Burton Red Protection Impact Shorts
Best impact protection for action sports enthusiasts seeking low-profile safety.
These impact shorts are the ultimate insurance policy for anyone pushing their limits on the mountain or at the park. The low-profile padding absorbs serious shock without turning you into the Michelin Man, though you will sacrifice a bit of breathability for that level of rugged, high-impact defense.
