Triple 8 Damen Skate-Shorts Hüftschutz Rd Bumsaver

Bien fait mais beaucoup trop court

The padding looks thicker in the photo and the gaps between the foam padding are too large to offer much protection for the tailbone.

I bought this after having three bad falls in a row at a roller derby beginner session. After looking on Reddit, this had a lot of buzz about it so I ordered one to see if it would protect my tailbone from falls. I fell within the first five minutes of wearing it, landed hard on my lower back, but I was able to get up right away and back to skating for the rest of the session. It’s done wonders for my confidence. I wear it under leggings and it’s not actually noticeable, I genuinely have to tell people I’m wearing it. It is quite a comfortable fit, but it does feel a bit like an adult nappy/diaper. For the safety element and protection alone, I would rate this 10/10.

All the pads are removable. I didn’t want the thigh pads so I took them out and they work great. I am male and figured these were designed for females as they are derby model. Took a chance and glad I did. The fit seems weird in the crotch area at first but I don’t notice them anymore. They seem to fit like a tight boxer brief with the leg part completely cut off. Pads are fairly thick and soft. Wiped out off a rail snowboarding and they seemed to make a difference. Quality is up to par with other triple 8 gear.

I bought these to use with snowboarding. I have broken my tailbone and sacrum and just can't go without padding.These fit perfectly. They are like stretchy biker shorts with pockets of foam. The foam is removable. I took it out the hip padding. I'm hoping to double up on the tailbone padding. The foam is only about 1/2 inch thick and seems to be a simple foam. I like that the padding goes higher than the tailbone to protect my sacrum as well.These fit easily under my snowboard pants. And they're comfortable too. I can easily move in them. I don't feel restricted at all.I bought a size small. I have a 27 in waist and 38 in hips. They fit perfectly, and probably with a bit of room to spare since they are stretchy.I bought a pair of Burton's Red protection pads but had to return them - they had loads of hip padding and hardly any tailbone coverage. Not to mention they wouldnt fit under my pants. Could not remove those pads either. And they were at least twice as much!I will update after they get some usage on the slopes.UPDATE 1.15.15I have now hit the mountain twice with these...Ouch, my poor bum. While these definitely helped (no breaks!), I think I could have used more padding personally. The padded locations were slightly bruised while the areas with gaps had the biggest bruises I've ever had...the kind where a lump forms - the hematoma bruise. If I had only fallen a few times it would have been better, but I pushed myself and made it worse. I think these shorts are perfect for the person who might fall a few times, but not for the one who will be falling all day on hard surfaces. My favorite part about these shorts is still that you can remove padding and how they fit! Now if only I could add a little more in a few spots!
