Best Skate & Skateboarding Padded Shorts of 2025

"I'm not one to usually write reviews, but I was genuinely impressed with these shorts. As a beginner snowboarder, I experienced significant tailbone pain last year, so I decided to try these. They did their job! I still felt some impact during falls, but I'm heading home this time with a much happier tailbone. The padding was just right—not too thick—and they stayed up perfectly while snowboarding. I highly recommend them for anyone just starting out!"

"I bought these for my daughter who is a skater. After an intense fall, I realized she needed more protection. Now, it's standard for her to wear them as part of her gear, and they've worked perfectly to shield her from impacts during high-speed falls. The price-to-value ratio is excellent, and I absolutely recommend them!"

"I use these shorts while playing as a goalkeeper. I previously had a different pair that didn’t offer enough protection and broke quickly. However, this product is built very well, allowing me to dive without worrying about hip injuries. They are a bit bulky at first, but the fantastic protection is worth it. Highly recommended!"

"I went snowboarding for the first time and got these shorts to help me avoid injury during the inevitable repeated impacts with the ground. I fell a lot, and I genuinely believe these saved me from some bruises and potential breaks. They are a bit uncomfortable, but it’s a small price to pay for the protection they offer. Many fellow boarders I spoke to mentioned that pad discomfort is common, so it’s not just these shorts."

"I ordered these for my son, who hurt his tailbone last winter while snowboarding. I thought these would offer great protection, but he refuses to wear them. He feels the pads are noticeable under his pants and feels embarrassed. They seem well constructed with rubber pads on the rear and thighs, but my son disagrees about their bulkiness."

"These padded shorts have been fantastic for my son who is learning to snowboard. Despite many falls, he hasn’t hurt himself at all. The shorts provide excellent protection, making falls feel less impactful. They fit well over jogging pants under his snow suit, but we suspect they might be too tight over the suit. Overall, they are a great investment for learning without the fear of injury."

"I bought these shorts for my daughter who is figure skating and practicing jumps. Her coach recommended them to protect her hips and tailbone, and they are working great!"

"I've been using these shorts for quad skating for about three months, skating five times a week. I find them to be a great value; the padding is dense and the material is sturdy. They fit true to size and have held up well after hand washing. I may look a bit silly wearing bigger shorts over them, but the protection they offer is worth it!"

"My daughter regularly uses these shorts while learning new jumps. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. They have saved her from falls multiple times, and I would definitely buy these again!"

"I wish the padding around the hip area was better. However, I can take a fall straight on my backside and walk it off without any bruising. It significantly blunts normal falls. I wear synthetic under armor pants, then these, and finally regular sweatpants. The fit is good for my size medium or large."

"While I appreciate the tailbone protection when I rollerblade, I found the hip padding to be lacking. It covers just to the hip joint, leaving the rest exposed during a fall. Despite this, I'm still happy with my purchase since I mainly wanted protection for my rump, and they fit well under my clothes."

"I opted for the #2 Depend bumsaver for extra protection after bruising my tailbone. It delivers as promised. If you're looking for effective tailbone protection, this is a wise choice!"

"I bought these for my boyfriend, and he loves them! They fit perfectly, and he hardly notices they’re on. After some nasty falls, he was able to get back up without a problem."

"After bruising my tailbone at the skating rink, I decided to try these shorts. I was doubtful about the sizing for my 225lb size 16/18 body, but they fit perfectly! The padding is very well done, and I like that they come with a laundry bag. I haven’t tested them out yet, and I hope I won’t have to find out how well they protect me, but I expect to soon!"

"I recently tried the Soared Protection Shorts and was impressed by the exceptional quality and padding. I wore them while skating and landed hard during a trick, but the padding cushioned the impact significantly. Compared to other brands, these shorts provide outstanding protection for aggressive skaters like me!"

"I'm really glad I purchased these before heading back to skiing after a long break. I fell multiple times that day, but thanks to the padding, I had no bruises. They seem durable and are super comfortable for all-day use, allowing for full movement without compromise. The velcro on the front is among the strongest I've encountered in any product."

"I initially had concerns about the padding placement when I bought these. While they do protect the tailbone and hips, I noticed there's no padding directly under my sit bones. If I fall, it could be painful. I'm 5'4" and weigh 120 lbs, and I ordered a size L. The waist feels a bit tight, but the velcro closure allows for some adjustment, even if the fit is a little strange given my measurements."

"After a few days of being thrown around on the mountain while learning to snowboard, I decided to get these. They do a great job of protecting my tailbone. Wearing these gives me peace of mind and makes my riding experience less risky. They feel slightly tight at first, but I forget about them once I start moving. Overall, they are a great value for the money, especially compared to other options priced over $50."

"I bought these for my daughter when she started skating, and they were a life saver. They literally save your bottom! Super comfortable and offer all the protection needed for padded shorts. Just make sure to pair them with quality knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet."

"As a woman with a size medium, I got the small, and they fit perfectly. They provided the protection I needed for snowboarding!"

"I purchased these for added hip protection while playing hockey. They fit comfortably under my gear. I'm XL size, weigh 180 lbs, and stand 5'11". Overall, great for what I need!"

"These padded shorts have saved my booty! I’ve had two previous injuries from hard landings, and these impact shorts have prevented any new ones. My 21-year-old son recommended them to me, and at 54 years old, I find the extra protection invaluable!"

"I’m an active person involved in snowboarding and mountain biking, and when I found these padded shorts, I thought, 'Oh yeah, I could use those!' They provide great padding in the hip and lower spine areas, which is essential for my sports. While they do reduce comfort a bit, I’ll definitely wear them on days I expect to take more risks."

"As a roller derby player, I bought these to protect my tailbone and hips. I ordered a large, and while it fits like a men's large, I found them a little tough to pull up. The padding is effective, but it isn’t as pliable as I hoped. While they work well for skiing or snowboarding, they might not be ideal for high-mobility sports like hockey."

“As a size 12 woman, the large fit perfectly. I feel more confident skating with my grandkids since these pads are THICK & CUSHIONY.”

“I was a total newbie to snowboarding, and I knew I’d be falling a lot. Thankfully, I bought these pads! My friends were sore from their falls, but I felt protected and comfortable even after many wipeouts.”

“After my dad's first day snowboarding, he mentioned that he only had minor bruising and minimal pain thanks to these pads. I wish I had them when I started; they really made a difference in my comfort and safety.”
