What is Shell Shock™ gel and how does it protect?

Shell Shock™ gel is RDX's shock-absorbing gel layer applied to the interior surface of the cup. On impact, the gel layer deforms to absorb and spread the force across the cup surface before it reaches the body. This is a significant improvement over a hard cup alone, which transfers force directly to the body on contact. The gel approach produces less bruising and discomfort from both direct hits and glancing strikes.

Is this a cup only, or does it include a supporter?

The 1N Gel Groin Cup is the cup insert only — it is designed to be placed into a compatible supporter, jockstrap, or groin protector with a cup pocket. The ergonomic design fits conveniently into standard athletic shorts with a cup pocket. If you need a complete unit, pair this cup with an RDX groin guard or jockstrap that includes a cup pocket.

What sports is this cup suitable for?

The 1N is suitable for any contact sport requiring groin protection: martial arts (boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, wrestling, karate, taekwondo, judo), as well as baseball and lacrosse where projectile or equipment contact is a risk. The tri-layered polycarbonate construction provides the rigidity required for full-contact disciplines, while the lightweight design keeps it comfortable for extended use.

What is the ventilation system and why does it matter?

The elevated polycarbonate ventilation system consists of perforated openings in the shell that allow air to circulate between the cup and the body. Without ventilation, prolonged wear causes excessive heat and moisture build-up in the groin area, which creates discomfort and potential skin irritation. The S.P.P™ airflow design positions these perforations to maximise the natural airflow that occurs during movement, keeping the area cooler throughout training.
