Suspenders, crotch protectors
crotch protectors on offer at SportanoSuspensors, also known as crotch protectors, are a key piece of equipment for any athlete involved in combat sports. Whether you train boxing, MMA, taekwondo or jiu-jitsu, a crotch protector is an indispensable tool that guarantees safety in one of the most sensitive areas of the body. In combat sports, where unexpected blows are the norm, proper protection is key to avoiding serious injury and enabling long-term practice.
At Sportano you will find professional suspensors, crotch protectors from renowned brands such as Venum, Everlast, Ringhorns and RDX.Construction and characteristics of suspensorsThe suspensor, also known as a crotch protector, is one of the most essential pieces of equipment in combat sports, providing protection for one of the most sensitive parts of an athlete's body. Its design, although seemingly simple, is the result of advanced research and innovation aimed at providing both effective protection and comfort.
The main shield of the protector is the heart of any suspensory. It is usually an oval or rectangular piece, made of a tough but lightweight material - usually plastic or metal. This shield is designed to dissipate the energy of an impact, thus preventing direct damage to the sensitive areas of the crotch. In order to fulfil its role, the shield must be sufficiently hard and durable, but at the same time not cause discomfort to the wearer.
The inner padding is another key element. It consists of a soft material that adapts to the shape of the body and provides additional cushioning during impact. This can be foam, gel or other comfort material. This is particularly important in sports where the intensity of movement and frequency of contact with the opponent is high.
Bands and straps are the components that hold the protector in place. They need to be strong and flexible in order to adapt to different body shapes and keep the protector stable during movement. They are often fitted with adjustable fasteners that allow them to be customised in length.
Some advanced suspensor models may also include additional features such as ventilation or cooling systems to improve wearing comfort, especially during prolonged training sessions or competitions.
The construction of suspenders, although it may seem simple, is the result of a combination of innovative technology and traditional manufacturing methods. As a result, the crotch protectors are effective in protecting against injury, while providing comfort and freedom of movement during training.Materials used in the production of suspensorsWhen it comes to the production of suspensors, the choice of the right material is crucial not only for the performance of the protector, but also for the comfort and durability of the product. Manufacturers use a variety of materials that aim to meet specific safety and functional requirements, while also taking care of the environment.
Hard shell: the main part of the suspensory, which is responsible for protection, is the hard shell. It is most often made of high-quality plastics such as polycarbonate or polyethylene. These materials are extremely impact resistant and have excellent energy dissipation properties, which is key to providing optimal protection. In some models of suspensory designed for top-level athletes, the hard shell can be made of durable metals such as titanium, further increasing the level of protection.
Internal padding: the comfort of wearing the suspensory is just as important as its protective function. This is why the inner surfaces of suspensories are often padded with soft foam, gel or other cushioning materials. These materials help to dissipate the force of impact, minimising the risk of injury and irritation.
Elastic straps: to ensure that the suspensor stays in place, it is usually fitted with elastic straps. The most commonly used material for these is flexible latex or synthetic equivalents, which offer adequate flexibility and strength.
Antimicrobial and antifungal technologies: due to the close contact with the body and the potentially damp environment in which it is worn, the suspensory can become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. To prevent this, many modern suspensories are made from materials containing antibacterial and antifungal technologies to help maintain hygiene and wearing comfort.
The choice of materials used in the manufacture of suspensors is a combination of innovative technologies and traditional methods to ensure maximum protection, comfort and durability of the product. Regardless of the materials used, it is important that the suspensor is checked regularly and replaced as necessary to ensure reliable protection in any situation.
