Landing like this 10x in a row was the convincing factor. I’ve earned my keep

Check moto-cross shops. The pair I wear are alpine stars IIRC. I tried on a few different options before finding some that put the pad right on my hips and pelvis. They are a great investment.

I got a pair and they sucked big time, went with a football girdle instead.

Took out the thigh pads so it was only hip and tailbone, better material and much less bulky.

Should be at any sports store

Probably not on the shelf in the store you're looking to visit, but please give these a thought because these are MONEY https://www.pocsports.com/products/hip-vpd-2-0-shorts

Very light, soft pads which harden on impact, and the design is super good. Hands down the best product in the market. I've owned a few different products and tried on in a store a few more and anything doesn't come even close to these. Mine have over 200 days on the hill and there's only minor signs of wear.
