Low-profile padded shorts that take the sting out of slams when you are learning, lapping park, or pushing on icy days.
Burton Impact Shorts are next-to-skin crash shorts designed to sit discreetly under your snow pants while adding serious protection to hips, thighs, and tailbone. A stretch DRYRIDE Ultrawick body keeps things breathable and quick-drying, while flexible impact padding is ergonomically mapped around key zones so you can move naturally and still have backup when you catch an edge. The boxer-short style fit with a soft elastic waistband helps them stay put and comfortable all day, making them an easy add if you are linking first turns, spending time in the park, or just want a bit more confidence on firm days.
| Waterproofing | Non-waterproof stretch knit designed for moisture-wicking and quick drying under outerwear rather than blocking external water |
| Warmth | Light, breathable base-layer style fabric that adds a touch of extra warmth without bulk; primary focus is impact protection, not insulation |
| Fit | Next-to-skin, boxer-short style fit with stretch 360° fabric, ergonomic pad placement, and a soft elastic waistband to minimise chafe and slipping |
