Skateboard Impact Shorts

Embrace Safety With Impact Shorts

Impact shorts serve to protect your hips, tailbone, thighs, and buttocks. They resemble the length of normal shorts but incorporate padding in strategic areas to cushion falls. Worn underneath your clothing, they mitigate those aches and pains you might feel the next day and provide defence against more severe injuries.

It's especially advisable for novice skaters to wear impact shorts, though they're beneficial for any skating style that risks falls on the hips or buttocks, including ramp skating. Skateboard impact shorts are adaptable and can be utilised for a variety of action sports like inline skating and stunt scootering.

Choose Between Rigid or Flexible Padding

With padded shorts, you can select from an array of styles and designs. Harder, more rigid pads are equipped with robust padding and resilient EVA foam, offering maximum protection against severe impacts. Meanwhile, thinner pads allow greater flexibility but offer less protection.

Furthermore, it’s well known that a good skate session can be quite an intense workout. Therefore, numerous brands manufacture shorts with breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
