In GTA San Andreas, ProLaps is available as an accessible clothing store where the player can purchase various sporting outfits and accessories. Based on the real-life clothing brand [[wp:Reebok|Reebok]], the store's motto is "Train Hard"; on many of ProLaps' "Train Hard" billboards in GTA San Andreas, however, an "S" is spray-painted in front of the "Train", revising the slogan as "Strain Hard". | In GTA San Andreas, ProLaps is available as an accessible clothing store where the player can purchase various sporting outfits and accessories.

The range of outfits available at ProLaps stores in GTA San Andreas is as expected for a sporting outlet. The vast majority of items on sale are sports-related, including specialized accessories and attires, and uniforms for specific sporting teams based in [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. Most items on offer at ProLaps are priced at a moderate-to-high amount to reflect their high-performance nature; notably, watches from ProLaps are significantly expensive and are the most pricey items in the store. | |||
ProLaps is also the only store that offers motorcycle helmets (three types in total), all of which are listed under the "Hats" section; like other hats, the helmets are designed to be worn at all times but offer no extra protection to the player. The [[:wp:Pickelhaube|Pickelhaube]]-like "Helmut" in particular is compatible with the biker outfit set available at [[Victim]]. | |||

*The name ''Prolaps'' is a play on the word "[[wp:Prolapse|prolapse]]", meaning to fall out of place. In this case following [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar's]] long line of sexual jokes, it is referring to the male and female genital region, or the area around the anus, also most likely excluding the heart. | *The name ''Prolaps'' is a play on the word "[[:wp:Prolapse|prolapse]]", meaning to fall out of place.

*ProLap's shop attendant in GTA San Andreas is implied to be a homosexual.
