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

swishtony, all this stuff is going to be quite bulky - you may have to start rocking the super-baggy look. Remember to wear a belt.

Oh, not at all. Get the next size up of the impact shorts and wear them on the outside.

I use some Dianese shorts for racing on the dry slope. They have "soft" and "hard" varieties (or at least they did when I bought them). I find them quite good because they're not too bulky. Only downside is that they make you look like you're wearing cut off fishnet tights!

Thanks for the replies.
Thanks for that link carbon.... have you worn these, they look ideal. Just ordered a pair for £50 so will report back when I get them. Cheapest price by a mile, some places selling same item for nearly double that!
evski - I looked at the Dainese soft ones but the padding on the hip looked a bit sparse. Edge and Wax have a pair in stock and I spoke to them today, from what she was telling me the protection is mainly on the thighs and less on the hips.

Yes, you're probably right if you want maximum hip protection. I still get the odd graze between the pads when I fall. They do make quite a difference though.

Just eat more. I have plenty of natural padding

Thanks for the tip carbon_copy, the 661 Evo Bomber Shorts arrived today, they feel great and look to have just the right amount of protection. Seem to have zero restriction on movement as well which is great. Good shout, many thanks!
