ThighPro XRD® Technology

What is XRD® Technology?
XRD® Technology is a high-performance impact protection material engineered specifically for repeated impacts. It's the same technology used in professional sports and military applications. ThighPro uses XRD® because it's simply the best protection available for the inner thigh.

How does XRD® Technology work?
XRD® Technology is soft and flexible during normal movement so you barely notice it's there. The moment something strikes it, the material stiffens and absorbs the impact, then immediately resets to its flexible state. Ready for the next hit.

How much impact does it absorb?
XRD® Technology absorbs up to 90% of impact force, hit after hit. Unlike standard foam padding, it doesn't flatten or lose effectiveness over time.

Does it affect mobility?
Not at all. XRD® Technology is thin enough to move with you naturally. Catchers can crouch, umpires can move laterally, and goalies can drop without any restriction. Most players forget it's on until they take a hit.

How is XRD® Technology  different from regular padding?
Standard foam compresses on impact and stays compressed. Over time it loses its protective properties entirely. XRD® Technology resets after every impact, maintaining consistent protection throughout the entire game and season after season.

Will it wear out?
Our pad won't quit on you. XRD® Technology is built to maintain its protective properties through heavy, repeated use. Far beyond what standard padding can offer.

Is XRD® Technology used in other industries?
Yes. XRD® Technology is trusted across professional sports, military, and law enforcement applications where consistent, reliable impact protection is non-negotiable.

Where is the XRD® Technology placed in ThighPro shorts?
The XRD® Technology sits on the front and inner thigh, the spot that takes the most impact for catchers, umpires, and lacrosse goalies. It's positioned precisely where foul balls, wild pitches, and unblocked shots land.
