No, I don't see orders in the system for a McDavid Hexpad Thudd Short version with an extended thigh pad. Sometimes things are introduced to us on a weekly basis tho, and it is always a good idea to check the website weekly for newer articles.

Unfortunately, because of the position that I am in, I can not make personal judgements about two different branded items that we carry as some of our vendors would see that as being biased. What I would recommend is either visiting the actual vendor's website to read the reviews from customers, or checking out our reviews if there are some posted. Even on this Q & A platform, some of our customers may respond to your question offering their opinion on the men's Nike Pro Combat shorts & the men's McDavid Hexpad Thudd Short. What I can say about the two brands is that each short will have pads that are similar in thickness, each has their own method of moisture control to help keep you dry, and both designs will help cushion impacts to the thighs and hips. The McDavid brand also has a tailbone pad for extra protection.

The men's McDavid Hexpad Thudd Short does have a tailbone pad as well.

Depending on the sport, which I imagine we're talking football, the men's McDavid Hexpad Thudd Short might not have enough protection with just the girdle itself. It would actually come down to personal preference as to how much padding is enough for you, tho. Plus this particular style does not have a cup pocket. This might be the determining factor as to which sport this particular garment is more useful for.
