Crash Pads 1200 Bicycle Padded Pants

Originally conceived as protective pants for mountain biking, the Crash Pads 1200 Bicycle Padded Pants are full-length padded pants that can be worn as protective gear for a number of different action sports– snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, inline skating, motorcycling… really, any action sport you participate in where quality protection for your hips, quads, shins, and calves is what you need.

Crash Pads – Designed and Manufactured in USA
Crash Pads is dedicated to making protective gear that is flexible and lightweight, but won’t restrict any of your athletic mobility. As a company, Crash Pads is the quintessential small business success story. Back in 1992 in the beautiful river town of Astoria, Oregon, where the massive Columbia River flows into the Pacific, a woman teaching herself to inline skate got tired of the bruises she suffered every time she wiped out. So for her own self-preservation, she began to stitch foam pads into her clothing. Through trial and error, her designs became increasingly more sophisticated. Thus was born Crash Pads, one of the very first manufacturers of body armor in the United States. To this day, nearly 20 years on, every piece of protective gear the company designs is still manufactured in the United States (not anymore at this enterprising woman’s kitchen table, but most definitely in the United States).

The Crash Pads 1200 Bicycle Padded Pants offer:

• ½-inch articulated, thermal-formed, high-density foam protection for your hips, quads, shins, calves, and the outside of your knees
• Four-way stretch, combination mesh/Lycra fabric for maximum durability and comfort
• Six-panel design that form-fits to any anatomy. Six panels give the 1200s a fit that is tailored for your riding position on the bike - a thoughtful design detail you won't find on many other padded pants
• Antibacterial, seamless foam crotch pad for cushion from saddle sore
• Waist drawstring that cinches in the rear so it won’t pinch your stomach when you’re in a crouched or racing position
• Unisex sizing for women, men and children

They are lightweight, completely flexible, and restrict none of your range of motion, meaning that you’ll be ready for any and all action in whatever action sport you choose to pursue.
