Unisex padded impact shorts
Land the fall and get back up
Everyone who rides falls in the same three places: a hip when you catch an edge, the tailbone when you sit down hard. These shorts put a layer of closed-cell foam on exactly those spots for impact protection where you land, then disappear under your snow pants, so the slopes stay fun and the next morning feels kinder.
Padded hips and tailbone cushion, built to move with you
Every pad is sewn inside the same black stretch fabric, so the shorts read as one smooth, lightweight garment instead of a harness of separate parts. Here is where the foam sits.
Tailbone and seat cushion
One large shield-shaped panel spans the center back, segmented so it bends with you instead of forming a rigid plate across your sacrum.
A pad on each hip
A rounded teardrop pad sits outboard on each hip and buttock, quartered by stitched channels so it wraps the curve of the bone.
Down each outer thigh
A vertical column of stacked bolster segments runs from the hip partway down the outside of each thigh, the part of you that meets the ground on a sideways slide.
The front is a flat, light panel with a small hook-and-loop tab at the waistband and two curved strips of finely perforated mesh running from each hip down beside the groin. That is the vent: it lets heat leave when you are wearing a second pair of pants on top.
Made for the slopes and the park
More runs, fewer sore mornings
Molded, segmented closed-cell foam pads are sewn into a stretch shell, so they stay exactly where you land run after run, turn after turn. Snowboarding, skiing, skating, skateboarding and inline skating all put you on the same three spots, and these shorts cushion every one of them.
Slim, light and soft, they feel like a base layer, so you can keep your focus on the next run. Learners get through the sit-down-hard days with a soft landing, and park riders get padding that moves with every trick.
Every order is covered by the Gear Elevation 90-day money-back guarantee, so you can wear them for a full ski trip or a season of weekends and see the difference on the hill.
Pick your size by your hips
Measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, then match that number to the Hips row below. The hip figure is what puts the pads right where you land, and it makes the fit easy.
Between two sizes? The smaller one holds the pads snug to you for the most secure fit, and the larger one is easier to wear all day and vents even better. Sizes are the supplier's own garment chart, given as fit ranges.
Wear them under, wear them over
Under, for snowboarding and skiing
Straight over a thermal base layer, snow pants on top. The profile is slim enough that your outer layer sits normally, and the pads are the last thing anyone sees.
Over, for skating and skateboarding
At the skate park, the rink or on inline skates, plenty of people wear them over leggings where the pads are easy to adjust between runs. They work either way round.
Then wash them
Cool hand wash with mild detergent, then hang to dry. Air drying keeps the molded foam springy season after season.

Nobody’s first season is graceful
Whether it is your first week on a snowboard, your first winter on skis or your first drop-in at the park, you are going to sit down hard a lot before you stop sitting down hard. Foam on the hips, the tailbone and the outer thighs makes those days shorter and the next morning kinder, which, for most people learning, is the whole job.
