Small Snowboard Impact Shorts for Skiing & Snowboarding in NZ Size S-A

Durable Impact Shorts for Snowboarding, Skiing, and Winter Sports in New Zealand

Stay protected this winter with our small size snowboard impact shorts. Designed for snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, and similar sports, these padded shorts offer reliable coverage for your hips and buttocks. Whether you’re a beginner hitting the slopes for the first time or a seasoned rider tackling more advanced trails, these shorts help reduce injury from falls and hard landings.

Made with 1.5 cm thick EVA padding on both sides and rear, the shorts cushion your most impact-prone areas. The protective foam absorbs shock without adding bulk. This makes them a great choice for New Zealand’s snow season—especially on icy days at Whakapapa, Cardrona, or Tūroa where conditions can be harder underfoot.

Ventilation matters during high-energy runs or long lift rides. That’s why these small size snowboard impact shorts include breathable mesh panels at the front. These help prevent overheating—especially when layering with thermal tights or waterproof pants. You’ll stay drier, more comfortable, and focused on your ride.

Thanks to an elastic waistband and an adjustable Velcro strap, these shorts offer a secure fit across different body types. The fabric stretches comfortably, making them suitable for wearing under ski pants or over thermal layers. They are available in multiple sizes to fit both adults and older children.
