Dominik L.Wilen b. Wil, SwitzerlandVerified Buyer5 of 5Protective pants: designed by a skater for skaters—and you can really tell. The impact pads are positioned exactly where you need them and are even reinforced with a hard shell. My tailbone and hips are already grateful that they’ll have extra protection if the worst happens. The pants are very comfortable and breathable thanks to the mesh fabric. According to the manufacturer, the pants should be worn relatively high on the waist to ensure optimal protection. The upper elastic band fits well, but the lower elastic bands on the thighs could be tighter. Otherwise, as you’d expect from ennui, this is another high-quality and well-designed product.Michał PaszkowskiOtwock, PolandVerified Buyer5 of 5Comfortable,and you can feel safe during a fall...just part of the armor....Inger JensenAarhus C, DenmarkVerified Buyer5 of 5Very good qualityJan HansenBrønshøj, DenmarkVerified Buyer5 of 5Saved me a lot of bruisesstefan kigyosikosice- slovakia, FranceVerified Buyer5 of 5I am very happy.Sander W.Helsinki, FinlandVerified Buyer4 of 5The padded shorts are overall comfortable and can be worn over regular shorts, which by a quick glance just makes them look like black shorts with lots of strange pockets. A small problem is that the waistband is quite snug and can sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable when worn for an extended time. I'm not sure how well the padding works since I haven't really fallen down yet but the pads are quite sturdy and I can feel a difference sitting down so I believe they'll work just fine.Joachim B.Mülheim An Der Ruhr, GermanyVerified Buyer4 of 5The hard caps provide extra protection and can be removed.nicolas sinodinosPARIS, FranceVerified Buyer4 of 5if you're looking for a pair of shorts that won't hurt, this is the one, unfortunately too big for me, so I'm sending it back and waiting for the S/M.
the foam is thick and, above all, there's an extra plastic cover, the only problem, which I hope will go to the next size down: when you fall, you bend over, which stretches the fabric and, as it's stretchy, creates a gap between the protectors, so you're potentially unprotected. Note that this is the case with all the shorts I've tested. And this one has the merit of having real foam + plastic. Those only in foam will hurt you when you fall, that's for sure, I find most foams too thin.Ioannis KaravokyrisVoula Attica, GreeceVerified Buyer5 of 5I used it for 3 days in a row... excellent fit and stays at its place... (intermediate snowboarder) // Careful with the sizes... - after a while you forget you are wearing it... until you fall (snowboarding - of course you will fall) but you don't feel anything - no pain at all (and no bruising) ... great product ... I should have washed the fabric before the first use... you can take out the protection pads to wash it...ES ASUnited Kingdom5 of 5I had an issue with multiple confusing size charts online. The official size chart included with the product is as follows:
S: 63-68cm / 24.8-26.8 inch
M: 68-72cm / 26.7-28.4 inch
L: 72-76cm / 28.4-29.9 inch
XL: 76-80cm / 29.9-31.4 inch
The size chart is still confusing though! I am 183cm or 6ft. Measuring my waist at the very slimmest point under my navel and pulling my belly in as much as I can gives me a waist measure of 70cm. I tried both versions on to see which is better.
The waist elastic on the large size didn't leave any extra room, but it was loose enough that I would be kinda worried that it would loosen over time and eventually not hold the shorts up. The thigh elastics were completely loose on me. My thighs are not particularly skinny, but somewhat muscular - I'm a cyclist. The mesh was overall very baggy on me in the large version.
The small/medium shorts fit much better. The waist elastic is tighter, but not uncomfortable when standing. The mesh is not baggy.
