yeah ive got protec ones that are pretty sweet. they're super thin, dont even notice em under my snowpants and great for hipchecking washed out landings.

I wore them for almost a whole season then forgot them once and lost all my confidence that day so I stopped wearing them and just slowly got used to it.

I have R.E.D impact shorts. they're made for snowboard, so i doesn't bprotects from getting nutted. but damn it's so good for the ass and hips. and it's very comfy and low profile. it's a good buy

Does anyone know a couple of sites where they sell protective shorts of good quality?

I really need one after crashing hard doing tricks windsurfing, broke my tailbone. Hurt like hell, still does.

I googled around a bit, but I found alot of different ones in various price ranges, not sure which one to get.

Any advice?

im not saying everyone should wear pads. i dont even wear any. recently im getting into freestyle andive been beating the shit out of hy hips on all sorts of rails. i just thought it was a good idea until you got it down.
