oh man, i remember looking at the shorts when i was still healling and thinking, god damn, if only. but i’m sticking to my guns saying that such a protective garment is rather rare on the street, but maybe thats not an excuse.

I also had a hemotoma on my thigh that was drained twice. it was outpatient ‘surgery’. they basically just stuck a needle in it and drained it. now its a dent in my leg rather then a bump. still can’t feel large parts of my upper thigh and lower back.

I’m thinking you could buy the shorts and have the pads sown into the inner side of riding pants or jeans. if they fit right then the pads would stay in place pretty good.
