Review on ๐Ÿฉฒ Breathable 3D Padded Shorts for Protection Hip: Ideal Gear for Skiing, Skating, Snowboarding, and Skating by Billy Stull

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The sizes are big and the position of the filling on the thigh is strange.

I ordered MEDIUM but I should have ordered SMALL. I'm 5ft 6 inches tall and weigh 160 pounds with an athletic build. I wear a waist 30. I bought them for snowboarding. As said, they're big, so the compression isn't as tight as we'd like. The padding feels nice and thick, the soft parts are probably about 3/4" thick. And the material it's made of seems to be of good quality. The only thing that bothers me is the feel of a wearing big dirty diaper. Like hanging from my ass. But that might be because it's bigger than I would like. Also, the side padding is too far forward. This should protect my femur if I fall forward, but it seems to protect more from quad hits which doesn't really help because when snowboarding you don't fall on your quads you fall on your hip or butt.I would ideally like it to be sewn an inch closer to the hip, not behind front. When I fall, it's right on my thigh and not the padding, which is a bit annoying. BTW, the place where the "flash" is is Velcro. My biggest concern is the lack of thigh protection.

Pros
  • TOTAL PROTECTION: Padded thigh pads with all-round protection for loins, buttocks, crotch and thighs. Excellent hip and tailbone protection for all active sports such as skateboarding, longboarding, skiing, snowboarding and mountain biking.
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine
