What Customers Like You are Saying
"These shorts are a game-changer for long days on the slopes. The padding is spot on and gives me the confidence to push myself without worrying about taking a fall. Super comfortable, even with all-day wear under my snowboard pants. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to stay protected while riding."

"An absolute lifesaver for anyone who's taken one too many hard falls on their tailbone. I can ride longer and try new tricks without the fear of getting hurt. Without these, even a couple of runs would leave me sore, but now I can shred all day without a problem. Smart design and great protection!"

But it’s not all about Immediate Protection
There are medical conditions which can arise from long and prolonged Impacts to The Tailbone and Hips over a number of years.
Research Shows Snowboarders Over 35 Are at a Higher Risk of Coccygeal Microtrauma Syndrome and Osteoarthritis
Snowboarding is a thrilling sport that offers adrenaline and freedom to those who love the slopes. But for snowboarders over 35, the risk of long-term injuries increases, particularly in the tailbone area. Recent studies suggest that older snowboarders are more susceptible to conditions like Coccygeal Microtrauma Syndrome and Osteoarthritis in the sacrococcygeal joint. These issues arise from repeated low-impact trauma to the coccyx, leading to cumulative damage that can manifest later in life.
Coccygeal Microtrauma Syndrome is caused by repeated low-level impacts on the tailbone (coccyx), which can result in tiny, often undetectable fractures known as microtraumas. These microtraumas may not cause immediate symptoms, but over time, they accumulate and weaken the bone structure. This condition can lead to chronic pain, inflammation, and even changes in the alignment and function of the sacrococcygeal joint.
Of course, if you don't ride too often, it's unlikley to be a major issue, but it’s always something to consider if you have been riding for a number of years.
