Crash Pads

So ive been looking into buying some crash pads. Generally, I really dont like falling and I think having some would boost my confidence a little bit and (obviously) give me some good protection.

So my question is, how much is TO much as far as the padding goes ans how much is a good price. If someone has some good recommendations that would also be helpful.


I was looking at these

The review says it hardly restricts your movement at all and that you dont notice them at all after a couple runs. Also wondering if this is true (maybe someone has experience with shorts like these).

Thanks
