 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone know of good but cheap body armour/padding to protect my skiiny back bottom? Had one too many tumbles on my coccsyx last week in la Plagne and it's feeling a little tender, a message I can't ignore before I go again in March!
I know there are some bits from Dianese but at £80 for a pair of short, I don't think my wallet can stretch. Does anyone know of kit that's closer to about £50 - that's less of a bitter pill to swallow!

I'd search the special offers on outdoor sites such as mountain biking/boarding, skateboarding etc for the sales.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

try www.bargainboards.com, i bought some padded shorts that do the trick and I think they were quite cheap ! Keep up the boarding and stay off the greens, they are worse than the reds for a new boarder !

Don't know if they're any good, but I just came across these on Ebay when I was looking for wrist guards. They do look a little lumpy

Dude..there's a cheap 'n' cheerful solution that works everytime...
buy yourself a 'cheep 'n' cheerful camping mat..£5 on ebay, £10 from your local milletss, not the thermarest ones just the bog standard foamy ones..Cut out a bit that's vaguel bum sized and then shape so that it can fit down the inside of your board trousers..job done..and make one for your mates...
helps keep your bum warm when doing bindings etc..

www.chainreactionsnow.com had some 661 shorts for £28 i haven't tried the shorts but i have the knee pads and they've been great!!
Another solution if you can't get shorts to fit is Hein Gericke motorbike shop www.hein-gericke.co.uk sell armour called Hiprotec its made of flexible rubber and costs about £10 it comes with popper studs that you can use to attach it supposedly inside motorbike gear but it also works great if you attach it to a pair of baselayer leggings or shorts you can either use the popper studs or sew the armour in!! I tried this as i couldn't get shorts that fitted me and it works great it doesn't look like it will protect you as it looks quite thin but trust me it does!!I've crashed bikes a couple of times and fallen plenty while snowboarding in this stuff and so far it's done the job!
