Red Base Layer Shorts are probably the last word in snowboarding/skiing protection. These Base Layer impact shorts would suit the more experienced/intermediate rider who is likely to spend less time on their backside than the 'rooky'. The shorts incorporate the very latest technology in protective clothing for snow-sports. The now legendary d 3o Shock Impact Material is installed in the key areas that take the biggest hits. These ergonomic breathable pads (slightly slimmer than in the ' Total Impact Shorts') are located at the hip & tailbone. The shorts are made from a moisture wicking mesh with a boxer short elasticated waist & loop-pulls on the sides for easy-on/easy-off.
