Bodyprox Protective Padded Shorts for Snowboard,Skate and Ski,3D Protection for Hip,Butt and Tailbone

Excellent product. Good fit with good coccyx protection. Worn a few times now without any degradation or reduction in the quality of protection material.

Straight out of the packet these felt and looked great. The pads are super chunky looking which made me wonder if I'd get them under jeans. But everything clings to you really nicely and fits great.The sizing seems spot on for me. I'm a 30ish waist and got a medium. Medium is meant to be 29-33, but I think if I was anything over 30 I'd grab the large. Especially if you ever want to wear these over your jeans.I had a cheaper pair that was nice enough protection, but very uncomfortable due to some weird itchy mesh fabric on the inner thigh area. These new ones have a consistent nice lycra type material that is super comfy.The only criticism I can think of, and I'm nit picking at this point, would be that the armour could allow better airflow if it was perforated. You could probably do that yourself though.Overall I'm glad I got these over the very similar but considerably more expensive Triple 8 Bumsaver. Either short will likely rip in a bad crash. Better to replace a £30 short than a £60 one.

Good for ice skating (worn under trousers).I bought these shorts for ice skating protection, planning to wear them under trousers. I have found them to be ideal for that use, once I got the right size.The shorts have a range of pads spread across the leg, hip and coccyx (bum) area. Each pad is pretty large and they're not too bulky. I thought that they gave reasonable protection to all areas. All of the padding is removable by manoeuvring it through small holes on the inside of the shorts (I haven't tried yet).There is no drawstring or fly but they pull on/off easily enough and are comfortable enough to wear - I forgot that I was wearing them when driving and skating. I didn't feel that they restricted my movements nor felt overly warm (but I was ice skating). I did notice the warmth once I took them off.I would suggest that you check the sizing carefully. I have a 32/33 inch waist (as measured with a tape measure) and the Small shorts were the right size to wear under trousers. The padding is not so bulky that trousers felt tight. I understand that other people wear them over trousers, but I didn't attempt this.Build quality seems good and in general these may be a reasonable pair of protective shorts depending on your activity.

I use these shorts as a goal keeper. I used to have a different pair but it broke fairly quickly and wasn't really protecting my hips enough. This product here, however, is built very well and I can dive as much as I want without having to worry about hurting my hips. They are a bit bulky and take a little bit of time to get used to due to the strong padding, but in return you get fantastic protection. Highly recommended.

I purchase these to replace a cheaper version that i had in previous years that I was not confident with.The cheaper ones did not have any protection just where i thought i needed it. As proved when I took a heavy fall right on my ceramic replacement hip, this was on compressed snow that was like concrete.These bodyprox shorts give protection in the area i need. I did not manage to test it on the ceramic side this time but on the other side i felt no impact at all when glancing off hard packed snow. Very pleased with the protection so far. A slight downside to this design is that there is no front gap in the design so if worn under a one piece suit a little planning is needed for any comfort stop needed. Over all i am very pleased and wish that I had come across them when i ordered my first protective shorts.

Pretty good product, VERY bulky, you need loose fitting shorts over it. I'm an inline skater, so skater 3/4 shorts fit comfortably over the top. The mega downside is, when you fall (doing aggressive skating, jumps / ramps etc) the 1 area you NEED padding hasn't got any! It's protected my coccyx a few times for sure. It's a shame the reverse part is my thigh is absolutely destroyed! This product needs to Kering with, padding moves to some better places and skimmed down (Picture attached shows where passing really needs to be, that gap is seriously bad, that's where 99% of your impact goes when you fall on your butt / slightly to the right, which is very common when skating) You sweat like an absolute animal in these too! There is no wicking or air flow, pure heat and sweat. It doesn't rub which is great! Washed in my machine 4 times now, no fabric softener, holding up very well.

I got these because I am learning to skate again at 43. They're comfortable and easy to move in. Padding on the bum, hips and thigh gives a bit of protection when falling, which is great considering I went down like a sack of potatoes and landed quite hard. Combined with my other safety gear I feel confident that I can fall and practice falling without too much bruising.

Used for fast in-line skating (i.e. roller blading). It's winter now, so I'm wearing leggings, then this on top and then a pair of jeans over that. They're not that noticeable except to those who know what they are looking for. Because I knew I'd wear this over leggings, I went for a size large. My jeans size is in the 28-30 range, but I have 24" thighs, so I was more concerned around constriction around the legs than a loose waist. The L is fine for me, it is a bit loose, but under jeans, no problem.Padding is decent in all the right areas - for me I was especially looking for hip/outer thigh protection - but I would agree that this is unlikely to last beyond a season assuming you are washing it regularly. But that's OK, I also get through at least 2 pairs of gloves a year, so this is no different.These will make you hot, but that's to be expected.
