Hey Guys,

THe best short protectors by far come from this website:

www.skeletools.com

I oreder a full body (2 peice) protector from them a few years ago and have saved myself from soooo much pain, especially from landing on my hip! That rae really comfortable, bendable padding, kinda like jelly....but still protects you really well. If its cold, they act as a great underlayer and keep you really warm! Check em out!

yeah i got the red ass pads at the burton store in burlington and they were 40% off cuz its the summer...theyre super comfortable and get good coverage...that would the best if you loved in the vicinity. Also D-structure sells them but i think only in their stores....cheers

hey if u want a cheap alternative go to ur sports stoer that has baseball/softball equipment and look for sliding shorts AKA Padded Compression shorts. they r made to take the impact os sliding in rocks and hard dirt so the proctect ur thighs and bum pretty well i use them and havent had an issue wiht landing on the hips since and they are like $10-$20
