Impact & Crash Pads | Padded Shorts & Hip-Tailbone Protection

Falling happens. Whether you're carving fresh powder, hitting rails, or learning new tricks, the right protection makes all the difference. At The Drop Rideshop, we believe in riding hard and smart — which is why we carry a strong selection of impact & crash pads designed to shield your hips, tailbone and thighs while keeping you comfortable and mobile.

Why These Pads Matter

Snowboarding and skiing involve high-speed movements, variable terrain and the occasional wipe-out. Padded shorts and crash pads help absorb impact, reduce bruising and protect high-risk areas like the hips, tailbone and lower back. Skadi Snow Sports+1
From beginners to park rats, adding a layer of protection means less downtime and more confidence on every run.

What to Look For

When selecting protective pads, keep these features in mind:

• High-density foam or gel-insert padding over hips and tailbone to disperse impact forces.

• Low-profile design so you maintain mobility and your outerwear fits comfortably. Burton Snowboards+1
