Nothing against dick's sporting goods, but if you're buying online, for a bit extra you can buy directly from the West Coast Goalkeeping website and put a name and number on the back if you'd like. I bought it hear because Dick's has a better price for the base jersey. But just so you know, the name is an option! This is my favorite keeper jersey, I really enjoy the pattern, it stands out, but isn't too out there and definitely helps me channel my inner soccer dad at our league games. It's unpadded, which I like, but I know most prefer padding. This is really just a good long-sleeve shirt with goalkeeper esthetic on it, but the fabric is breathable and very good. Weather summer or winter outdoor games, I really do well playing in it. The full-black back does make it hot in the summer if the sun is on your back. Kinda wish the entire jersey was the same pattern, including on the back, but then it would be difficult to have your name and number on the back. So far, I'd say the durability is great. I picked this up a bit over a year ago. For most of it, I've played goalkeeper probably one to three times every week, on turf and on grass, and so far it has no tears, rips, or other issues with it. One strand unraveled a bit in a side area, but generally the jersey has kept up with the abuse.
