Goalkeeper trousers: the sale selection

What is a goalkeeper's trouser?

A goalkeeper trouser is a reinforced sports trouser at the hips, knees, and sometimes at the backside, designed for goalkeepers who dive and slide regularly on the ground. It is worn during training as well as matches, in the rain or cold, alongside shorts and protective gear. The models shown here cater to both adult and young goalkeepers, with different fits depending on the brand.

Which goalkeeper trouser brands are on sale?

The sales include goalkeeper trousers from several well-known brands for this role. You can find:

• Uhlsport, which comes in several fits (Standard, Essential, Anatomic Kevlar) offering different levels of padding and protection.
• Erima and Hummel, available in both children's and adult sizes.
• Macron and Errea, featuring 3/4 cuts designed for goalkeepers seeking more freedom of movement around the calf.
• Reusch, Jako, T1TAN, and Nike, with models for both adults and children depending on stock.

The availability of each brand and size depends on when you check the page, as sales focus on end-of-line items.

Long trousers or 3/4 trousers: which to choose?

The choice mainly depends on the feeling of freedom you want around the calf and ankle. Long trousers cover the entire leg and provide more protection during dives and falls on the ground, especially in cold weather. The 3/4 trouser leaves the lower leg exposed, which aids in stability and works well with pulled-up goalkeeper socks or specific protections. Both fits are available in adult and child sizes depending on the models available.

When can you take advantage of sales on goalkeeper trousers?

The prices on goalkeeper trousers fluctuate mainly during key times of the year. Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays often see the first markdowns on goalkeeper gear, followed by the winter sales, a period when adult and child sizes are most renewed. In spring, the French Days offer a new wave of deals, before the summer sales and then the new collections arrive. The Sales page lists all current promotions across the entire catalog, including goalkeepers.

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose the size of a children's goalkeeper trouser?

The size of a children's goalkeeper trouser is chosen by considering the child's age and build rather than just the number indicated by the brand. The fits vary from one brand to another, so it is useful to compare size charts from Erima, Hummel, Reusch, or Nike before finalising a purchase.

Can a goalkeeper trouser be used for both training and matches?

Yes, the trousers featured in this selection are suitable for both uses, with the difference mainly being in the level of padding and the cut chosen. A lightweight model is suitable for training, while a more protective cut provides more reassurance during matches on hard surfaces.

Should you wear protection in addition to a goalkeeper trouser?

The goalkeeper trouser already provides padding to the most exposed areas, but some goalkeepers add extra protection to the hips or knees for added safety. The protection page showcases these additional items.

Are 3/4 trousers suitable for cold weather?

A 3/4 trouser leaves the lower leg exposed, making it less suitable for cold than a long trouser. For winter training and matches, a long trouser or adding a goalkeeper baselayer under the gear remains a more comfortable option.

Where can you find cheap goalkeeper trousers during sales?
