Inline Skate Padded Shorts

Inline skate padded shorts: Sometimes you need extra protection

Inline skating is a great way to get low-impact aerobic exercise, but it does come with some risks--like falling. When you were a kid, falling on your roller skates didn't hurt too much. But the older we get, the more it hurts to fall. Whether you're a beginner or an accomplished speed skater, a pair of padded shorts for inline skating are a must. The extra padding can prevent bumps and bruises when you fall and make it that much easier to get up and do it again. XSportsProtective carries a full line of padded shorts for rollerblading from top brands like SixSixOne, CrashPads, POC, Triple Eight, Vigilante, and ProTec.

Padded shorts for rollerblading: Aren't those bulky?

The words "padded shorts" may make you think of clothing that's bulky, uncomfortable, and restricts your movement. On the contrary, today's padded skateboard shorts are lightweight, subtle, and technical. Padded shorts for inline skating are made with built-in foam pads that range in thickness from a quarter-inch to a half-inch. Thicker pads will obviously provide more impact absorption and protection but also slightly more bulk. Some rollerblading padded shorts use a combination of soft foam and hard plastic (typically over the tailbone). Each manufacturer will design skateboard padded shorts a little differently, but pad coverage is most important for the hips, tailbone, upper thigh, sit bones, and hip pointers.
