30-day returns and free size exchanges. If it doesn't fit or you don't love it, send it back unworn for a full refund.

How much protection do they really give?

Segmented EVA foam over both hips and the tailbone spreads the force of a fall instead of letting it land on one point. They take the sting and bruising out of the everyday falls. They are not a substitute for a helmet or certified body armour.

Will they show under my pants?

No. The pads are low profile and the short is thin, stretchy compression fabric, so it sits under motorcycle pants, ski pants, MTB baggies or jeans without adding bulk.

How do I pick my size?

Measure your hips at the widest point and use the size information on this page. Buyers say the fit runs a touch large: if you are between sizes, take the smaller one. Wrong-size exchanges are free.

How long does shipping take?

Made to order: 3–5 business days in production, then tracked shipping. Most US orders arrive within 17–25 business days. Order at least 4 weeks before a trip.

What if they don't fit?

You have 30 days from delivery to return an unworn pair for a full refund, and size exchanges are free.

PROTECTION THAT FEELS RELIABLE

“With a hip circumference of 107 and a waist of 77, height 168 cm, size L fits well. I think I can easily wear leggings under shorts. The protection looks quite reliable but not soft.”

Real impact protection, without the armour bulk

The usual choices were hard-shell armour that shows under everything, foam you strap on and re-tighten all day, or nothing at all.

These shorts put segmented EVA impact pads over both hips and the tailbone inside a compression short. No straps, no shell, nothing to adjust. Pull them on under your pants and forget them.

EVA impact pads in a short you forget you are wearing

A fall onto your hip or tailbone hurts because the whole force lands on one small point. Hard shells spread it but add bulk; nothing at all leaves you sore for a week.

Segmented EVA foam

Segmented EVA foam

Thick closed-cell foam split into segments, so the pad bends with you when you sit or pedal and still takes the hit when you land.

Compression fit, no straps

Compression fit, no straps

A polyester-elastane short holds every pad over the bone it protects. Nothing to buckle, nothing to slip down your leg.

The pads compress on impact to spread the force across the whole hip, then spring back. The stretch short keeps them exactly where you need them.

Questions riders ask before ordering

Straight answers, including the ones other shops skip.

How do I choose my size?

Measure your hips at the widest point and use the size information on this page. Buyers say the fit runs a touch large: if you are between sizes, take the smaller one. Buyer reports: 168 cm / 107 cm hips → L fits well; 170 cm / 68 kg → L was a bit big, M would have fit better. Wrong-size exchanges are free.

Can I wear them under my riding or ski pants?

Yes. The pads are low profile and the fabric is thin and stretchy, so they sit under motorcycle pants, ski pants, MTB baggies or jeans without adding bulk.

How much protection do they give?

Segmented EVA foam over both hips and the tailbone spreads the force of a fall instead of letting it land on one point. They take the sting and bruising out of everyday falls. They are not a substitute for a helmet or certified body armour, and no protector prevents every injury.

How long does shipping take?

Everything is made to order: 3–5 business days in production, then tracked shipping. Most US orders arrive within 17–25 business days. Order at least 4 weeks before a trip.

What if they don't fit or I don't love them?

You have 30 days from delivery to return an unworn pair for a full refund, and size exchanges are free. E-mail us first and we send the instructions.

How do I wash them?

Hand wash cold with mild soap and air dry. No tumble dryer, no ironing — heat damages the foam.
