Snowboarding Butt Pads
Snowboarders often wear protective gear to enhance their comfort and safety on the slopes. As snowboarding competition increases and snowboarders continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, we've noticed a significant increase in the use of butt pads and hip pads. While some snowboarders may choose to wear padded shorts or impact shorts, which may provide extra protection in the event of a fall, they're not really comfortable or sanitary. But hey, if wearing something that looks like a diaper the Terminator would wear and falls apart after 3 laundry washes is for you, then by all means, do you. We're not judging.
Snowboarding Butt and Hip Pads
Snowboarders should wear butt pads and hip pads that are strategically placed around the hips and tailbone area. Oh yeah, we're getting scientific on you! These pads should be medical-grade foam. Not gel padding. Not the so-called "medical-grade foam" you can buy on Amazon or a local craft store. Sure, maybe you knit too and know what we're talking about. No, your snowboard butt pads and hip pads should be medical-grade orthopedic foam, which is difficult to come by. Unless you know someone. Yeah, we know someone. The medical-grade orthopedic foam padding will help absorb impacts and reduce the risk of injury when landing on hard snow or ice or doing whatever crazy stuff you do on the slopes.
These butt pads and hips pads can be worn discreetly under snowboard pants, and they are available in various designs and thickness levels. Bottom-line, it should protect you, feel cozy, and not get dirty or deteriorate after 3 uses. It has one job and it needs to do it.
