Thanks for the recs, I’ll check on the cups if I ever need this kind of PPE. Those riding gloves are serious business, those would work for sure! The only issue I see there is affordability e.g. could a group buy a bunch of pairs to hand out to people and also conspicuousness. But I am thinking the Mechanix gloves I was thinking of would not do the trick.
There’s a lot to be said for something made to keep your hand together in a motorcycle crash. I have not been failed by riding gear. Many of the jackets have armor built into them as well. I’m fond of Icon gear.

Modern athletic cups aren’t bad, they make boxer brief style carriers. They are made for mobility and relative comfort.
There are motorcycle gloves with hard plastic or carbon fiber knuckle protectors. Bonus benefit, they happen to be great for punching with.
