By using the new 3D Motion Analysis technology, performance products can be designed to ensure a player uses minimal energy while moving the upper body, reserving and redirecting that energy to where it's needed most—in this case, the feet. The jersey also uses an engineered mesh, or 'battle skin', that enhances breathability, giving players more comfort and freedom with each movement. The collar and arms feature power cutlines, giving the jersey a striking look that emphasizes the strength of the chest and arms.

The shorts--inspired by both football and boxing--feature a boxer-like belt as the waistband. The shorts also have mesh gussets for improved ventilation and additional freedom of movement. The final piece to the kit, the socks, have a shaped footbed to provide support and protection for high-stress regions, along with mesh inserts to provide breathability and an exaggerated definition of the calf muscle.

PowerCat Glove
The PowerCat 1.10 Glove continues PUMA's history of producing top-of-the-line goalkeeper gloves and adds a punch of power.

The PUMA Flexible Finger Protection System allows goalkeepers to adjust the individual protection levels for each finger with a specially engineered 'spine' that keepers can adjust. The POWER Wrist has two-directional silicon straps for added support and stability. The PowerCat 1.10 Glove gets a thrust of power with PUMA's new power foam featured on the backhand. This padding compresses slower than it expands, giving keepers more power when punching away incoming shots on goal.

PowerCat Guard
The POWER concept is further reflected in PUMA's extensive PowerCat guard. The shark gill effect is carried throughout the shin-guard, offering the 'shape and fit' customization and guaranteeing a perfect fit every game.

PowerCat 1.10 Ball
The PowerCat 1.10 Ball is the latest innovation from PUMA's award winning design and development Equipment team. The ball has been in testing for the past six months with Sheffield University, as well as three select top division teams in Europe. The ball excels in flight characteristics, shape and anti-absorption properties, as well as the all-important the touch and feel experience.
