Padded shorts

Do people wear those bum pads? Or are they restrictive for snowboarding?

Might buy some out there to save my rear from getting too bruised...

I must admit.....I think I will. It was a bit icy last year and I walked like John Wayne for most of the week.

Never met your gf, but from my past experiences the girls arnt used to much pain and have a tendency to let you know about it.

Padded arse trousers sounds a great idea.

re: Padded shorts

the truth comes out!!

I was thinking of getting essentials in the UK and buying padding in Pamps. Will it be cheaper to buy padding out there?

I've seen in a few mags and websites that Burton do one for about £49 or there is some cheaper ones for £29.

Good call.

What about knee pads or is that OTT? Confused

I'm gonna get wrist guards definitely. Exclamation

re: Padded shorts

wouldn't bother with knee pads....to restrictive. Best to get trousers with built in padding in all the right areas.
