Tailbone Protection for Snowboarders

AZZPADZ is the self-preservation creation of Jason Schuler and Neil James; azz-impact survivors!

 

“I won’t ride without my Azzpadz tailbone protector.

Here’s how my Azzpadz look under my snowpants:

I have tried others, and chosen Azzpadz. I’ve been wearing them for YEARS – EVERY day I ride.

They have saved my “azz” innumerable times already, offering the tailbone protection I need.  Snowboard tailbone injuries are painful and slow-healing and I want to avoid them.  And unlike ‘impact shorts’  Azzpadz can be put on or taken off with your boots on. If you want to progress as a snowboarder, you’ll be trying new things, and taking a fall now and then. End of story.”  

— Lauren, Editor, SnowboardSecrets.com

   “We learned to snowboard with a group of 8 friends during a 2 day trip. Five of us were in dire need of snowboard tailbone protection while the other 3 would come to join our group as the season progressed. We were advised to wear old hockey pants or stuff a pillow down the backs of our pants for snowboarding tailbone or coccyx protection. Snowboarding can be very unforgiving to beginners, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

 Jay and I thought, “this is ridiculous”, so we looked around for suitable snowboard tailbone protection and found nothing! Further searches via the Internet provided us with several companies in the U.S. marketing “tailbone protection pants”, all of which offered “foam only” snowboarding tailbone protectors. Neither one of us thought that foam alone would offer complete tailbone protection for snowboarding. This reasoning lead us to incorporate a flexible plastic shell into the AZZPAD. The 8 of us are still boarding, still falling and of course, fully tailbone protected!”

— Neil James, partner, Azzpadz

Description of Azzpadz        

Azzpadz are constructed with a hard plastic shell on the outside that you can make a “knock knock” sound with using your knuckles, like knocking on a door. They are lined with soft but sturdy foam on the inside. This is a SUPER shock absorbing combination for comfort and safety!
