Leather Modification

[raynerider]

so i took a couple nasty falls yesterday and since my leathers dont have hip pads, my right hip is all messed up and i can barley walk. i was wondering if me wearing hip pads for football under my leathers would be somthing to consider. and do all leathers not have hip pads or is that just mine?

thanks

if the pads fit under them, yes theyd help with impacts but comfort riding and the extra bulk is another story.

not all leathers have hip padding, i think most suits will come with it and you could take it (i think i dont know for sure), when i had mine made i just chose not to have hip padding

I've taken jeans and cut the legs off, used the material to sew pockets on the insides and stuffed them with foam carpet underlay material. I'm sure you could to the same.

Though hip protection will be different than thigh and ass.

good stuff thanks guys. and its just that whenever i fall i go to my hip first, i guess its a bad habit. i think i have some old hip pads from pop warner football il test it out.

And to Canon i have some cut offs il give it a try

I have the same problem...my hips always take the brunt of my falls...i got a pressure vest from fow racing to help that, it has hip protection. pretty sure it wont fit under leathers so i would say sew in some foam or something...it should help a great deal
