Triple 8 Bumsaver padded shorts

Triple 8 Bumsaver padded shorts are available in two styles: a “traditional” skate/snowboard padded short that hit mid—to-low thigh and roller derby padded short that’s cut a little shorter and has pads placed specifically for the bumps and bruises of roller derby. The Triple Eight roller derby Bumsaver padded shorts offer great protection and fit at a great price. feature contoured, half-inch foam pads designed to protect your hips, thighs, buttocks, and tailbone. A hard fall on the wrong spot can do more than give your ego; it can bruise your tailbone or strain a tendon or ligament. Triple 8 Bumsavers are designed for moderate to aggressive activity, meaning that they’re a fine choice as protective gear for skateboarders, snowboarders, or inline skaters who are doing more advanced riding. While padded shorts can’t prevent all injuries, they can mitigate the effects of most falls.
