Triple Eight RD Bumsaver Women's Padded Shorts for Roller Derby, Skateboarding and Skating, Small

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!

Comfortable to wear but the tailoring wasn’t very good.

I got these for roller derby. They fit great didnt ride up or down just stayed in place I got a small I wear a size 3 in pants. I wore these in a scrimmage and had no big bruises just a few small pin head size bruises on my thighs.

I thought I ordered a women’s small but it seems more like a child’s small. Padding also does not look like in the image. Should have researched better. Will have to return

I love Triple Eight gear but these shorts were way too short and snug. I am in the processes of returning and exchanging them for a larger size. I'm pretty petite so I thought the small were be perfect but I could barely move in them. I've worn padded shorts skating before so I know they are suppose to be snug but these were too much.They are also really short, which is in the description, but I wasn't expecting them to be as short as they are. I typically prefer longer shorts in the legs but I'm willing to give a larger size a try.Other than the sizing, they are really light weight and I expect comfortable with the right size.

Buy a size a little larger than what you would normally buy, they fit a bit tight. I wear a size 5-6 jeans and ordered a small and they were way too snug. Medium fits tight with just the right amount of padding.

The picture makes you think the pads are really thick but they aren’t. To be honest, the cheaper $20-40 butt pads on Amazon are much better with more coverage.

I haven't worn these for roller skating yet but I wore them under my snow pants a couple weeks ago when I went snowboarding and enjoyed a full 2 days of falling on my bum without any pain!
