Hip protectors?

Looking into getting some compression shorts with some guards on the hip area because today I tried to 270 on to a wider flat rail caught My front edge and just slammed straight to my hip on the rail. This is the second time I've done it and I just hate hurting my hip/quad area that bad because it hurts like a bitch and worst of all it takes like a week or so to heal and if you fall on it again which is pretty common, you fuck it up even more. So to avoid this problem all together I'm looking in to getting some hip protectors, anyone else wear these?

I've got some slytech crash pants, they're super comfortable sitting and they have hip and backside padding definitely recommend them.

I wear a R.E.D. pair I got for like 30 bucks at a snowboard shop. Definitely makes me feel safer when trying new stuff, I wear them all the time even when I'm out of the park.

The worst is when you injure your hip and then a week later when it still recovering you hit it again and it all starts again

Yeah this is what I don't want to happen, it feels better now, not as bad as the first time but I'd really love to avoid the issue all together

I have dynese. Couldn't be happier with them. Saved me so many times. Best thing is it have plastic hip guards so if you slam your hip on icy landing you don't get blue baloon bruse. Definitely recomend using hip pad

I've been wearing some nike pro combat football compression shorts with pads. Their super comfy and nice hip padding, tailbone, and thighs. Been treating me super well so far.

I have a RED pair of D3O ones that are flexible and comfy until they're impacted, and the material tenses up. A bit pricey but they've definitely extended a couple of my park days. They give you a little confidence boost too knowing that you're safe.

Poc ones I had them they were great. had to get them cut off cuz of a femur accident and got other shitty ones not as protective or comfy.

The thicker the better. and make sure they fit as good as possible and have good ventilation. sweaty balls arent fun
