Tailbone Protector - Snowboarding Forum

Spark · 01-15-2013, 09:02 AM

Anyone have any recommendations for a good tailbone protector that doesn’t restrict movement while boarding?

I took a hard hit to my tailbone while toe-siding my first time out and it’s taken a week just to start feeling almost normal again.

My girlfriend got me one after I told her that I felt like I needed to go #2 really bad after an incredibly hard fall from a small jump I tried.

I bought wrist guards too after seeing someone grabbing their wrist and screaming in the park.

With all the protection I feel like I can try some things I would never think of attempting without protection.

Protection breeds bravery.

Try DemonSnow flex force 3do. I got a pair that really saved my arse a couple days ago. Landed hard on my arse on a waterpipe rail. The only thing I hurt was my ego. They do restrict movement a little since they fit like compression shorts but rarely get in the way.

It is pretty ugly but my first 3 years I wore this. It has hard piece for tail bone. Last year I took off the hardpieces for thighs. They just velcro on. It was pretty good.

I wear Red impact shorts. They are very good and not too bulky.

As far as I can tell from research, the POC Hip VPD 2.0 shorts offer the best compromise between mobility and protection.

I've used crashpad, skeletools, red, dainese and the best is the azzpads... maximum tailbone protection, with very little mobility restriction (didn't there are no legs sleeves to bunch up).

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm going to try Azzpadz. I like that it uses straps, and the price is a bonus.
