Product Review

Early on in my freestyle riding, particularly learning to spin in the park, I found that I would often fall heavily on my tailbone/coccyx. For anyone who’s fallen on an icy landing, you know my pain.. Ass Armor impact shorts are a base layer short with extensive tailbone protection, so was really a no brainer getting a hold of some.

I purchased and have been wearing Ass Armor shorts every day of park riding I have had this season and not once have I had tailbone pain - big ups to the shorts cause I fall a LOT.

The shorts themselves are a slim fitting base layer short with a single padded section on the rear. This short is lightweight and comfortable to put on and I often forget I’m wearing them while riding. However, I will say they can take a little time getting used to walking with them on and sitting on them since the padded section is rather wide spread. I think the increased area of the padded section compared to some competitors shorts is a definite win as I have owned a competitors short and have fallen and missed the padded section - very frustrating. The stretch knit material of the Ass Armor short is fantastically comfortable as it is relatively seamless, it also has dry-fit tech which helps it breathe to stay dry and limit odour -  another big plus! This short is suitable for any boarder but especially those looking to get into park riding and start spinning!
