Crash Pads 6000 Upper Body Armor with Tailbone Shield

The Crash Pads 6000 Upper Body Armor with Tailbonr Shield is perfect for the professional and amateur alike. Nearly identical to the Crash Pads 6100, the Crash Pads 6000 comes with all the articulated, super dense foam padding. However, the Crash Pads 6000 also includes a combination hard and soft shell pad that helps protect your tailbone.

Like the 6100 Series, the Crash Pads 6000 upper body armor is designed to give the snowboarder, mountain biker, and skater upper body armor protection without sacrificing any range of motion. The Crash Pads 6000 body armor provides excellent soft-padded protection for your back, sides, shoulders, and the full length of your arms and hard/soft-shell protection for your tailbone. Furthermore, this tailbone protection is easily removable, so you can wear it as comfortably indoors après-ski as you can all day on the slopes. It is no surprise that it is one of our customers’ favorites.

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).

Crash Pads 6000 Upper Body Armor offers you:

• Articulated, thermal-formed, soft-shell foam padding to protect your back, sides, shoulders, and the full length of your arms right down to your wrists
