We recommend wearing the Aurora cup with our compression shorts for the best fit, comfort and security.

The front-pocket system was designed specifically around the Aurora Cup to keep it properly positioned during play.

The cup may fit in other cup-compatible compression shorts, but we recommend the Aurora system for the most secure and comfortable fit.

Our shorts are specifically designed around the shape and flexibility of the Aurora Cup.

Traditional hard-shell cups provide greater protection from extreme direct impacts.

Aurora was designed for athletes who avoid traditional cups because they’re uncomfortable. SportLab material stays soft and flexible during movement, then firms on impact to absorb shock.

The result is flexible protection without the traditional hard-cup feel.

No protective equipment can prevent all injuries. Always follow your sport or league’s equipment requirements.

Aurora is designed for athletes looking for flexible, low-profile protection across sports including baseball, hockey, lacrosse and football, MMA, paintball, and more.

Protection needs vary by sport and position. Aurora is not recommended for catchers or goalies, where traditional hard-shell protection may be more appropriate.

Yes. The Aurora Cup is available separately.

For the most secure fit and least movement, we recommend pairing it with an Aurora compression short.
