RDX 1R Gel Groin Cup – PolyGel Groin Protection for Boxing & Martial Arts

The RDX 1R Gel Groin Cup provides essential protection for male athletes in boxing, MMA, martial arts, wrestling, and other contact sports. HI-PC™ shock-resistant polycarbonate construction absorbs and disperses impacts, backed by a Shell-Shock™ gel polymer layer that spreads force evenly across the shell. PolyGel™ gel lining conforms to the body for a comfortable, secure fit during training and competition. The ergonomic design sits naturally in shorts without restricting movement, while the polycarbonate ventilation system and S.P.P™ strategically placed perforations keep airflow going during intense sessions.

• Shock-resistant HI-PC™ polycarbonate — maximum strength and protection against direct impacts
• Shell-Shock™ gel polymer for shock absorption and even force distribution
• Tri-layered lightweight construction for high impact resistance
• PolyGel™ gel lining for comfort and a body-conforming fit
• Polycarbonate ventilation system with S.P.P™ strategically placed perforations for maximum breathability
• Ergonomically designed groin guard for easy placement and unrestricted mobility

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wear a groin cup — do I need a jockstrap or compression shorts?

The RDX 1R is designed to fit into the cup pocket of a compression short or jockstrap. Most dedicated boxing/MMA shorts do not have a cup pocket, so you will wear compression shorts or a jockstrap underneath and place the cup inside. Always ensure the cup is positioned correctly before training — it should sit centred over the groin without shifting during movement.

Is a groin cup required for boxing or MMA training?

For sparring and competition, groin protection is mandatory in virtually all sanctioned boxing and MMA events. For general pad work and bag training, it is highly recommended as accidental impacts occur even in non-contact drills. Most gyms require groin cups for any contact training as a standard safety rule.

How do I clean a groin cup?

Wipe the polycarbonate shell with a damp cloth and mild antibacterial soap after each session. Allow to air dry fully before storing. If the gel lining is removable, follow the specific care instructions included. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the polycarbonate or gel materials.

What size groin cup do I need?

The RDX 1R is available in one size designed to fit most adults via the ergonomic cup shape and compression-friendly profile. If sizing is critical (for youth athletes or specific body types), check the product dimensions against standard sizing guides for groin protectors in your sport.

What is the difference between the gel polymer and the gel lining?

They do two different jobs. The Shell-Shock™ gel polymer sits within the shell structure to absorb impact energy and distribute it uniformly across the cup instead of letting it concentrate at the point of contact. The PolyGel™ gel lining is the contact surface against the body, shaped to conform to you so the rigid cup does not dig in or shift during movement.
