TOMSHOO 3D Hip Protective Snowboard Butt Pads Impact Shorts Tailbone Protection Crash Pants for Skiing Skateboarding, Men Women

I decided to do a product comparison instead of a straight review being that I own both the BodyProx and Tomshoo. First off, my use is for LIGHT protection for roller hockey skating. I use this during drills, practice, skating and an occasion pick up game. For these activities, both models will suffice. I would not recommend for actual real game use or in place of hockey girdles because i don't feel they offer the same amount of protection. These are more like referee protection quality. If that's fine with you then continue on. Both are comfortable, though I would give the edge in overall comfort to the TOMSHOO. The Bodyprox material is slightly rougher, but not noticeable unless you happen to have both. TOMSHOO is more like soft underwear in spots. FIT: The edge here goes to BodyProx. I am 5'8, 155 Lbs, with a 31 inch waist. I would describe myself as being in the fit category. I wear a Medium in most clothing. The BodyProx Medium fits me well, snug and secure. I opted for a LARGE in the TOMSHOO after reading the reviews and I'm glad I did. The TOMSHOO runs on the small side. The hip and leg area fit fine but when I go to tighten the waist and zipper area (velcro) i find it quite snug. So even going up one size, it still seemed tight around the waist. Good news is that even though it was snug, it wasn't terribly uncomfortable. And i think if i went up 2 sizes, it would be too big. So, bottom line, GO ONE SIZE UP on the TOMSHOO, True to size on the BodyProx. Also, the waist area of the Tomshoo is adjustable via velcro whereas the Bodyprox is an elastic waist. Protection: Ok, as previously stated, they both offer light protection. The TOMSHOO has extra padding on the bum area which is good for skating or activities where you may land on your butt often. The Bodyprox has thicker feeling protection all around the girdle, but lacks the same protection on the rear end area. Since in skating, you fall on your butt more than you do your sides, Tomshoo would get my vote here. VALUE: The BodyProx was on sale and I paid $27, otherwise it's $30. The Tomshoo not on sale is $20. If you opt to buy more than 1 pair, then the Tomshoo is more economically feasible. OVERALL: I give a slight edge to the TomShoo. The edge would have been greater had it not been for the over snugness around the waist. I am favorable to both.

I purchased these to wear when I roller skate. If you fall the wrong way, it may not pan out so well. Be smart and pad yourself properly regardless of age. I thought the price was reasonable and the shorts aren’t made with cheap material. I think these will hold up for a while. If they don’t, I will write a follow-up of my experience.

I purchased these impact shorts to use snowboarding, and they worked very well. I wanted something more low profile so it didn’t make my plants bugle out anywhere, but still protective. There is no bulging and You can definitely still feel the hits but it minimizes the pain a lot. The only downside to this product is it not being machine washable. Just wish there was some way you could take the padding out to wash the shorts themselves, could get dirty very quickly

i'm giving this product 3 stars because while a lot of the padding is in just the right place, like the tailbone and the hips, unfortunately there is no padding at all directly under where my sit bones are. i'm concerned that if i fall (i got these for rollerblading which i am going to be teaching myself) i will land directly on my sit bones and this could suck. i'm 32, 5'4" and 120 lbs and i think i got the size L, i believe these are a unisex fit but that still doesn't account for where the lack of padding is. the waist is a little tight on me but there is velcro closure so i can adjust that part. my hips are 39" and my waist is 28" so its a little strange that its tight there but thats ok. length of short legs and the way it fits on my hips and legs are fine. i will probably have to wear a second pair of shorts under these.

They are nicely padded all around and they provide good protection. they fit just fine according to their chart, and they are stretchy too. My wife had them on when she took a fall, and these definitely helped her a lot. good accessory if you are into roller skating.

After getting flung about the mountain the first couple of days learning how to snowboard, I decided to pick up a pair of these. Glad I did. Helps to protect the tail bone more than anything. It provides peace of mind which makes my riding slightly less risk adverse. I'd recommend them, especially to middle-aged people looking to learn to snowboard. I wear them over my long johns and underneath my outer player. The long johns make then feel less scratchy. Slightly tight at first but you forget about them once you get going. Definitely great value for the money. I've seen other pairs go for $50+.

It's my first season snowbaording. I thought I gave these a try since I fall alot to the point I've bruised my tail bone area. I have to say it's does feel like it protects your tailbone. But it just depends how hard you take the fall though. Like really hard fall impact won't protect your butt, you'll still feel the pain from the hard impacts but it helps. It's honestly I feel much safer with these on. It's honestly better than having no pads. It's comfortable enough to wear. I really have no complaint about them.

I noticed the gaps in the padding and was a little concerned when I purchased these. However, I looked at the pictures and they said they were for skateboarding and snowboarding so I thought surely there will be padding where it is needed. Unfortunately there is not. I recently fell on my skateboard and have a bruised hip; which prompted me to look for padding for my hips. When I try these on there is zero padding right where it is needed. I guess the butt pad would be fine. Fine if you land squarely on your butt, but when skateboarding and snowboarding 1 ft is always forward and you fall in the direction you are moving. These are not going to work unfortunately.
