, all while retaining a perfect fit and a supported, comfortable feel. To achieve superior protection, the shorts feature solid plastic plates that lock into dual-density EVA foam, the very latest in impact protection technology. There are also interlocking foam grids that add a second layer impact coverage.

Wear Pro Combat next time you take the gridiron and you’ll see – your lower body is going to stay cooler, dryer and more protected from the first snap to the final whistle, and you’re going to significantly reduce the amount of wear and tear on your hips and legs.

The season will be here before you know it. Time to get yourself ready for combat.
