Testimonials

“I was able to go down the mountain in the same way that I came into this world, butt first and screaming at the top of my lungs” – Liam Tarrant

“Let’s be honest. You ARE going to fall, and that’s completely OK. Just accept it. The question is not IF you’ll fall, but WHEN and how quickly you can get up and how you feel the next day. I used these for snowboarding after not doing it for a few years. After any fall on my butt or side, I was able to bounce right back up and attack the mountain with the same gusto as I had the day before. I feel like this product made a world of difference… The fit was great, I didn’t even realize I was wearing them, in fact I may start wearing them in my everyday life. I was able to go down the mountain in the same way that I came into this world, butt first and screaming at the top of my lungs.” – Liam Tarrant

“There’s no way I could’ve progressed so quickly without these pads” – Jeff Beck

“These pads are perfect for snowboarding. I’m finally off the bunny hills but I still crash on my butt every run when I push myself. There’s no way I could’ve progressed so quickly without these pads and I won’t go without them. The thing that I found that differentiates Tortoise Pads is that they’re the only pads that have full butt protection. As for the overall performance of the pads, these guys nailed it! I’ve been crashing in these things every way possible for the past 2 months and I haven’t even had a slight bruise, I really can’t think of any improvements.” – Jeff Beck
