Tanden Padded Impact Shorts for Snowboarding and Skating, Large, 0.7-inch EVA Pads

Tanden Padded Shorts are breathable, high-rebound EVA impact shorts that protect hips, tailbone, and thighs during snowboarding, skating, skiing, and other action sports.

Designed to combine slim, athletic fit with targeted cushioning, these crash shorts place 0.7-inch EVA pads over the hips, tailbone and thigh areas to absorb shocks while you move. The milk-silk fabric feels soft against skin, wicks moisture, and dries quickly so you stay comfortable through long sessions on snow, ice, or pavement. An adjustable elastic waistband with hook-and-loop closure lets you tailor the fit and wear them under or over pants depending on preference.

How well do these shorts protect during falls and impacts?

The Tanden shorts use 3D-shaped, high-rebound EVA pads that spread force across a larger area to lower localized impact. Pads are placed strategically for common contact points—hips, tailbone, and upper thighs—so they cushion typical crash positions without restricting motion.

• 0.7-inch EVA padding for shock absorption and energy dispersal.
• Ergonomic pad shapes that follow body contours for better coverage.
• Securely stitched pad pockets to keep protection in place during activity.

Will these shorts stay comfortable and dry during strenuous activity?

The exterior fabric is a soft milk-silk blend engineered to be breathable and quick-drying, reducing chafing when you sweat. Pad inserts include mesh channels that promote airflow around impact zones so heat and moisture escape more easily than in solid foam designs.

• Milk-silk fabric for a soft, skin-friendly feel and fast moisture transfer.
• Mesh ventilation in pad areas to improve airflow and reduce sweat build-up.
• Lightweight construction that minimizes bulk under outer layers.

How do I get the right fit and put them on?

An elastic waistband with a hook-and-loop fastener lets you fine-tune the shorts to your waist size for a snug but comfortable fit. They come in sizes XS through L and are designed to fit a range of body types, allowing you to wear them as base-layer protection or over pants when needed.

• Adjustable elastic waistband for personalized fit and comfort.
• Hook-and-loop closure for quick on/off and easy adjustments outdoors.
• Available XS–L to accommodate children, youth, and adults.

How durable are these shorts for frequent outdoor use?

Tanden emphasizes reinforced stitching and secure pad placement to keep the inserts from shifting or tearing during high-impact activity. The construction lengthens product life so the pads and seams withstand repeated falls and abrasive contact with snow, boards, or pavement.

• Reinforced seams around pad areas to resist wear and tear.
• Stitched pad pockets to prevent migration of protective inserts.
• Materials chosen for abrasion resistance in winter and skate conditions.

Who is this for: These padded shorts suit anyone seeking low-profile impact protection for board and wheel sports — snowboarders, skiers, skateboarders, ice skaters, and cyclists who want reliable cushioning without bulky armor. They’re also a good option for coaches, instructors, and learners who spend lots of time practicing falls, plus parents buying protective gear for active kids and teens. Choose based on the fit you prefer and whether you’ll wear them as a base layer or over outerwear.
