Review on Black 3D Protective Gear With EVA Padded Hip And Butt Shorts For Skiing, Ice Skating, Snowboarding - Impact Protection Pad Included by Jeff Keegan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great if you fall a lot!

Just finished a 6 day trip to Tahoe and for the first time ever, came back with no bruises! I’m still a newbie at snowboarding and end up falling more times than I can count (it’s a wonder I even make it down the mountain without calling for a stretcher). I bought the pads for the trip and definitely put them to work. Usually every time I leave the mountain, I have bruises on my tail bone and hip bones and can barely walk or sit, but I am happy to report this didn’t happen with these!You will see these through your snowboard pants and look like you have a lumpy butt but I wear a very baggy snow jacket that covers so you can’t see it at all.*Sidenote: I was a little nervous with the sizes because they confused me. I am extremely petite, 5 feet and 95 pounds, and so I got a Youth Medium and it fits great. A little tight in the waist and the Velcro doesn’t completely close but the padding was exactly where I needed it to be. I’d rather it feel tight to protect me than baggy and saggy.

Pros
  • The protective gear is unisex, making it suitable for both men and women
Cons
  • Could be too bulky for some users
