Why We Like The ION Protection Wear Plus Amp Short

We toss on the ION Protection Wear Plus Amp Short under a favorite pair of baggies for some added protection when the trail gets rough and rowdy. These shorts feature a Pro SAS-TEC hip pad, shock-absorbing pads on the thigh and tailbone, and ION's signature SQLab chamois to keep us cushioned where we want it and protected where we need it.

Very minimal protection

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I ordered these “Protection” shorts thinking they would have thicker padding that would actually cushion a fall and really take the edge off of a crash. It turns out the included padding is thin, really thin and I doubt would do much of anything to cushion a fall or take the edge off a crash. I should have returned these instead of wearing them but was hoping for some sort of miracle when ordering them three days ago given I have a Moab trip I’m leaving for tmrw. Ughh, I really wish SixSixOne was still making their Evo Compression protective shorts with a chamois.. Fortunately I still have three pairs of them but they are starting to get old and wearing out. It’s back to the drawing board for me in my search for shorts with offering decent protection.
