Multiple Layers of Protection

Our T2 impact protection shorts contain a uniquely engineered dual density high impact EVA foam configuration which gives greater protection while minimizing foam thickness. The denser outer layer of foam dissipates and absorbs more of the impact’s energy. The softer inner layers provide cushioning as well as additional protection between you and the ground. The combination of the two results in a pad that will take a bigger impact and will help reduce the number of injuries you might get from falling.

Self Forming Pads

Our multiple layer design and durable spandex pockets allow even our firmest foam to constantly reshape, creating pads that move the way you do.

T2 Impact Protection Shorts – Ergonomic Mobility and Comfort

We have engineered and crafted our impact protection shorts with the perfect spacing to allow for a complete range of motion. The design minimizes the gaps between pads while providing maximum coverage. All seven pads are self-forming. This produces a contoured fit that keeps the pads right where you need them to be, while maintaining the cushioning you need to protect yourself.

Articulated Hip Protection System

The combined hip pad and upper leg pad allows total leg movement while covering a large area around the hip joint and the upper leg. The two pads interlock when falling with a straight leg to create one long pad. If you fall with a bent leg the lower pad wraps around the front of the hip pad creating an “L” shaped pad. Both configurations provide maximum coverage of the hip and upper leg area.

Breathable Mesh Shorts with Extra Tough Pockets

Tortoise Pads® impact protection shorts are made from a durable spandex power mesh fabric with tear resistant spandex pockets. The mesh fabric provides great breathability while the super tough spandex pockets help to minimize the wear and tear that the shorts are exposed to during constant usage.
