BaDS* Goalkeeper Compression Gear
The BaDS* (Back and Down System) range is Elite Sport's goalkeeper-specific compression protection line. Unlike standard compression shorts or leggings designed for running or gym use, BaDS* products incorporate anatomical padding at the zones most exposed to impact during goalkeeping: hips, thighs, and the lower back.
BaDS Compression Shorts — 7mm padding* — The higher-protection option in the range. 7mm foam padding at the hip and thigh zones provides substantial cushioning on diving saves and ground-contact situations. Suited for goalkeepers who train on hard surfaces, artificial turf, or who prioritise maximum impact protection during intensive work. Compression fit supports muscle activation and reduces fatigue.
BaDS Compression Shorts — 3mm padding* — A lighter-profile option for goalkeepers who want protection without the bulk of thicker foam. The 3mm pads provide meaningful protection on regular contact without the additional weight and heat retention of the 7mm version. Well-suited for natural grass surfaces or warmer conditions.
BaDS Compression Leggings* — Full-length compression with goalkeeper-specific padding across the hip and thigh zones. The legging format adds coverage to the knee and lower leg compared to the shorts, making them the choice for goalkeepers playing on abrasive surfaces or those recovering from lower-leg soft tissue issues who want compression support across a wider area.
Elite Sport Compression Leggings — Full-length compression leggings without the BaDS* padding system, focused on muscle support, temperature regulation, and recovery benefits. Suitable for use under goalkeeper shorts in cold conditions or as a standalone training layer.
Elite Sport Compression Shirt — Upper body compression for core stability, shoulder support, and warmth. Completes the compression system for goalkeepers who play in cold climates or want full-body compression support during extended training blocks.
Anti-Slip Goalkeeper Socks
One of the most underestimated pieces of goalkeeper equipment. Boot fit and foot stability are directly connected to ground confidence — a goalkeeper who feels their socks shifting inside their boots during a dive or sprint is a goalkeeper with a divided focus. Elite Sport anti-slip socks use a grip-pattern construction on the sole that anchors the sock inside the boot, eliminating the bunching and shifting that standard football socks allow.
Available in single pairs, two-pair, three-pair, and five-pair packs — making these a practical buy for goalkeepers who want a supply that covers a full training week. The five-pair pack (€64.95) represents the strongest value and is the recommended starting point for goalkeepers in full-time training.
