What are the right roller derby padded shorts for you?
If you're looking for roller derby padded shorts, the top three choice our customers choose - and why - are:
- The McDavid HexPad Roller Derby Shorts. These are the original padded shorts first designed specifically for Roller Derby. The HexPads are very slim, light weight, and offer great flexibility and mobility. But, they are slim and light weight. Some girls LOVE them because they are so slim and discreet. If you are looking for light weight impact protection with a low profile, these are a great choice.
- The Triple Eight RD Bumsavers Roller Derby Padded Shorts. Although relatively new to the market, the Triple Eight RD Bumsavers have become very popular with those Derby Girls who want an intermediate level of protection - somewhere between the McDavids and the Crash Pads. The RD Bumsavers have thicker pads than the McDavids, but not as padded as the Crash Pads. If you are looking for "more than the McDavids, but not as much as the Crash Pads", then the RD Bumsavers are your pick.
- The Crash Pads 2700 Roller Derby Padded Shorts. The Crash Pads 2700s offer the most advanced protection in Roller Derby padded shorts. The 2700s have the most protection all around, including excellent tailbone protection. Plus, the 2700s have more advanced fabric that wicks sweat away from your body. And, they're designed by a olympic level gymnastics trainer, so the pads, pad placement, and seams are all specifically designed and located to maximize your mobility and protection. If you want the best derby padded shorts, the Crash Pads 2700s are your choice.
Crash Pads – Designed and Manufactured in USACrash 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 LineProtect your own bottom line. The Crash Pads 2700 Roller Derby Padded Shorts are a great protective choice for roller derby. Expressly made for the sport, they are lightweight, form fitting, and breathable.
