Shock Doctor Padded Boys Baseball Sliding Short, White, Youth Large

My son generally wears a size 10 in pants. The size L in the sliding shorts seem to fit him appropriately, while giving him some room to grow for next year. The shorts fit like boxer briefs on the legs and waist. There is a pocket sewn into the front where a sports cup can be placed (and stay put). The padding on the legs is quilted, but not bulky. It's wide enough on the thigh to allow for protection from some sliding error. Overall, the Shock Doctor sliding shorts have given my kiddo the confidence to continue to learn how to slide to safety.

These are a youth boy sliding short but I got them for my daughter to wear for softball. She is playing for her first time and wanted a sliding short. She hasn’t worn these yet but plans to have them as a spare pair. My daughter is a tomboy and didn’t seem to mind that these are made for a boy. I think these will be nice to have on because it seems they always end up sliding into home plate at some point in the game and sometimes multiple times. Any extra protection is good to have on to prevent any scrapes or bruises. My daughter is tough but she chooses to wear sliding shorts as extra support!
