from Alameda CA Date Reviewed: February 28, 2009 Strengths: Just went down in a criterium crash today, and thank god I had these on! I crashed at like 26mph and wearing these under my racing kit really saved my hip/butt from road rash. Went down at ADT center (LA Velodrome) with these on almost 2 years ago. Despite falling from the top of the track, my hip/butt was spared! Great product!!! Easy to ride/race with. Weaknesses: For criterium/track racing, the thigh pad isn't needed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: you mean road right? Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: bike shop Bike Setup: Custom Zinn Road Bike, 200mm crank arms, higher BB, full Dura-Ace groupo.

from LI, NY Date Reviewed: September 3, 2007 Strengths: Looked well padded Weaknesses: Well, while my GF's medium fit her well and fit me, my larges wouldn't go past my thighs. Stitching stunk, hers had a small hole when we received it and the mine started ripping apart when I found they wouldn't go past my thighs. My butt made in the USA, I've got the flak jacket(x2) Helmets(x2) Summit Shorts, Fate Gloves and the LZMX knee/shin and it all looks to be made overseas I think it was china, dont have it in front of me.

I bought these along with the Rock Gardn overshorts (check the website), and its an awesome combo! Weaknesses: Pad arent removeable, and the shorts fit a little snug on the waistline - might not be a bad idea to go one size larger.

from Dallas, TX Date Reviewed: June 26, 2004 Strengths: Fit well and seem to be well ventilated. Excellent tail bone protection. Not too bulky. Cheap. Weaknesses: A gap in the padding on the thigh offers little protection for sideways falls. The thigh padding is a bit thin (but this is also a strength too if you want light). No chamois. No protection for your hip bones.
