I remove (if it even comes with the gear), because I run those TLD padded shorts.

I run Troy Lee padded shorts.   So.... I remove the pants pads unless I'm enduro racing in rocky stuff and then I wear 'em both.

I should try some padded shorts but ya, if my pants have every come with hip pads they are removed. Pants feel and fit better.

After I take out the hip pads I even cut off the velcro so it is not abrasive.

 

Gotta try these shorts you guys speak of though, might be next level comfort.

You guys running shorts under pants go bare back?

I was wondering if anybody used them. I think that out of all of the gear I have sold ,1 person has wanted the hip pads.  I was collecting them hoping I could figure out a way to repurpose them. Anybody have any ideas of what other uses there could be for them?

I only run them if the pants fit a little loose and I need some extra stuffing. Otherwise I toss them on day 1.
