Impact shorts

Impact shorts are padded base-layer garments designed to protect the hips, thighs, tailbone, and pelvis during off-road, stunt, or aggressive riding. At Xpert Moto Gear, we offer a range of impact shorts with built-in EVA foam, D3O®, or multi-layered padding designed to absorb impact without adding bulk. Our shorts are ideal for motocross, enduro, BMX, downhill mountain biking, or any ride where falls and hard landings are likely. They’re breathable, lightweight, and easy to wear under riding pants.

Regular compression or athletic shorts offer zero impact protection. Xpert Gear Shop’s impact shorts are purpose-built to guard against falls, slides, and landings that can cause serious bruising or injury. Unlike generic sports gear, our shorts include strategically placed padding in high-risk zones without limiting flexibility. Whether you're riding trails or attempting jumps, Xpert Gear Shop ensures you're protected where it counts.

Yes. Xpert Moto Shop’s impact shorts are made from stretchable, moisture-wicking fabrics that hug the body without pinching or chafing. They’re designed to sit flat under riding pants or suits, and many models include mesh ventilation zones for added airflow. The padding is low-profile and anatomically shaped, allowing you to move freely while still providing critical protection during falls or collisions.

Absolutely. Xpert Shop offers both hard-shell and soft-shell impact shorts to suit different riding styles. Soft-shell shorts with flexible foam are perfect for trail riding and general use, while hard-shell variants are better for stunt work, MX, or downhill mountain biking. We also offer models with removable pads for easy washing or adjustable coverage. Each product listing details the protection level and use case to help you choose the right one.

Xpert Gear Shop provides clear sizing charts with waist and hip measurements in both inches and centimeters. Our impact shorts come in youth, men’s, and women’s sizes, and many have stretch waistbands or compression fits that adjust to your body shape. If you wear body armor or braces, our team can guide you to the best size for comfortable integration with your full protection setup.

Xpert Shop’s impact shorts are designed by riders who understand the realities of off-road and adventure crashes. They combine durable padding, breathable fabrics, and smart design to keep you protected without sacrificing mobility. Riders choose Xpert Shop because our gear holds up when you push your limits, whether you're sliding in corners, sending jumps, or navigating rock gardens. Trusted by MX racers, trail explorers, and extreme riders, our impact shorts are essential undergear for serious protection.
