I've landed on my left hip one too many times.... I'm feelin like an old man 4 days after a little spill at mototown.

Anyone have any experince w/ this kinda equipment?
Mission Thorax Sr. Inline Hockey Girdle '06 Model

I can't tell if the padding on the hips is hard plastic or foam... I'd like to get some hard armor right there w/o spending an arm & a leg.

Couple other products i've found... but again, I'd rather have some high impact padding:

ProTec IPS Hip Pads - Snowtraders: Snowboarding and Winter Gear Store.

Hillbilly Dirt Gear Protective Shorts for snowboarding, mountainboarding, bmx - Crash Pads or Butt Pad.

These might be the ticket, but 99 bucks?

ActionStations Inc - Bohn Body Protection & Scottoiler Auto Chain Oiling

plus they look really gay. Here's the less gay version:

Never mind the padding you have to stop falling down...what happened at Mototown?

There are companies that make motocross / action sport specific shorts like that. Check EVS among others.

Thanks dude... I've basically just been googling stuff but I just went to the EVS site & found these:

Those look OK, but I've got to say I haven't been impressed by the quality of most dirt riding gear. I think the snowboard short you linked look a lot better. Might make you butt look fat though!

I've been threatening to get some shorts like this for a while.

The pro-tec or the hillbilly's? I'm just worried about whether or not they'll fit under my leathers.

If I remember correctly that one seems to be right up your alley

Funny you mention that, I just got a pair of Dainese Pro-tech shorts from
Motomarket because I did not like the hip protection in my current pants.

So far, I like them.

They are not solid black like the picture shows, they are a woven mesh with eighth inch holes that breathe.

These bones of mine are getting old, gotta take care of what I got.

I like those! I only wish they put some padding on the front of the thighs too.

But so far, they seem like the front runners in my searching.

Thanks,

hmmm... those dainese shorts look pretty good w/ the hard armor on the thigh/hip....


... and the dude in the pic even has a tramp stamp

I figure these pads will work best for you since you already use them.

There are some DIRT cheap under-leather tops and bottoms on closeout on dennis kirk. I'm talking $200 marked down to $50. If not for my drinking habits I would be picking them up.

Do you mind being a little bit clearer and giving a brand name or something to look for.

They got a lot of stuff at that site.

I wear the EVS padded riding shorts under my leathers. There are foam pads in the hips, thighs and ass. No monkey butt here
