Anyone wear impact gear? If so, what's good? I've searched the forums but mostly saw older posts, but wondered if anyone has used any for a bit and have had good results.
Update: had my first notable fall since switching to G-form.Fortunately, I have not had any crashes in the park yet to truly determine how protective are the pads.
I understand your concern as the pads are thinner than d3o and others.
I have the G-Form knee pads and love them (G-Form is the company that makes the shorts for Burton). I tried on 2 other brands and it was the best fitting one for me... and I really liked all the "flex points" in how they distribute the padding. It really hugs around the knee cap area nice. I also really liked how it felt more like a compression sleeve because of its length.I am still thinking about some knee protection as I injured them too many times and last time I had to skip snowboarding for a week just to have my knee heal. I hope the Burton knee protection works well, anyone has experience with them?
