...these pads are a joke. I bought the adult version and returned them. Who wears board shorts under your snow pants? The pads slide around under your pants and the shorts bind up when you put your pants on. I get what they were trying to do, make pads look cool, but these don't work. You want pads that fit snug on your body so they stay in place and it is easy to get on outer clothing. (plus when you do wear them under your snow pants, it looks like you got a load in your pants. so how cool is that?) These may be good for skate boarding or on any activity where you actually wear shorts and hit hard ground. But for snowboarding...skip 'em.

Bought these for my son, and also got a pair for myself as a tailbone protector. I spend my time on the intermediate slopes, and not in the terrain park. They do an OK job and give basic protection, not as good as my football pant tailbone protector. If you are a real hard core person, you will want more protection
