Padded short to protect hips
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
I am thinking of buying shorts with some sort of protection for the hips. Every time i fall i hit my hips and make big bruises really annoying and at this age i don't recover that fast
Any recomendations, anyone has used any sort?
