EXTERNAL LAYER: Multiple overlapping Aridite® plates: “super lightweight, super flexible and super resilient, the Armadillo calf protector plates significantly reduce the risk of injury by diffusing impact energy. Impact energy is lost as friction between the Aridite® plates and dissipated in all directions
Technically, Aridite® is a silica microporous membrane: it's used because it’s tough, resilient, amazingly light and flexible, and brilliant at absorbing moisture then rapidly transporting it away.

INTERNAL LAYER: Trek-Dry®: soft against the skin, it quickly passes moisture through to the outer shell for fast dispersal – keeping the calf dry
Armadillo's calf protection is designed to function like a breathable second skin, shaping to the leg and remaining unnoticed for the wearer

FEATURES:
“A revolution in sports impact protection”: a critical technological development that looks set to become an essential part of the goalkeeper's armour. Armadillo Sports now launches its newly-developed and patented calf protection system, available with The Goalkeeper Company.
Approved and endorsed by the PFA; tested and accredited by SATRA (one of Europe’s leading test facilities for personal protection equipment and safety accreditation).
Ultra lightweight and flexible: as Armadillo promises, when we at The Goalkeeper Company tested the product, we almost instantly forgot it was there: zero adverse impact on on-field performance.
The logic is simple: huge numbers of players are put out of the game for long periods as a result of injuries that are sometimes avoidable. Thankfully, football body protection technology continues to develop at a rapid pace: 20 years ago, use of even cheap low quality shin pads was less common, but now very few players would risk taking to the field without top quality shin protection. Armadillo now brings protection of the lower leg to the next level
The goalkeeper is typically the most exposed and vulnerable player on the pitch. For the price of a couple of trips to the cinema, many keepers have decided that the risks of ignoring calf protection are too great to ignore

HOW TO WEAR:
The Armadillo protector is designed to be worn underneath a fully fitting sock and is positioned at the rear of the leg, covering the calves down to the Achilles tendon at ankle height
The calf protector is held securely in place by the elasticity of the sock. To further reduce the potential of any sliding or movement of the product during use, use ‘tie-ups’ or tape
