hip pads for muni?

If you get hip pads, make sure you don't get any with tailbone
protection. they feel really weird when on a uni.

Has anyone had any experience with wearing hip pads for muni? My hips
are the one unprotected part of my body that I seem to hit the most
often when I do muni.

These 'Fox Launch Shorts' (http://tinyurl.com/2pb4eo) look pretty nice,
although a little pricey.

A bicycling friend recommended that I get pads for (American) football
and stuff them in my shorts. Do you think they would move around too
much? I have zero experience with football pads.

Any recommendations?

Forget those, get these! http://tinyurl.com/2z8ndg

I wear UnderArmour with thin pads in the hips under my bike shorts.
They are comfy and don't get in the way. Not a lot of protection but
some.

I bought a pair of those a few months ago thinking they would be ideal
for muni.

I'll admit that I've not actually used them for muni yet, so only have
road experience in them, however, I can quite honestly say that all 3
times I've worn them, they are the most uncomfortable things I have
ever worn.

I think the problem is that the foam is way too hard, so where it's
segmented 'giraffe-skin stylee' it tends to make up for the lack of
curvature by pinching. And some of those pinches really aren't very
comfortable at all.

I've not tried any other hip protection though, so despite them being
totally awful, they are the best I've come across! Personally I'd just
suggest not landing on your hips whenever you come off 😄
