Alright NS, I searched for threads on this topic with not a whole lot of luck.

anyways, i need some suggestions on shorts to wear that will save my ass if i fall on a rail/box.

I'm looking at these POC ones since I can get 50% off on them with employee discount shit.

Any other good shorts that you can direct me too and help me narrow this down before the season starts will earn K+

Check out G form Pads. they are a lil weird looking (get black) but they work soooo well. super low pro too. I cut the thigh pads off on their shorts and they are great. they stiffen on impact and have saved my thighs many many times.

I bought a pair and since I wear tight pants because I'm gay, it really wasn't comfortable and I was loosing mobility

I'm sure paintball slider shorts would work.

Those poc ones are solid, I used to wear those when I was downhill bike racing.

The G form ones recommended above are probably more mobile but provide less protection.

661 formerly made a hard shell set or shorts with plastic pads instead of foam, kinda heavy and hot but probably the most protective.
