Overall: • This one is finally is the one I have been long looking for.Satisfaction: • I am so happy to have bought this padded short after I actually field-tested in hot summer 81 F degree with humidity and REALLY like it so much!Background: • Until now, I have been buying, inspecting design and protection coverage (seeing pictures is quite different from actually physically touching it with hands to feel the fabrics), skin contact feeling of the fabrics and pad placements, and then deciding to return many previously bought padded protective shorts for the reasons like, 'bad design, pads not good, fabric itching my skin, the seam is not well made, fabrics not durable, not breathable, not good air/heat ventilation.Test: • Temperature & humidity: 82 F degree with high humidity 75% or so summer • Heavy full-body Sweat and Heat: running downhill long-boarding each run 1 mile downhill with turning and sliding (i.e., heating up my body temperature so fast with full sweaty around the padded short) and paddling myself and the board uphill back to the top of the hill – I was fully sweaty and wet after several runs.Assessment and Opinions: ◦ Protection: ▪ Yes, though I did not fall down to actually test it. I was able to feel all the freedom to make all my needed movements to controls my fast turns, sliding, etc and I don’t feel any constraint at all. I did feel that those thick pads and make me feel more confident to do my maneuvering during my downhill speed long-boarding. • Conclusion: 1. This padded short is living up to what it claims – “excellent ventilation! My hip temperature is not that hot at all” though I can feel the heat around my hip. This padded short definitely is much cooler than all other kinds of padded shorts I have been using. 2. The extremely skin-friendly very soft-feeling fabric of this padded short is the best feature also. It stretches all directions and the most important factor is it is so soft and has zero skin scratching or itching - I have very sensitive skin to be irritated by bad fabrics. 3. The wick of sweat seems to work as the website claim. I don’t feel wet and watery between my legs or around my hip. 4. The extra think pads and the additional thick pad to protect the tail bones is also the best feature too since it is so common to fall on the tailbone for longboarding (similarly in snowboarding) for me. • Suggestion (for other buyers and for manufacture to improve to be even much better: 1. the tri-pads areas need to be smaller or change the shape to protect the greater trochanter bones exposure: when squatting down (a common technique in snowboarding and downhill long-boarding, also many active sports), the un-padded tri-pad areas will be stretched larger which happens to expose my both greater trochanter bones. If I fell down during this posture, my greater trochanter bones will directly hit the ground. With this fact, when choosing the size, you want to choose a bit larger size to prevent the stretching during squatting down – stretching the tri-pads meeting areas (both sides). 2. The seams can be changed to the in-side-out style to make skin-friend since I am not at all concerned about how the short looks (especially wearing my sports shorts or skate-pants. The skin-friend is more important than it looks!
