Review:

Taking heavy slams in the park or on icy slopes can definitely take its toll on your body. I was looking for something to protect my knees that was low profile and non restrictive. Chris and I are big fans of the SHRED NOSHOCK shorts, so I was really intrigued by their NOSHOCK protective pants. The pants take all the great features from the shorts and incorporate a kneepad. These pants fit true to size, so be sure to check the size guide on SHRED’s site.
The kneepad is made from the 2nd Skin XT Foam and is shaped to fit the contours of your knee. It does extend below the knee a bit to provide a bit of upper shin protection. The knee padding does feel a bit bulky but does not restrict movement. As with the



Overall if I am planning to work on park skills, I put on these pants. They definitely add a confidence factor and prevent the dreaded day ending slam.
Pros
- fits true to size
- breathable
- flexible
- protective pads are arranged well to maximize protection where it counts
- easy to adjust and wash
Cons
- can be a bit warm
- knee pad can feel a bit bulky
