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 Bottom Line on the Crash Pads 2500s
The Crash Pads 2500 Pro-Pant Padded Shorts with tailbone protection are an excellent choice for anyone serious about their action sports. With Crash Pads 2500, you get high quality, soft-padded protection for your hips, quads, buttocks, and tailbone. In addition, you get a removable, hard-shell insert for even more protection of your tailbone, all for a price that is only slightly higher than some of the more budget-minded protective shorts on the market today.

The Crash Pads 2500s are hand stitched in the U.S.A. Compared to other brands of padded shorts, the Crash Pads offer more soft pad impact protection. As always, level of protective involves a trade-off between amount of protection and weight/bulk. The Craash Pads 2500s tend towards the "more protection" end of the spectrum, and are a good choice for people looking for a lot of protection, but not so much that they would need hard shell body armor.
