Low-profile, kids-specific crash shorts that help soften spills while they learn, explore the park, or ride firm snow.
The Burton Kids Impact Shorts are designed to slip under snow pants and give young riders extra protection where they hit the ground most. A soft, stretchy DRYRIDE Ultrawick-style body fabric keeps things breathable and quick-drying, while low-profile padding is ergonomically placed around the hips, thighs, and tailbone to cushion falls without feeling bulky. The next-to-skin fit and comfy elastic waistband help the shorts stay put all day, giving groms a bit more confidence to try new turns, features, and tricks.

| Fit | Kids’ next-to-skin, boxer-short style fit with 360° stretch fabric, ergonomic pad placement, and a soft elastic waistband for secure, chafe-free wear |
