Snowboard Impact Shorts Will Soften the Fall

Many snowboarders opt for padded impact shorts that shield the hips, thighs, and tailbone areas. Also referred to as snowboard butt pads, they seamlessly fit under snowboard pants, with EVA foam typically used for the padding and lycra or spandex to keep everything in place.

Snowboard padded shorts are beneficial for snowboarders at all skill levels. Beginners, as they learn to control the board, often fall on their tailbones, which can quickly become bruised without protection. The pads are strategically positioned to minimize impacts in these areas. The protective padding can also spare experienced riders a lot of pain. At higher speeds, if a fall occurs, multiple areas around the upper legs and hips are safeguarded.

For additional protection, many snowboarders use back protectors. To explore our collection, visit Snowboard Back Protectors.
