I know these aren't a kite, but in my humble opinion, these shorts are just what's needed for anyone into boarding/buggying!
I bought these shorts as I was having a few problems with my buggy! (More a case of my lack of skill and ineptitue than a fult with the kite or buggy!) I had just bought a Parastorm Typhoon , which I had chosen due to the back support and found that EVERY OBE seemed to end with bruising on my hips due to the high side rails of the buggy.
I looked around, did a little market research and settled on the SixSixOne Bomber Combo's.
The shorts are designed to be worn as a snug fit, under other shorts/trousers. There is closed cell padding around all the vunerable spots, with a harder plastic covered pad at the bottom of the spine. The shorts are made of a mesh, so are reasonably cool to wear, although where the pads are, I tend to sweat a little.
Ihave managed to crash test these shorts on several occasions (everytime I'm out on the buggy!) and since I've had them, the bruises seem to have stopped, so I can't play the injury give me sympathy card with the girlfriend!
The only slight downside is that as they are designed for cycling, they come with one of those dodgy looking crotch pads, that remind me of incontinence pants!
Apart from that one small niggle, these shorts are top kit!
I know you can include photo's in this section, but as this is a family website, pictures of me in shorts would have to be censored for the good of the majority!!!
