just give it try.i bought one a month ago and it felt really ackward when i put them on.even my wife think its funny i wear an azzpad but i don't care.anyways,i normally dress pretty much when i go up the mountain so i have to drive with this on,it felt like i was seating on a booster chair but not bad.i guess that help me adjust so the chairlift did not bother me at all. so far this pad help me so much on all my crashes except for the rib shot i took from a treeso just use them a few times and you might get use to it.

I used the azzpadz the last 4 days while snowboarding and it did a great job protecting my still tender tailbone bruise from the previous week. Definitely made my sit down falls less painful and glad I made the purchase. Just need to be careful about catching edges and falling forward now.

Question for those of you with Azzpadz. Do they add any width around your waist? My pants all fit snug, not tight but definitely not loose, around my waist. Will the Azzpadz cause any issues?

Mine doesn't add anything at the waist but if the azz of your pants is tight it will be noticeable.

new to the game and forum, so pls excuse if this is too newb;

what is recommended for tailbone and overall bottom protection? I saw azzpadz and skeletools looked interesting.

thanks.

EDIT: so just read up on the RED impact shorts and the crash pads. sounds pretty solid except for the complaints on the RED impact shorts. so ive narrowed my search to skeletools and crash pads. Any thoughts?

Default azzpadz or shorts?

Hi all - I think I'm an intermediate or something slightly above a beginner maybe I've spent prob 12-13 days on the board.

I have a tailsaver (tailsaver.com) but thinking of getting something a bit better. Was thinking of an azzpad as they get good reviews on here. Was also thinking though is it better to get a decent pair of hard-tail shorts instead to give more overall padding...

If you were at my level (plan to get stuck into some nice red slopes this winter) but not do tricks etc would you focus on ass protection (azzpadz) or slightly less ass protection but better all round protection for hips / cheeks and get a pair or hardtail impact shorts?

PS - I'm a bit chunky @ 5'7 and c. 190 lbs so I can tend to land hard enough I guess

Thanks for the help!
