Just got them, fit and finish are great. Great price value. Can't wait to try them on my next trip.

Purchased for protection against off road falls on my electric board. I was getting bad bruises on my legs/hips going up and down hills and uneven dirt/grass parks. This protects me from the waist down (in addition to knee pads) from any bruising and scrapes so far. It's like falling on a pillow, seriously. Wished I had these on for my two falls riding over 20 mph on pavement. Padding on rear also helps when landing on your butt. Wearing these under loose jeans and no one notices I have the padding on underneath.

Being an avid biker both motorized & pedal powered. As well as a roller blade'r. Not gonna talk about the times I jumped out of perfectly good airplanes. These short are highly unlikely to save you from falls from 10k+.

Wish I had these shorts long ago. Would have avoided loss of skin & meat., Would have avoided happy go lucky nurses bent like a Godzilla 100 mph wind scrubing away on the exposed meat with a hard bristle brush intent on getting every pebble & grain of sand out. I would have more muscle mass if it were not for the dedicated nurses.

The good, the hard armor on the sides that get hit when doing a side slide will help you avoid the nurses hard bristle brush.

The padding should be better. Smallish area protection, rather thin. Clearly devised by engineer's who have never ventured out of their safe space in the lab.

A wider protection & thicker is necessitated. For those that actually go outside of the lab.

Bottom portion is net. Yea, wear shorts over or yer nads or lips gonna be visible, depending.

Wore it two times. Seam is coming apart at the very bottom, where the Lycra meets the net.

Something easily fixed, simply use some button/sofa thread, much stronger than regular sewing thread. Make sure all needles are accounted for, or some strange sensations may be experienced.

For the price good protection. Not great unfortunately.

My opinion is that the engineers/designers should actually throw themselves at the ground with forward momentum. Like those of us who are not afraid of living life outside of a safe zone.

Shorts are ok, but could be better. Who ever thought up these. Needs to actually test them at speed. They might figure out better protection.

They fit fine but the padding was stiff and shaped flat rather then around my legs and the fabric was thin. I returned them because they were what I wanted but they might work for someone else.

Comfy while riding an euc tbh, got over my milli vanilli fears and just wear these out in the open lol (I'd add matching color boxers). It's meant to protect you just like the knee pads, wrist guards, vest armor in an event of all to common fall and eventual road rash. I do change out of them once at work though. Ill update to see how good/ bad it handles or tears under use in time.

Having face planted only facing forward so far in riding luckily it's just been the kneepads, chest and wristguards taking the brunt. A sideways motion fall will definitely be a hip side and elbow hit. Can never predict these things but peace of mind to be covered for that split second wtf moments.
