Nike Padded Goalkeeper Pant

The Nike Padded GK ($40) pant is typical of the genre.  The pants are polyester with padding at the hip and knee, stirrups, and drawstring waist.  The material provides some additional warmth for colder games, but still breathes enough for mild temperatures.

The padding is minimal and provides a bit of protection.  It is thicker at the hip than at the knee to reduce restriction of movement.  Unfortunately, the material over the padding tears after a few serious scrapes.  This can be patched, but these are really just one season pants.
