The Nutshells Jocks short have been designed with a jock strap that has been sewn inside of a compression short. The jock is sewn in a manner that pulls the Nutshellz cup down and back slightly protecting you more than other from shots coming from underneath – working in conjunction with the narrower taper of the Nutshellz cup. Our cup and short allow for unparalleled “Natural anatomical movement.” Easier running, crossovers, and all-around better experience due to no pinching. The Hockey jock short has Velcro in the front and back of each leg that helps in holding up one’s hockey socks.
