Found within the inline skating protection, these shorts offer hip and coccyx protection at a very reasonable cost.

Review Detail
Prettty basic but for the price they are great
Padding is pretty thin but does the job within reason.
I would agree with everything the first reviewer said. you get what you pay for. I did have a few falls and came away without bruises.



Strengths
Price and breathability. Very unobtrusive to wear.
Weaknesses
Not very stretchy

Review Detail
For the price you can't really grumble. Just a shade under £12 these shorts have saved my ass on several occasions - well I've never had a sore coccyx!

They are inline skating shorts, but offer the same hip and cocyx protection as most 'soft' impact shorts. They are basically thin breathable fabric shorts with padding to the backside and hips. Not as bulky as normal impact shorts, which can be a good thing if you don't want a huge backside, but they may not offer the same protection as the specific impact shorts. However, they have done the trick for me and I don't go on the slopes without them.
Strengths
Cheap as chips
Breathable
Not bulky
Weaknesses
Don't offer as much protection as the specific boarding impact shorts
