CE Level 2 tailbone pad · 12 mm low profile · Ski and snowboard
Protects Like Armour. Disappears Under Your Snow Pants
Every rider falls, and the tailbone and hips usually take the hit. These form-fitting shorts go on under your snow pants and carry pads on the bottom, tailbone, hips and thighs, with a CE Level 2 pad over the tailbone. They stay flat and flexible while you ride, so nobody on the mountain knows they are there.
Real riders, real slopes
Worn under the snow pants, all day
The waistband and thigh grips keep the shorts in place from the first run to the last chair.
In everyday use
At the lift
Where the pads sit
Protection where you land
The pads cover the four places that take most of the knocks on the snow: your bottom, your tailbone, your hips and the outside of your thighs.
Over the tailbone sits a 12 mm pad rated CE Level 2 (EN1621-1). The other pads are a dense PU foam blend that cushions the hips, thighs and bottom.
- Tailbone: CE Level 2 pad (EN1621-1), 12 mm thick.
- Hips, thighs and bottom: dense PU foam blend pads.
- Non-slip waistband: holds the shorts up, with no sticky elastic.
- Silicone thigh grips: the legs stay in place.
- Flatlock seams: flat seams that do not rub.
- 220 gsm stretch blend: moves with you and lets heat escape.

Nobody can tell
A 12 mm pad, not 30 mm of plastic
Bulky crash pants with thick plastic plates show through your clothes and can feel stiff. These shorts use a slim 12 mm pad that sits flat, so there is no odd shape through your pants and no extra bulk or trapped heat.
- Silicone thigh grips: nothing rides up, nothing shows.
- Form-fitting stretch fabric: no lines and no bunching at the waist.
- Breathable stretch blend: lets heat escape and feels light under snow pants.
- Non-slip, non-sticky waistband: holds the shorts up without pinching.
Soft until impact
Soft while you ride, firm when you land
When it helps
The falls every rider knows
Most riders know these four falls well. The shorts are made for exactly these moments.
- Caught edge: you go over backwards, straight onto the tailbone.
- Rails and boxes: the board slips out and you land on your hip.
- Icy mornings: hard-packed snow does not give, so the pad has to.
- Learning days: a first day on the snow can mean dozens of falls. The pads take the sting out of them.
Who wears them

A useful gift for anyone learning to ski or snowboard this winter.
Care
Easy to wash, keeps its shape
1. Wash cold
Machine wash the shorts on a cold cycle.
2. Skip softener and bleach
Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
3. Dry gently
Hanging them to dry gives the best results. A low tumble dry is also fine.
