Too many options for butt pads. What do. Iām aware of hillbilly, have other plans for those.
Contenders:
Triple 8 Bumsaver
Bohn all season riding shorts
Dainese Hard short E1
Leatt 3DF 5.0
Knox defender Mk3
Anything from this, probably bodyprox

Right now Iām leaning towards
Leatt 3DF 5.0
Dainese
Bodyprox
Obviously there are lazyrolling pants, I donāt think they have tailbone protection tho, and theyāre waaay too expensive to basically have to hope you guess your size right for the time beingā¦

Dainese or alpinestars bionic shorts. You need hard pads to slide
Iām talking for wearing under, not over. All Iām after is padding for hip impacts, not slides, and tailbone impacts. I guess sliding is technically an answer to both of those, but I guess Iām more looking at cushion padding, not sliding.
Areas of polymer are however helpful in the even of if I get slid hard enough for jeans to rip thru, but I havenāt really had that yet in accidents that have bruised up my hips/tailbone
Wait maybe Iām being dumb right now
Basically, I think hillybilly pads are my ideal for speed run/race wear. Looking for something more streamlined and compact for casual 30mph+ tho. Canāt look too Superman around college.
Then go with leatt 3df shorts or any shorts with d3o foam
Flatland gloves are definitely light duty stuff. Tbh, thatās what I bought them for - my fault for trying to use them for more than that.
Properly fitted glove literally slid right off of my hand inā¦ not that bad of a crash in the grand scheme of things. Luckily, I didnāt get too badly damagedā¦ But damn. Glove came right off 
Have had the exact same crash situation in the cheapest slide gloves triple 8 offers and they hold tight. If youāre going over 30mph for most of the ride, you should probably have something slightly beefier than flatland, or modify them a bit so that they really cinch around the wrist.

Do they have a unidirectional wrist brace like the flatlands? Tbh, thatās the only thing they really have going for them. I bought them to be something compact, quick to put on, with enough protection for light runsā¦ but honestly, theyāre not very compact at allā¦
Not like the new FL3D, no. These are designed as an MX glove. Have saved my hands a couple of times already.
Do you guys reccomend Sector 9 BHNC gloves?
- Do they breathe well?
- Are they comfortable?
I donāt really plan on using the slide pucks, maybe in my non remote handā¦ But will they hold up after a fall?
Hopefully someone here has used em before
If you hate them, reccomend me something light, durable and breathable thatās not stupidly expensive (please 
)

My friends have these, the finger tips are really rigid in my opinion compared to leather ones.

Xion freeride shortsā¦ Just a bit more $ then the Dainese hard shorts.
Xion uses 3DO, alot of coverage for coccyx, hips and, seat. Pads are removable. Low profile.

Hey Guys, Iāve been trying to order protective gear - Iāve ordered the 187 killer pads for elbows, knees and wrist guards but Iām confused about what kind of helmet I should get. Full face/ chin protective or just the head. MIPS needed or not ?
would love some advice

Iād recommend full face or MTB with MIPS. For fast speeds (40mph plus), something MC rated would be good.
