The Essential Upsides of Wearing Skateboard Hip Pads

Skateboard hip pads, sometimes called butt pads or protective shorts, aren't just for skaters anymore. They're a must-have for anyone who loves to push their limits on wheels. These protective pads offer a layer of cushioning for your hips, tailbone, and backside, giving you the confidence to try new tricks and land those gnarly slams without the fear of serious injury.

And the benefits don't stop at skateboarding! Whether you're into roller skating, snowboarding, roller derby, ice skating, rollerblading, or riding longboards, scooters or BMX, OCD Skate Shop’s hip pads can help you stay safe and keep the good times rolling.

What Makes a Great Skateboard Hip Pad

Not all hip pads are created equal. When you're choosing the perfect pair, there are a few key features to consider that will make the difference between a good session and a painful one. From impact absorption and breathability to durability and material quality, here’s a break down what sets the best hip pads—or impact shorts as some call them—apart from the rest.

Impact Absorption and Cushioning

The whole point of hip pads is to protect you from those inevitable falls, so impact absorption is crucial. Look for pads with thick, high-density foam padding that will cushion your hips, tailbone, and backside from hard landings. The better the cushioning, the less likely you are to feel the impact of a fall.

Breathability and Comfort

You don't want to be sweating buckets and feeling restricted when you're trying to skate your best. That's why breathability and comfort are so important. Choose hip pads made from moisture-wicking materials that will keep you cool and dry, even during intense sessions. And make sure the pads fit snugly without being too tight or restrictive.

Durability and Material Quality

Skateboarding is tough on gear, so your hip pads need to be able to handle the abuse. Look for pads made from durable materials that can withstand repeated falls and slides. Reinforced stitching and high-quality fabrics will ensure your pads last season after season, saving you money in the long run.

At OCD Skate Shop, we stock a wide range of hip pads from trusted brands like Triple 8, ensuring you'll find the perfect pair to suit your needs and style. Whether you're after classic bum saver padded shorts or something a little more streamlined, we've got you covered.

Gearing Up for a Safe Session

Getting the right fit is key when it comes to hip protection. Too loose and they'll shift around, offering minimal protection. Too tight and they'll restrict your movement and be uncomfortable. Check out our sizing charts to find the perfect fit for your body.

Remember, proper hip protection should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing you to move freely while providing a layer of cushioning between you and the concrete. And if you're ever unsure, our team is always here to help you find the right gear for your skateboarding adventures across Australia.
