Snowboard Impact Shorts

Snowboard Impact Shorts Cushion Your Falls

A significant number of snowboarders opt for padded impact shorts to safeguard their hips, thighs, and tailbone. Often referred to as snowboard butt pads, these fit snugly under snowboard trousers, featuring EVA foam padding and a combination of lycra or spandex for structure and support.

Padded shorts for snowboarding are beneficial to riders regardless of skill level. Beginners, while mastering board control, often land on their tailbones, which can bruise easily without protection. The padding is strategically positioned to minimise impact in these areas. Moreover, experienced snowboarders benefit from these pads, as they help prevent injury from high-speed falls by offering protection around the hips and upper legs.

Additionally, many snowboarders are now incorporating back protectors for extra safety. For our range, take a look at Snowboard Back Protectors.
