Comfortable, stylish protection without the bulk
The first time I went on a snowboarding holiday the lasting memory is how much my bum hurt at the end from all the falling on it! These were a much have purchase for my last holiday and my body felt so much better for it. They have a high impact pad to protect your coccyx, and then softer pads to protect your bum, hips and thighs. Unlike some other impact shorts these are very low profile, not bulky at all and fitted easily under my existing clothing. They are comfy, have a drawstring at the waist if you need to get them tighter and because they are women's, are tailored to fit. Thy look pretty cool too! There are a lot of other impact shorts out there for a much higher price; for a novice snowboarder like me, who is not about to do any crazy jumps these are ideal and a great price.

Great protection without the bulk
Fab fab shorts. Comfy to wear all day and they don't make your bum look huge. You soon forget your wearing them yet they save you every time. You still feel hard landings but you don't get the sting like you do without protection. For me, good coccyx protection is a must and these fully cover it, unlike some other more expensive shorts I've tried. I also tried the mens version but found them too bulky. If you want protection but don't want buk or to spend a fortune these are perfect.

Demon shorts ( woman's)
These shorts offer amazing protection to all main areas. Coccyx padding is extra thick. I have taken a fall whilst wearing the shorts and recieved no injury. If I hadn't worn the shorts I would have had some serious bruising of the coccyx area. Individual pads are removable. So you can customise protection to suit your needs. One negative about the shorts is that the waistband is not elasticated. It ties with a ribbon. The ribbon supplied is also too short. I ordered a medium which are a good fit on the leg but the waist is a bit big and the ribbon tie is a bit annoying. Saying that I would recommend these shorts to anyone looking for excellent protection that also looks good. Unlike other padded shirts that look quite alien these shorts are a sleek design that doesn't make you look a whole lot bigger.

Not robust enough
I used the shorts during a racent skiing holiday and found that by the end of the trip they were starting to fall apart. All the seams are fraying and the fabric has 'runs' in it. They were comfortable to wear, so the damage wasn't caused because they were too small for me, or because I misused them. I am currently waiting for a refund under the terms of the warranty.

Faulty pair now resolved!
Hi Joanne. I'm sorry that you received a pair that developed a fault. This is the first pair we've had that this problem has occurred. The manufacturers recognised it as a fault and have now replaced the faulty pair. In very rare instances such as these Demon are very good with warranties and will replace or credit them very quickly! That's why we love dealing with Demon as their after sales service is so good which means we can offer quick solutions to our customers if these rare issues occur!

Saved my arse but could be improved
Basically good as padding really works. But the drawstring cord around the waist is stupidly short and the ends were lost as soon as I pulled the on. Very poorly designed. The cut didn't really work for me. But the padding was god and kept me warm too.

Great for the money
Hurt my coccyx prior to snowboarding holiday and these helped soften the blow when I was snowboarding The cord around waist could do with being a little longer as there was no grip for a to stay in place therefore you were forever trying to find it as it had gone back inside the hole All in all a great set of shorts and does what it is meant to

Great value for money
I needed impact shorts to protect me when doing basic snowboarding (not freestyle) and didn't want to spend lots of money. These were perfect and have protected me when I have fallen.

Fantastic
These were bought for my eldest daugher and were pinched by her dad one day, he fell a couple of times attempting to jump off some kickers (he claims he had too to test them out!?) he rated them as the best impact protection he had ever tried.
By Sarah
Thank god!
Couldn't have made the foray into snowboarding without these! For low price quality crash pants these did the job! Although the size comes up smaller than I thought they where still a good fit and wouldn't have really wanted them much bigger as the pads would move around too much. The ribbon drawstring was lost to the ether after only a few days wearing although I'm sure I could fix this - would recommend tying a knot to prevent this from happening if you buy these. The pads seem to work although would perhaps have liked the coxis' pad to have come up a little higher as was able to bruise above it :( (perhaps I should learn not to crash so much). Overall I would recommend these for low budget beginners who weren't planning on chucking themselves off rails or pipes but just planning on piste/offpiste trips.

Great protection!
I am a very beginner snowboarder and have frequently fallen and these are a godsend! They are comfortable and when you are out you barely notice they are there! Until you fall that is! My bottom thanks you!

Good protection, no more tears!
Bought these for my lady for our first snowboarding holiday and they saved the day (6 days in fact), as she did had a few nasty falls and hurt tail bone when having lessons. No matter how many times she fell on the mountain, these did what they supposed to and it worked perfectly.
By Edgaras
Great for beginner snowboarders
Fantastic product, masses of padding and nicely fitted so they are tight but comfortable and not too bulky. An absolute must have for beginner snowboarders saved me from many injuries!
By Gabrielle

These are great protection for your first time snowboarding, had to go up a size for a comfortable fit but a great item.

Smashing shorts!
Taken some hard falls snowboarding recently which should have been pretty painful, thankfully these shorts have made sure i dont feel a thing!
By Zoe
Excellent impact shorts at a good price
I bought these for my girlfriend for her first ever snowboarding holiday as she is a complete beginner. Safe to say these shorts worked perfectly well and there were no serious injuries and no bruised coccyx'. I would definitely recommend these. The fit was comfortable enough and they look very good, another great product from Demon.

great!!!

By Anna
Very protective
Excellent shorts. Great fitting and very protective!
By Rachel
The best protection pants
These impact shorts are really what I was hoping for. It's my second pair and the previous one was more unisex type (still Demon), but the shape of these ones is definitively made for women. They feel nice and tight like second skin and don't come loose after wearing all day. The protection on the coccyx is far better and sit perfectly where it should. Really happy with this and would recommend highly :)

3/5
They ripped on first use but they were exchanged for a replacement. I have not yet used the new ones to see if they will withstand any more use. I have not worn impact shorts before, they are not too comfortable but I imagine more comfortable than the less flexible ones because they are made of thin material with minimalist padding. I have not taken any significant impact in them so I cannot comment on their level of impact protection.
By H
Awesome! Highly recommend
Brought these unsure if they would help impact on falls! Boy do they! Super useful and not bulky as youd expect! Would recomend if your considering them get them!

Extra padding = confident snowboarding
Bought these after I had a couple of bad falls onto my tailbone. Not sure whether the padding helped or I had got better and fell less. The extra padding on the hips and side of thighs made a difference when I slid sideways down the slope. Thought they would make my rear look huge but amazingly they didn't. Wish I'd got these before I started snowboard lessons.
