Just curious. I never have worn any protective short, but after a few tumbles, am considering some GForm liners for me and kiddo.
Thoughts?

Compression Shorts For DH, What Are You Wearing?
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
are you looking for just protection or protection + compression?
Pretty much just protection, but I also want a chamoix.
I have an old pair of RaceFace liners that have removable d30 hip pads and offered some extra protection.
Not comfortable for any real pedaling though, but for strictly park days they were better than nothing.

compression shorts are different than that.
Compression Garments
Compression garments remain a recommended tool for promoting recovery and therefore influencing subsequent performance.

Ok, then I am just talking about protection with a chamoix.

I wear the poc ones under baggies.
I used to have some Fox ones, but I wore them all of one or two times. So damn hotttttttttttttttt.
And they were soft padding, so really just to minimal protection. I felt more comfortable and "more free(?)" riding with normal chamoix and thick DH/moto shorts.

Yeah, that's what I ride with, but two massive hematomas on each hip has convinced me to look for something more.
i dunno man...i just wear military surplus cargo shorts and boxers for everything.
Just bought the Race Face ones. D30 pads and a quality chamois.

^^^ not exactly this, but this.
I can’t remember the last time I rode with a chamois.
usually compression shorts under moto shorts for DH days, and chamois shorts under generic trail shorts for trail.
I found that the additional protection that padded shorts provided wasn't enough to outweigh the weight/chafing/heat of a padded set of shorts. I had a set of bombshell style padded shorts. When I wrecked, I did pretty well, but I wrecked less when I had more control/comfort.
