When the goalkeeper is the only player on the pitch not running for 90 minutes, the cold sets in fast. The soccer goalkeeper pants keep the legs warm and protect the thigh and knee on every dive to the cold, hard winter turf. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these full-leg padded GK pants with EVA foam panels running down the outer thigh and wrapping the knee, in your team's FIFA-distinct goalkeeper colorway.
The soccer goalkeeper pants are the cold-weather, full-leg goalkeeper cut. distinct from the warm-weather goalkeeper shorts. The knit body is heavier than the GK shorts for cold-conditions warmth, with light-weight EVA foam padding that runs down the outer thigh and wraps the knee for impact protection on cold, hard winter turf. Full-leg construction with a tapered ankle, A-line drape through the thigh for diving range of motion. NO pockets (same FIFA rule), reinforced double-needle stitching at all stress seams. FIFA Law 4 requires the goalkeeper's outfit be visually distinguishable from the outfield kit and from match officials, so plan your GK colorway separately from the rest of the squad. Most clubs order both. GK shorts for the standard season, GK pants for the cold-weather rotation. Pair with the outfield crew-neck jersey for the rest of the squad and build the full soccer kit.
220 GSM heavier knit body with brushed inner face for cold-weather warmth, integrated EVA foam padding running down the outer thigh and wrapping the knee, full-leg cut with a tapered ankle. engineered for the diving, sliding, and cold-turf impact of winter-conditions goalkeeper match wear.
Padding: The padded panels are LIGHT-WEIGHT EVA foam inserts running down the outer thigh and wrapping the knee. soccer-GK-specific impact absorption, NOT heavy gym-padding. They protect the most exposed impact zones when a goalkeeper dives onto cold, hard winter turf. more coverage than the hip-only padding on the GK shorts. The foam is approximately 4-6 mm thick and contoured to the leg silhouette so it does not restrict diving or kicking range of motion.
FIFA colorway rule: FIFA Law 4 (Players' Equipment) requires the goalkeeper's outfit be visually distinguishable from both the outfield kit AND the match officials' kit. Plan your GK colorway separately from the rest of your squad. We recommend submitting a separate sublimation file for the GK pants with a distinct primary color, coordinated with your GK shorts and GK jersey.
Decoration on padded zones: Decoration on the FLAT front hip and lower-leg zones takes embroidery, tackle twill, and screen-printing cleanly. The PADDED thigh and knee panels are sublimation-only. foam inserts under the knit fabric do not hold dense embroidery or tackle-twill stitching. Sublimation across the padded zones shows a slight pillow-effect texture (industry-normal across padded sportswear).
No pockets: Same NO-POCKETS FIFA rule applies. The goalkeeper is still an outfield-rules player. The match-play regulation against pocketed lower garments extends from FIFA-rules competitions down through college, club, and amateur soccer worldwide.
Shorts vs pants: GK PANTS (cold-weather / winter) only. For the warm-weather and standard-conditions match-day GK cut, see the goalkeeper shorts (8-inch, hip-panel padding). Most clubs order both and rotate by season and conditions.
Sublimation handles full-leg decoration across the polyester knit body, including the padded thigh and knee zones (with a slight pillow-effect texture). Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the FLAT front hip and lower-leg zones. the padded thigh/knee panels and waistband do not hold dense stitching.
Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester fabric — graphics never crack, peel, or fade through 90-minute matches and sliding-tackle contact. Color-match your soccer jersey exactly for a coordinated kit.
Dimensional decoration restricted to the flat hip panel. The waistband and leg-opening hem are stretch zones — embroidery and tackle-twill stitches there pop as the fabric flexes during play. We can embroider a small front-hip crest with no issues.
Vibrant flat-color decoration on the smooth polyester body. Pricing varies by ink count; itemized in your quote. Holds cleanly across season-long match wear because soccer shorts don't have the extreme stretch of compression base layers.
US sizing labels in inches across men's, women's, and youth fits. UK / EU customers should add their preferred size convention in the quote — see the note below.
