- How to Measure:
- For best results, take measurements over your underwear.
- Chest:
- Measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest.
- Natural Waist:
- Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape a bit loose.
- Kidney Belt:
- Kidney belt circumference is taken with the straps at full overlap without tension. The range is calculated based on the adjustment of the strap with tension.
- Rail Guard:
- The elastic around the rail guards fit a large range of shin sizes, however, because the rail guards can hit your boots, know your inseam to get the right size guard.

Not Bad

I used these shorts last year, they look and feel more like a bathing suit than impact shorts, I liked them, but I now have the Basic Impact shorts, which stay in place way better, and have much better padding.

These have padding in 3 places. Butt, hip, and outside femur. I wear these as "just in case" shorts when mt biking. If you know that there is a good chance you are going to crash..get something better. If you "may" wipe out..these are for you. Very stylish and nobody knows you have pads. The pads do "float" some as Chad said. I bought a pair, fell in love and then got 2 more pairs. I wear a 36 pant and the L fits great.
Not a bad setup...

The shorts are meant to look somewhat baggy and they do. Hip, thigh and tailbone padding. Well placed but kinda loose. They should have built the padding on the inner liner. The sizing is really weird. Talks about extended etc. There is nothing to extend. They tie and fit like a board short. I wear a 34 waist and got a M and they're a bit snug but I imagine the pads would be all over the place in a large. Keeping the M for me!!

So yes these probably aren't the best quality available, but if you happen upon them on whiskeymilitia or brociety, they're worth the deal. The hippads aren't tight within the fabric, but on the flipside, they're easy to take out when you want to wash the shorts. The front lacing system makes sure these fit a range of waistlines within the sizing limits. I've even driven an hour to the slopes and back (because i'm too lazy to change my core-layering) and I don't even notice that I'm wearing foam blocks while driving.
