| I bought these shorts as I'm learning to spin and knew i'd fall on my a*se landing fakie . Good and breathable they certainly protect your a*se . Only draw back is they wear your pants . So I had a grey patch on my AK pants . Sent them off to a goretex repaiared who put a wicked bum patch in for 15 pounds got the supply of the goretex website . |

| Strengths |
| Good protection , good breatability , add confidence . Wish thet were about when I learnt . |
|
| Weaknesses |
| Wear out your best pants !! |

Got these as a means of lenghtening snowboard trips due to previous bruises and pain.
Read a lot of good comments on this forum and decided to give them a go. Have to admit that they rock! First day wearing them was a dream, my initial fears of nappy feelings were gone in the first few moments of sliding down a run of ice on not being hurt. For protection and comfort, I feel that these were a great investment of 90€. Unfortunately it also gave a bit of a confidence boost to what I thought I could mange in my new Indestructable state........

| Strengths |
Comfortable.
Good mix of Hard and Soft pads.
Added insulation when sitting on the slop. |
|
| Weaknesses |
Bloody akward going to the crapper!!
Managed to burst the A*se out of a pair of Trousers where the solid cocyx protector had met the ice. |

Bought these so that she could carry on after going down hard and rodgering her coccyx. Ouch!
Stopped her whinging, well mostly. Impressed by the mix of hard and soft protection and the comfort (yes I have worn them) plus the extra thermal insulation when sitting in the snow. Must save up for me a set.
Quality item which should last a lot of seasons and save a good few missed days. |
|
| Strengths |
Infinitely better than a bit of old carrymat.
Go unnoticed in use until they are needed.
Give the wife a great J-lo look. |
|
| Weaknesses |
Does my bum look big in this?? No of course not dear.
Getting laughed at by my mates when clobbering up. |

Had bad fall last year and so got kjityted out this year in preparation for another. These shorts are really confy and yopu forget that you have them on whilst boarding. Definately saved me from a bruise or two.. perhaps worse.
Only when you sit down off the slopes do you realise they are on and then they feel like your wearing a nappy... could be considered a good thing if thats what your into |
|
| Strengths |
| excellent protection, comfortable, forget they are on |
|
| Weaknesses |
| sometimes the cocxy? protector felt as if it was slipping around slightly. |

| Bought some Red Impact shorts before going on holiday after serioulsy brusing my coccyx on a previous holiday but they were too small and i couldnt find anymore in time. Vowed to buy some more in Risoul but they were all out of my size so decided to buy these Dainese ones instead, although more expensive they are extremely comfy and easy to take on and off. They made such a difference compared to not wearing anything, would've been lost without them as they gave me more confidence to push myself that little bit further when boarding. |
|
| Strengths |
| Padding all around and on the hip bones provides protection whether your on the slopes or in the park. |
|
| Weaknesses |
| Bought the small size which seemed to fit perfectly however the shorts sometimes seemed to have shifted as the protection over the coccyx was not always aligned. |
